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 solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add solar geysers or retrofit kits to reduce electricity bills
- Complexes: estates and complexes need body corporate approval for roof-mounted collectors
- Hospitality: lodges and hotels install solar arrays to cut the cost of guest hot water
- Restaurants: restaurants use solar to preheat large volumes of kitchen hot water
- Offices: offices fit small solar systems for kitchens and staff showers
- Retail: shopping centres fit solar water heating for food courts and staff facilities
