Frequently Asked Questions

How deep do you need to drill in Harare?

Harare water tables vary. Suburbs like Mt Pleasant or Borrowdale usually hit steady water between 40 meters to 70 meters. We conduct precise siting first to confirm.

What if no water is found on my site?

Our hydrogeological survey has a 98% success rate. If our recommended sited point yields no water, we offer a re-siting guarantee under our contract terms.

Can I run the pump completely on solar?

Yes! Over 80% of our installations in Zimbabwe are 100% solar powered, eliminating dependence on ZESA power or expensive diesel generators.
