Dainfern Golf Estate is a security estate off Fourways where hot water plant is typically heat pump with buffer storage, plus pool heating on most stands.

Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
