Plumbing in Port Elizabeth
Gqeberha and the wider Nelson Mandela Bay metro went through a prolonged drought in recent years, with supply dams falling to very low levels and strict water restrictions in force. Households responded with rainwater tanks, boreholes, greywater diversion and low-flow fittings, and municipal leak repair became a major issue. The city is also the centre of South Africa's motor industry, with vehicle and component plants in Kariega and the Coega zone needing industrial plumbing. Older homes in Walmer and Newton Park have ageing galvanised pipes, and the windy coastal climate means beachfront properties in Summerstrand and Humewood deal with salt-air corrosion on geysers and fittings.

Typical heat pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add heat pumps to existing geysers to lower monthly electricity bills
- Factories: factories use heat pumps for canteens, ablutions and process water
- Complexes: complexes need body corporate approval for where outdoor units are mounted
- Hospitality: hotels and lodges fit commercial heat pumps for rooms and pools
- Offices: offices fit heat pumps to geysers serving kitchens and staff showers
- Schools: schools install heat pumps for hostels, change rooms and swimming pools
