When the pump fails, everything stops. No shower, no kitchen tap, no toilet flush. We install and service the full range of tank water systems — from basic single-pump setups to multi-tank configurations with UV treatment, header tanks, and pressure management.
Whether you need a new pump installed, your existing system serviced, or a complete tank water setup for a new build, we handle it.
Pump cycling on and off — short cycling usually means a failed pressure switch or waterlogged pressure tank.
Low or fluctuating pressure — could be a worn impeller, blocked filter, or undersized pump for your household demand.
Pump running but no water — lost prime, dry tank, blocked intake, or a failed foot valve. Needs checking before the motor burns out.
Tripping the circuit breaker — electrical fault in the pump motor. Do not keep resetting it — call us.
Water tastes or smells off — tank contamination, UV lamp expired, or filter needs replacing. Common after heavy rain or long dry spells.
Pump is over 10 years old — pumps in Beachlands's coastal environment wear faster. If it's struggling, replacement is often cheaper than repeated repairs.
Building in Beachlands? If you are not on town supply, you need a complete tank water system designed from the start. We work with your builder to plan and install:
It depends on the number of bathrooms, distance from the tank to the house, and how many fixtures could run at once. A typical 3-bedroom home does well with a 1HP constant pressure pump. We assess your property and recommend the right size — oversizing wastes power, undersizing gives you poor pressure.
We recommend an annual check — pressure switch, electrical connections, filter condition, and general operation. In Beachlands's coastal environment, salt air corrodes electrical components faster than inland. A yearly service catches problems before they leave you without water.
If you are drinking from rainwater tanks, yes. Rainwater can contain bacteria, parasites, and bird droppings from the roof catchment. A UV steriliser kills these without chemicals and without affecting the taste. The Ministry of Health recommends UV treatment for all roof-collected rainwater used for drinking.
Short cycling is usually a waterlogged pressure tank (the bladder inside has failed) or a faulty pressure switch. It can also be a small leak somewhere in the system that causes the pressure to drop. We diagnose and fix it — usually a straightforward repair.
Yes. We retrofit pumps onto existing tank setups all the time. We connect to your existing tank outlet, install the pump with appropriate fittings and a pressure tank, and tie into your house plumbing. If your tank does not have a suitable outlet, we can add one.
