North West notes on dispensers & coolers
Rustenburg mine offices and shaft canteens are big users of floor-standing coolers because staff drink heavily in the heat. Hot and cold units suit the guesthouses around Sun City and the Hartbeespoort lodges. In Potchefstroom, university residences and student shops favour countertop dispensers that are easy to move. Plumbed-in options need a good look at the water first, since hard borehole water can scale hot tanks quickly.
Drinking water in North West
North West is dry, flat and hot in summer, with limited surface water, so many towns rely on the Vaal, the Crocodile and the Hartbeespoort Dam, and on boreholes sunk into dolomite aquifers around Lichtenburg and Mahikeng. Rustenburg's platinum mines and their staff villages use huge volumes of drinking water, and when a pump station or pipeline fails, the effect spreads quickly. Farms outside Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp often run on borehole water that is hard and sometimes salty. Clinics, schools and smallholdings across the province regularly buy water in bottles or in tanks.
Typical water coolers requests in the area come from:
- Factories, mines and building sites: heavy-duty coolers in workshops and canteens where heat and dust make people thirsty
- Farms, smallholdings and villages: a cold water cooler in the farm office or packing shed, on filtered or tested water
- Offices and business parks: a compressor cooler near the open-plan area, topped up with weekly bottle delivery
