Basic Water Storage
A tank connected to a suitable supply with manual or gravity-fed access where the property layout allows it.
- Basic stored-water reserve
- Manual or gravity-fed access
- Suitable for selected outdoor or utility uses
WATER SECURITY FOR YOUR PROPERTY
Professionally designed JoJo tank, pump and plumbing systems that keep water available when the municipal supply is interrupted.
PREPARE FOR WATER INTERRUPTIONS
Municipal water interruptions can affect cooking, washing, toilets, cleaning and normal business operations. A correctly designed water backup system stores water while supply is available and makes that reserve accessible when municipal water stops.
M&N Solars & Plumbing designs and installs complete water backup systems for homes, small businesses, schools, complexes and other properties across Pretoria.
A complete system—not only a tankThe correct solution may include a storage tank, base, valves, float control, pump, pressure controller, filtration and plumbing integration. The final design depends on the property and intended use.

WHY INSTALL WATER BACKUP?
Stored water helps protect everyday routines and gives households and businesses greater control during supply interruptions.
01
Keep water available for washing, cleaning, bathing and other essential household tasks.
02
Maintain sanitation and hand-washing facilities when municipal water is unavailable.
03
Avoid urgent dependence on bottled water or emergency tanker deliveries.
04
Help staff, customers and facilities continue operating through temporary interruptions.

TURNKEY INSTALLATION
We don’t simply deliver a tank. We assess the available space, water demand, supply connection, pressure requirements and intended use before recommending a suitable system.
TANK SIZE & SYSTEM COST
Tank size is only one part of the quotation. A proper assessment considers how much water the property uses and how the system must operate.
Tank CapacityAvailable sizes range from approximately 500L to 10,000L, depending on space and expected demand.
Number of UsersHousehold size, staff numbers or complex requirements affect the reserve needed.
Required PressureGravity-fed access and pumped whole-house systems have different requirements.
Installation AccessTank positioning, delivery access, pipe routes and base preparation affect labour and materials.
FiltrationThe water source and intended use determine whether filtration or treatment is required.
Plumbing IntegrationThe number of fixtures and extent of connection affect system complexity.
We’ll assess the property and recommend a system suited to your water needs, available space and budget.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Water is stored in a tank while the municipal supply is available. When supply is interrupted, the stored water can be delivered to selected fixtures or the property through gravity or a suitably designed pump system.
The correct size depends on the number of users, typical daily consumption, available installation space and how long you want the reserve to last. A site assessment is the best way to size the system properly.
A correctly sized booster pump can provide pressure to selected fixtures or the wider property. Pump selection depends on the required flow rate, number of outlets and property layout.
That depends on the original water source, tank condition, system design, maintenance and treatment. A storage tank or basic filter does not automatically guarantee potable water. Tell us if drinking-water use is required so appropriate filtration and treatment can be considered.
Cost depends on tank capacity, base preparation, pump and pressure requirements, filtration, pipe routes and the extent of plumbing integration. We provide a property-specific quotation after understanding the installation requirements.
Yes, selected installations can be scheduled in Johannesburg and other Gauteng areas. Availability depends on the location and scope of the project. Our primary service base is Pretoria.
