What We Do

Your Property's Own
Water Supply

South Africa's water and energy challenges aren't going away — but your dependence on them can. REMA Group designs and installs complete rainwater harvesting and water backup systems that capture, store and pump your own water supply completely independent of the municipality and the power grid.

From a simple single JoJo tank feeding your garden irrigation to a complete multi-tank system supplying your whole home or farm, we size and design every system around your specific water needs, roof area and storage requirements.

Since we also install irrigation systems, borehole pumps and plumbing, we can integrate your rainwater system into a complete property water solution — one team, one installation, total peace of mind.

Our Solutions

Five Ways We Keep
Your Water Flowing

Every system is custom-designed for your property's storage needs, roof area and water usage.

Core System

Rainwater Harvesting

We collect rainwater from your roof via gutters and downpipes, filter it and store it in JoJo tanks or bulk storage. The water feeds your garden, irrigation or even your home depending on the filtration level installed.

Storage

JoJo Tank Systems

Single or multi-tank from 750L to 10,000L+ for residential and commercial properties.

Backup

Municipal Water Backup

Tank and pump systems that automatically kick in when municipal supply is cut or pressure drops.

Pumping

Pump & Pressure Systems

Pressure pump installations ensuring consistent flow from storage tanks throughout your property.

Integration

Borehole & Tank Integration

Link your borehole directly to storage tanks and irrigation for a fully independent water cycle.

Why It Matters

South Africa's Water
Reality — And the Solution

Water restrictions, loadshedding-caused pump failures and ageing infrastructure are real threats to every property. Here's what a REMA water system gives you:

Water During Municipal Outages

When municipal supply is cut, your backup tank automatically takes over — no disruption to your daily routine.

Works During Loadshedding

Our systems are paired with pumps that have battery backup or solar options — your water flows even when the lights don't.

Lower Municipal Water Bills

Using harvested rainwater for garden, irrigation and toilet flushing can significantly reduce your monthly costs.

Perfect for Farm & Agricultural Use

Large-scale systems for farms needing reliable, high-volume water storage for livestock, crops and irrigation.

Integrates with Irrigation & Borehole

We build complete end-to-end water systems — rainwater + irrigation + borehole in a single project.

The Numbers

Why Water Independence
Makes Financial Sense

90%
Roof Rainfall Captured

Up to 90% of rooftop rainwater can be harvested — even in Pretoria's summer rainfall season.

40%
Water Bill Saving

Many clients see a 30–40% reduction in municipal water bills after switching garden and irrigation use to stored rainwater.

10k+
Litres Storage

Multi-tank systems can store 10,000 litres or more — enough for weeks of household water use in an emergency.

17+
Years Experience

Over 17 years installing water systems for homes, farms and businesses across Pretoria and Gauteng.

Ask on WhatsApp
Is rainwater harvesting legal in South Africa?

Yes — completely legal and actively encouraged. There are no restrictions on collecting rainwater from your own roof. Some municipalities even offer incentives for water-saving installations. All our systems comply with local by-laws and SANS standards.

How much water can I collect from my roof?

A typical 150m² Pretoria roof can collect around 9,000–12,000 litres from a single good summer thunderstorm. The formula: roof area (m²) × rainfall (mm) × 0.8 = litres collected. We calculate your specific catchment during our free assessment.

Can the harvested water be used for drinking?

Basic systems produce water suitable for garden irrigation, toilet flushing, laundry and vehicle washing without treatment. For potable drinking water, we install multi-stage filtration including sediment filters, activated carbon and UV sterilisation. We advise on the right filtration level based on your intended use.

What size JoJo tank do I need?

For garden and irrigation use, a 2,500–5,000 litre JoJo is typically sufficient. For whole-home backup, we recommend 5,000–10,000 litres minimum. For farms, 20,000+ litre bulk tanks may be appropriate. We calculate the optimal size during your free assessment — there's no one-size-fits-all answer.

Can this be linked to my existing irrigation system?

Absolutely — your harvested rainwater feeds your irrigation system, meaning your garden waters itself for free using naturally collected rain. Since REMA installs both, we design them to work seamlessly together, often in a single combined installation visit.
