Water backup systems in Pretoria on your own supply.
Water backup systems in Pretoria from PFB Energy Group mean 5,000 to 10,000-litre storage with a booster pump and filtration, so your home keeps normal pressure whatever the municipality does. Paired with your solar, water keeps flowing on your own power too. Because one team handles it, installation takes a day across Pretoria East, Centurion and Gauteng.
What water backup systems in Pretoria include.
Every installation is a working system: storage, automatic fill, a booster pump that makes showers feel like mains pressure, filtration before the pump so stored water stays clean, and a changeover valve that switches to tank supply the moment municipal pressure drops. We handle the plinth, plumbing and electrical sign-off as one job.
5–10kL storage
Sized to your household, garden and staff quarters — a single tank or two linked tanks on a proper plinth.
Booster pump
Variable-speed pump for stable pressure, with automatic switching — nothing to do manually.
Filtration
Sediment and carbon filtration fitted before the pump so stored water stays clean.
Powered by your solar
Where you have a PFB solar system, the pump is wired to the backup circuit so water keeps flowing on your own power.
Water backup systems in Pretoria: three sizes.
Most Pretoria East households use between 600 and 1,000 litres a day, so a 5,000-litre tank covers a typical family for five to seven days of a municipal outage — longer than almost every Tshwane interruption on record. Larger homes in Woodhill, Mooikloof and Silver Lakes with gardens and staff quarters usually move to 10,000 litres or two linked tanks.

Water and power, designed together.
A tank without a powered pump is just storage. Because we also install the solar, the booster pump is wired to the backup circuit and sized into the battery design. As a result, water keeps flowing on your own power, without any manual switching, and without competing with the cameras or the fridge.
