System Specifics

Today, M&T is still a family business. Pieter Theron, and his daughter Marisa van Zyl are at the helm of the industry, and their first consideration is always to make the product as cost-effective as possible for their customers.

The M&T equipment is mainly designed for livestock watering purposes. It is important to determine which M&T system will best serve a given borehole. The M&T 45-meter system is sufficient for any water level shallower than 45 meters. Once water levels go deeper than that, the M&T 60-meter system is the answer. However, make completely sure that this is indeed the case. It is our experience that most boreholes deliver water within 45 meters.

The M&T force head system is used to elevate water up to 10 m over 1km. See the patent below for further details.

Users of M&T systems have to purchase their own plastic pipes, which are readily available from farming cooperatives. Find a complete list of necessities below:

• The appropriate M&T system (For sale at BKB. Contact us if you do not have a BKB near you.)
• SABS pipes or SABS standard pipes (outer pipe with outer dimension 63mm, inner dimension 55mm; inner pipe with outer dimension 50mm, inner dimension 40mm) (For sale at BKB as well as other farming cooperatives and industrial suppliers.)
• A cordless drill, 8mm drill bit and 25mm wood drill bit
• 8mm bolt & nut to fit through the wooden rod
• Gas burner and piece of metal to melt & forge the tips of the nylon rod
• Hammer and water-pump pliers
• No. 13 Wrench, wrench and chain or pipe wrench

• 32 mm coupling for the T-piece and 32 mm pipe to divert water to the dam

There is no cylinder; the system forms its own cylinder.
