The Joburg reality
Water cuts shouldn't stop your day.
Across Johannesburg, planned maintenance, infrastructure failures and pressure problems mean taps run dry without warning - often for hours or days. A backup water system keeps your household or business running through every outage.
- Unplanned supply cuts
No warning, no water - sometimes for days.
- Low or no pressure
Upper floors and geysers starve when the system is weak.
- Business downtime
No water means no trading for restaurants, salons and offices.
The GotWater fix
A correctly sized tank, the right pump and an automatic changeover valve - so the moment municipal supply drops, your stored water takes over seamlessly. You may not even notice.
- Seamless automatic switchover
- Consistent, strong pressure
- Clean, filtered water
- Neat, professional installation

Frequently asked questions
It depends on your household size, water usage and how long you want to be covered during an outage. During your free survey we recommend the right capacity - most homes go with a 2,500–5,000 litre tank.
A changeover valve constantly monitors your municipal supply. The moment pressure drops, it automatically draws from your backup tank and pump - so your taps keep flowing without you lifting a finger. When the municipal supply returns, it refills the tank.
Most standard residential installations are completed within 48 hours of you approving the quote. Larger or commercial systems may take a little longer - we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
We install across the northern suburbs of Johannesburg - including Sandton, Randburg, Northcliff, Bryanston, Fourways, Lonehill and Kyalami. Just outside these areas? Send us a WhatsApp and we'll confirm whether we can help.
Yes. We use food-grade tanks and can add multi-stage filtration and purification so your backup water is clean and safe for everyday use, including drinking.
Absolutely. Our installations are backed by a workmanship warranty, and the components we fit carry their own manufacturer guarantees.
GotWater will help you to determine exactly what will be required to configure the system to your needs. The basic requirements will include a flat and secure base for your tank and pump to be placed on, access to the municipal main incoming feed, and electricity for the pump.
