Klipspringer Plumbing fits and supplies water treatment across Cape Town's far south, from a single under-sink drinking filter to a system that treats a whole property's supply. We work with landlords and letting agents running older homes and guest houses, quoting off a WhatsApp photo so you know the price before anyone arrives. You pick the fix that suits the home and the tenant. Then the water runs clean from the tap and you have an invoice the owner can read without a single question.

What water problems are your tenants complaining about?

The messages tend to sound the same. The kitchen water tastes off, there's a faint chlorine smell and a white crust builds up on the kettle and the shower head. Sometimes the water runs cloudy for a minute after the tap opens.

Most of these homes were plumbed decades ago. Old galvanised pipes shed rust and scale as they age. The far south sits close to the sea, so salt and hard minerals load the supply too. Add load-shedding and water can sit still in the pipes for hours before it moves again.

Worth knowing: not every complaint needs the same fix. A bad taste at one tap is a different job to grit across the whole house. The two services below answer those two problems. For wider background, see Water Safety Plan Manual (iris.who.int).

Our water treatment services

Which one you need comes down to where the trouble shows up. Is it just the drinking water at your kitchen tap? Then an under-sink water filter sorts that one point. If the grit, smell or scale shows up at every tap, water filtration system installation treats the whole supply instead. We tell you which one the photo points to before we quote.

Water treatment supplier for Cape Town landlords and letting agents

We work the far south every week. Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Lakeside, Tokai and Constantia all fall on our regular route. The housing stock here skews old and old plumbing is where most water complaints start.

Many of these homes are rentals or small guest houses. You are managing them from a distance, fielding a tenant message about the water while you are somewhere else entirely. So we work off a photo. You send the tap, the kettle or the crusty shower head on WhatsApp. We tell you what it is before anyone drives out.

Most landlords want that guessing gone. Not the water alone, but the not knowing that comes with it.

Why choose us for water treatment supplier work

The fix for not knowing is a paper trail you can see.

Frequently asked questions

Will the job be rushed because you're already thinking about the next one?

No. We quote off your photo before we arrive, so the visit is for fitting the right part, not working out what's wrong. That means less standing around guessing and more time doing the actual job properly.

Will I be overcharged for something as simple as a filter under a tap?

We price it off the WhatsApp photo first, so you know the number before anyone drives out. If it's a one-tap job, we quote a one-tap job. We won't dress it up as something bigger.

Will the invoice match what we agreed, or will there be extras added on?

The invoice matches the quote. What we say on the phone or in the WhatsApp message is what lands on the bill, so you can hand it straight to an owner or insurer without any awkward explaining.

Will the plumber actually turn up when they say they will?

Yes. We hold to the time we give you. If you're managing a few properties from a distance, you need to plan your day around a set time, not a maybe.

How much does water treatment cost?

It depends on what's actually wrong and where. A filter under one kitchen tap is a smaller job than a system fitted to treat every tap in the house and older galvanised pipes sometimes need more work to connect to. Send us a photo of the tap, kettle or shower head on WhatsApp and we'll tell you which job it is and what it will cost before anyone drives out.

Is water treatment even the right call for the problem you're having?

Sometimes not. A bad taste or smell at the kitchen tap only might point to a filter. Grit or scale at every tap points to something further back in the pipes. Send us a photo first and we'll tell you honestly what it needs, even if that's nothing from us.
