The Problem
When the water stops, everything stops
Interruptions and restrictions can leave a property without water for hours — sometimes days. For households, gardens and businesses across Gauteng, that downtime is more than an inconvenience.
And a tank standing alone is not a backup system. Without the right connections and pumps, it won't deliver water where you need it when the supply fails.
The Big Joe Solution
Storage and backup, designed properly
We design and install storage and backup systems that actually work: tank sizing for your usage, pump connections, borehole-to-tank and tank-to-house systems, and municipal backup setups where appropriate.
The result is practical water security, designed around your property's needs. The right setup depends on site conditions and how you use water — which is exactly why we start with a professional assessment, not guesswork.
What's Included
Water Storage & Backup, Start To Finish
Every storage project is scoped in your quotation — typically covering:
Storage Tanks
Tank sizing and reliable installation, matched to your usage — backup, irrigation or primary supply.
Backup Water Supply Systems
Backup supply that keeps water available when municipal or borehole supply is interrupted.
Pump Connections
Pumps connected correctly so stored water actually reaches your taps at usable pressure.
Borehole-To-Tank Systems
Your borehole feeding your tanks reliably, with the right piping, controls and connections.
Tank-To-House Systems
Stored water plumbed into the house or building, with a pressure pump where needed.
Municipal Backup Setups
Where appropriate, municipal supply keeps your tanks topped up so backup water is always ready.
Final scope is confirmed in your quotation — every property is different.

FAQs
Water Storage & Backup Questions
What size water tank do I need?
It depends on your household or business usage and what the tank is for — backup only, irrigation, or primary supply. There's no fixed answer, which is why we size it with you during the assessment rather than guessing. The right setup depends on site conditions and how you actually use water.
Can you connect a borehole to a water tank?
Yes. Borehole-to-tank systems are a core part of what we do — the piping, controls and connections that let your borehole fill your storage reliably. We can also add a tank-to-house system so the stored water supplies the building itself.
Can you install backup water for a home?
Yes. A typical home setup combines a storage tank, a pressure pump and the right connections — with a municipal backup setup where appropriate — so the household keeps running when supply is interrupted. We work across Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Johannesburg and the wider Gauteng region.
Do I need a pressure pump with my tank?
For household use, usually yes. Gravity alone rarely gives usable pressure from a ground-level tank, so a pressure pump is what restores normal pressure to your taps and showers. See our pressure pumps & VSDs service.
Can you upgrade an existing water storage setup?
Yes. We assess what you already have — tanks, pumps and connections — and quote on practical improvements, whether that's more capacity, better pressure or proper backup integration. The quotation is free and without obligation.
