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 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
- Factories: factories preheat process and wash-down water with solar collectors
- Offices: offices fit small solar systems for kitchens and staff showers
