For today, tomorrow, and a thousand generations.
Understand, Reduce and Manage Your Water Consumption.
AQUAffection takes South African schools, commercial properties and industrial sites from Water Savvy to Water Resilient - with smart monitoring, proven efficiency measures, and the training that makes it last.
Trusted by 350+ sites across South Africa.
South Africa's Water Situation
The crisis is urgent. The opportunity to act is now.
Most facilities don't know how much water they use, which makes it impossible to manage. Without visibility, inefficiencies go unnoticed, quietly driving up costs, increasing risk, and letting savings slip down the drain.
47%+
Average non-revenue water losses nationally.
30%+
Average client water loss after the meter, through inefficiency.
#30
South Africa ranks among the 40 driest countries globally.
What We Do
Six pillars to help reduce and manage your water consumption.
Sustainable Water Management isn't one intervention, it's multiple, ongoing, working together. We start with what you're using, fix what's wasted, then build the resilience to keep operating when supply doesn't.
Monitoring
Real-time visibility of consumption, with alerts for leaks, constant flows and pressure drops.
Efficiency
Fine-tuning and proprietary hardware that can cut water use by up to 50% without disrupting operations.
Resilience
Backup supply storage cover, sized for typical outage cluster., so water interruptions don't stop you.
Drinking Quality
Purified water on demand and SANS241-aligned filtration systems to keep you compliant.
Augmentation
Alternative sources like rainwater sump water and groundwater to supplement your supply.
Reuse
Engineered greywater systems that turn wastewater into a resource. Keep your water on site.
Our Approach
From Water Savvy to Water Resilient.
We don't start by selling you infrastructure. We start with data. Because the cheapest water is the water you stop wasting. Once demand is optimised, everything you build afterwards is smaller, cheaper and correctly sized.
Measure. Optimise. Plan.
Phase 1 - Water Savvy
Smart monitoring, efficiency measures, awareness training, and twelve months of structured reporting. Outcome: a Water Resilience Roadmap built on real performance data.
Implement the Roadmap.
Phase 2 - Water Resilient
Backup supply, boreholes, rainwater harvesting, or greywater reuse, correctly sized and sequenced. Because demand has already been optimised, the capital investment is right-sized as a result.
Every engagement runs on our DROP principle: Data, Refine, Options, Proceed. Every client receives a monthly DROP Report tracking exactly what changed and what it saved.
Our Impact
Three numbers we hold ourselves to.
Every month and every year, we measure ourselves against the same three things: how much water we've saved, how much we've supplemented from alternative sources, and how many people we've trained to use it better.

Who We Work With
Water management for schools, property and industry.
A school, a shopping centre and a factory have almost nothing in common, so we don't treat them as if they do.
Saving water starts with knowing why water matters.
Every meter we install and every valve we fix saves water. But the savings that last come from people. Ground staff who spot a leak, learners who close a tap, tenants who care about the number on the bill.
That's why training sits at the centre of everything we do. Research on social change suggests that once around a quarter of a group genuinely adopts a new behaviour, the rest follow quickly. We think responsible water-use is no different, and getting South Africa to that tipping point is what the #SurplusWater movement exists to do.
