The challenge
Outages now last days, not hours
For a clinic, school, guesthouse or restaurant, a dry day means lost income, unhappy customers or a forced closure. The fix on the city's side is years away.
45%of Johannesburg's water is lost before it reaches customers.
Weekswithout water in parts of Midrand, Melville, Brixton and Soweto in 2026.
2029before new bulk water arrives, and it won't fix local pipes.

Water and Power
Because pumps stop when the power does
With Certus Technical Services, we pair water backup with solar and battery power, so your system keeps running through electricity outages too.
Certus Watch
Know your water status at any time
Tank-level sensors with WhatsApp alerts at 50% and 25% storage, pump failure or mains failure, watched by our team as well as yours. Included on Business Continuity and Estate systems; optional on Essential.
Health checks, upgrades and call-outs
Free health check on any existing system
Failing changeovers, undersized pumps, leaks and dirty filters fixed by qualified technicians, whoever installed the system. Care Plan clients get priority.
Every system includes
A Water Continuity Report, engineered sizing, backflow prevention with no cross-connection to the municipal supply, plumbing and electrical Certificates of Compliance, commissioning tests and a full handover pack. Prices exclude VAT; the final price follows the free survey. Photographs are illustrative.
Care and Maintenance Plans
A backup system only helps if it works on the day
Filters clog, pumps fail and changeover valves stick, usually unnoticed until the mains stops. Our Care Plans keep your system ready, whoever installed it.

About us
We take responsibility for your water continuity
Certus Water Solutions is the water-continuity company of Certus Group, based in Kyalami and serving all of Gauteng.
We design, install, monitor and maintain backup water systems for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities and residential estates across Gauteng.
Johannesburg and its neighbouring metros face frequent, prolonged outages caused by ageing infrastructure, leaking reservoirs and a bulk supply system working at its limit. For many of our clients, every dry day means lost trading, cancelled bookings, closed classrooms or a risk to vulnerable people.
We solve that with engineered systems: correctly sized storage, booster pumps, automatic changeover, filtration and, where viable, boreholes, backed by remote monitoring and a service plan with a response guarantee.
Our mission is to keep our clients' taps running when the city's don't, through reliable, compliant and well-maintained water systems.
Our vision is to be South Africa's most trusted water-continuity partner.
