Plumbing in Durban
Durban's warm, humid climate is hard on plumbing. Salt air from the Indian Ocean corrodes geyser drip trays, outside taps and metal fittings, and heavy summer downpours test stormwater drains and gutters, as the destructive April 2022 floods showed. eThekwini Municipality's water network has an ageing backlog, so residents often deal with supply interruptions and install backup tanks with pressure pumps. Older homes on the Berea and in Glenwood still have original pipework, while beachfront hotels, flats and restaurants need reliable hot water and drain maintenance. The port and industrial areas around the south basin add demand for commercial and factory plumbing.
Typical heat pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add heat pumps to existing geysers to lower monthly electricity bills
- Complexes: complexes need body corporate approval for where outdoor units are mounted
- Hospitality: hotels and lodges fit commercial heat pumps for rooms and pools
- Restaurants: restaurants use heat pumps to cut the cost of large hot water volumes
- Factories: factories use heat pumps for canteens, ablutions and process water
- Offices: offices fit heat pumps to geysers serving kitchens and staff showers
