Why Capacity Testing Matters Before You Install a Pump
10 June 2026 Borehole Drilling

Installing the wrong pump size for your borehole's actual yield is one of the most common and costly mistakes farmers and homeowners make in Zimbabwe. Capacity testing measures exactly how much water your borehole can sustainably deliver, so your pump, pipework and storage are sized correctly from day one. Skipping this step often leads to burnt-out pumps, dry-running boreholes and expensive call-outs down the line. Our team runs a full flow test and TDH calculation before recommending any equipment, so you only pay for what your water source can actually support.
