Local considerations in Lynnwood
Klapperkop is one of the reservoirs that serves Lynnwood, and the City has previously linked discoloured water in parts of central Pretoria to sediment entering the system when Klapperkop ran low. More recently, the Lynnwood Reservoir was drained for structural repairs. Events like these explain why a whole-house sediment filter is a common request here. Tshwane buys most of its bulk water from Rand Water and Magalies Water and analyses its supply against SANS 241, so for many homes the aim is appearance, taste and appliance protection rather than safety. Pools and irrigation do not normally need filtration from the municipal line. If a borehole supplies any part of the house, it needs its own lab test for microbiology, iron, manganese, hardness and nitrate, and treatment should be specified from those results.
Pricing guidance
Filtration pricing depends on the water source, the lab test results and the flow rate you need — from a few thousand rand for a point-of-use drinking system to significantly more for whole-house or borehole treatment. Ask every installer for the annual running cost as well as the installation price.
Typical Lynnwood scenarios
- A Lynnwood household sees brown water after reservoir maintenance and asks for a point-of-entry sediment filter with a clear housing to monitor build-up. (Illustrative example.)
- A Lynnwood owner plans to use borehole water in the guest cottage, so installers quote only after the lab results come back. (Illustrative example.)
What installation involves
- Water test (lab, for borehole/rain/drinking use)
- System specified from results, source and flow rate
- Pre-filtration and treatment stages installed in sequence
- Connection to whole house or point of use
- Commissioning and flow verification
- Replacement schedule and maintenance handover

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my Lynnwood water discolour after reservoir work?
Low reservoir levels and refilling can move sediment into the pipes. The City has linked discolouration in parts of Pretoria to this. It usually clears once supply stabilises.
Do I need a filter for pool water from the mains?
Generally not. Pool chemistry is managed separately. Filtration budgets are usually better spent on drinking water and protecting geysers and fittings.
What does a Lynnwood borehole water test cover?
Ask for microbiological indicators, iron, manganese, hardness, nitrate, pH, conductivity and turbidity. That gives the installer enough to specify stages without guessing.
Is a clear filter housing useful?
It lets you see sediment build-up, which is handy where interruptions are frequent. You can change the cartridge when it looks dirty rather than on a fixed date only.
Should the filter go before or after the geyser?
A point-of-entry filter goes before the house and geyser, protecting both. Drinking-water units sit at the kitchen tap on the cold line.
Stop hoping the taps work.
