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 solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add solar geysers or retrofit kits to reduce electricity bills
- Factories: factories preheat process and wash-down water with solar collectors
- 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
- Offices: offices fit small solar systems for kitchens and staff showers
- Schools: schools fit solar geysers on hostels and change room roofs
