IMPORTANT PRODUCT /SERVICE INFORMATION
REDUCED WATER PRESSURE?
Ethekwini Water & Sanitation is reducing our overall water pressure in the municipality’s water reticulation network. This has been identified by EWS as the quickest and most economically workable option to reduce water losses, after investigations revealed that the average system’s operating pressure was high, compared with other water-stressed areas. For further information see http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/water-infrastructure-being-upgraded-2010-07-16
The solution to increased water pressure?
Hi-Tec Plumbing’s booster pump system solution is suitable for distributing water under pressure in residential housing and small-scale agricultural and industrial applications where the incoming municipal water supply pressure is inadequate. The pumps are suitable for handling clean water without abrasive particles and fluids which are not chemically aggressive to the pump components. The special operating system makes our water booster pumps an appropriate solution in all cases where water flow rates do not ensure suitable operating pressures. Advantages:
- Strong, even water pressure
- Automatic pressure switch
- Boosts water pressure typically 1.6 - 3.2 Bar
- Adjustable to obtain desired water
- Compact, economical and quiet system
- Easy to install
- Service and full spares available
- 12 month's guarantee on booster pumps
A Jo Jo tank and booster pump are connected into the main water supply to the property. The water supply is routed into the tank thereafter it goes to the pump and back into the water supply and boosts your pressure in the home/office. The size of the tank will be determined by one of our qualified technical staff as each installation differs depending on the individual needs.

PIPE LINES FOR HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLY
Replace existing piping with long-lasting, non corrosive, non-toxic, ‘green’ piping
SABS APPROVED PESTAN GREEN PPR 80 PIPE S& FITTINGS SYSTEM
Fluidterm pipes are intended to be used for the installation of hot and cold hygienic-sanitary water. They can completely replace galvanized pipes in use for drinking water, even with the high contents of calcium (Ca). They are also intended for the transport of alimentary / food quality liquids, irrigation of the greenhouses and gardens, shipment of pressure air, vacuum installations, in chemical industry for the flow of various fluids, as well as for the transport of the sea water, petroleum oil and highly abrasive fluids. They are commonly used for radiator heating, as well as for the floor heating and cooling systems. Their low weight and high tolerance to vibrations, allow their application in trains, ships, trucks and camping trailers, in aggressive environments and on unstable ground. Hi-Tec Plumbing is a trained and approved installer of PPR piping. Some of the advantages of Pestan piping:
- Long life time thanks to their resistance to environmental influences; non corrosive
- They reduce the risk of condensation to a minimum, which is the characteristic of the metal installation
- They are resistant to frost
- Energy saving
- The piping is significantly more affordable than copper
- SABS standard allows for continued use of the pipe/fittings at 70°C
- Installation is quicker than piping of other materials and joints stronger
- No 3rd party value i.e. pipes not likely to be stolen as with copper piping
HIGH PRESSURE DRAIN CLEANING/WATER JETTING
Hi-Tec Plumbing uses high pressure water jetting which is efficient, effective, and economical and an environmentally friendly way of cleaning drain and sewer pipes. It is recommended that not only homes but restaurants, industrial sites and other commercial establishments flush their lines frequently to reduce down time and save money in the long run. The frequency is dependent on how often the lines become clogged but we recommend bi-annual, quarterly or monthly cleaning depending on the type of industry.
