Local considerations in Broadacres
Revived agricultural boreholes are the local filtration signature: water that irrigated crops or livestock for decades needs thorough laboratory testing before any household use, because farm-era supply was never held to drinking standards. Findings vary widely across the suburb’s former-smallholding patchwork — iron, hardness and sediment all common — so treatment is genuinely test-led here, staged to results and sized to the substantial flows larger homes draw. Estate homes on municipal supply add the standard drinking-water and stored-supply requests.
Pricing guidance
Filtration pricing depends entirely on the water source, test results and required flow rate — from a few thousand rand for point-of-use drinking systems to significantly more for whole-house or borehole treatment. Quotes are based on your specific water and usage. Prices here are guidance, not fixed offers — every project is confirmed by site assessment and quotation from the installers themselves.
Typical Broadacres scenarios
- A revived farm borehole is comprehensively lab-tested before household connection; staged treatment brings it to standard. (Illustrative example.)
- A large stand sizes whole-house filtration to simultaneous household and irrigation draw. (Illustrative example.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does old agricultural borehole water need testing?
Thoroughly, before any household use — farm-era water was never held to drinking standards. The laboratory result specifies all treatment.
What do Broadacres boreholes commonly show?
It varies across the former-smallholding patchwork — iron, hardness and sediment all appear. Individual testing, not assumption, sets the train.
How is a large home’s system sized?
To genuine simultaneous peak flow — household plus irrigation — compared stage by stage at the same flow rating.
Do estate homes need filtration?
For drinking-quality or stored municipal supply, point-of-use or sediment-plus-disinfection systems as appropriate — sized to the request.
What are running costs?
Vary with the treatment train — sediment-heavy water changes cartridges more often. Ask every quote for the annual figure.
