Plumbing in Cape Town
Cape Town's plumbing market was reshaped by the 2017–2018 drought, when the threat of Day Zero pushed thousands of households to install rainwater tanks, greywater systems, wellpoints and boreholes. The City of Cape Town's Water By-law also requires a plumbing compliance certificate before a property can be transferred, so sellers regularly call plumbers to check geysers, valves, stormwater connections and water meters. Older homes in the southern suburbs and City Bowl still have galvanised pipes due for replacement, while the Atlantic Seaboard's salt air shortens the life of exposed fittings. Restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks add steady demand for drain and geyser work.
Typical pressure pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homes fit pressure pumps on backup tanks and boost weak mains pressure for showers
- Complexes: complexes install booster sets so upper-floor units get steady pressure
- Hospitality: hotels run VSD booster sets so guest showers stay strong at peak times
- Restaurants: restaurants boost pressure for dishwashers, sinks and busy kitchens
- Offices: office blocks use booster pumps to supply toilets and kitchens on every floor
- Retail: shopping centres boost pressure for public toilets, food courts and cleaning
