As in many other places, Roatan and the Bay Islands more specifically, there are many people offering handy-man and different types of repair services. These include, but are not limited to:
These services are abundant, variable in quality and legality. Some are legal businesses specialising in one or more of these areas offering good service, others are perhaps less qualified individuals trying to make a living.
This can be a problem when it comes to accountability. The work may not be done correctly. Compliant invoices may not be available for your business expenses. There may not offer any kind of guarantee. You may be charged for work, and be left without a solution.
At Liquid Systems, these are all things we avoid to provide the best possible customer service.
At Liquid Systems, we stay specialized in our area of expertise. We will not take on work that we do not have the absolute expertise or tools to carry out. Our preference is to provide a reference for another business or individual who is able to carry out that specialized work.
Liquid Systems is a legal business with the correct paperwork to be able to work for your business. We offer a 90 guarantee on repairs (where applicable), and are transparent and accountable throughout the installation and repair process, with photos, videos and availability over the phone, email and WhatsApp (very useful to send videos in the middle of repairs).

Your shallow well jet pump is the pump that moves water from your water source (“shallow well”, cistern or holding tank). Each pump has a certain size for suction and discharge piping. In this post we will look at the problem of cavitation and how to avoid it.
For the most commonly found pumps in Roatan, it’s usually 1 1/4″ x 1″ or 1″x1″. This means that the piping from the water source should be that size from the water source all the way to the pump (suction side).
Some cisterns or designed systems will have a much smaller outlet – it can be as small as 1/2″. If you have 1/2″ pipe all the way from the water source, and then stepped up to 1 1/4″ just before the pump, this causes cavitation.
Cavitation happens when the pump is starved of water. This means there is not enough water going to the pump, though it requires a certain amount to work effectively. This mixes air with the water, which causes damage to the inside of the pump, causing the pump parts to wear out much faster than they should. You would also likely notice air coming out when using water (especially larger volumes).
Get it set up right from the beginning or corrected after the fact. You will avoid these problems and get the most of your well-tuned system. Liquid Systems is here to save you money – we want your equipment to last as long as possible!

Sometimes it might not be obvious HOW Liquid Systems can actually help you or your business save money. So here I will recount some of the Liquid Systems success stories:
A customer brought a deep well pump to Liquid Systems. This particular well pump was one of a few supplying a particular community in Roatan.
The owner of the pump had previously brought it to another place for repair. This other place told them that parts were not available and nothing could be done for this pump, but maybe to bring it to Liquid Systems “as a last resort”. Now just to be clear, the other place was not a dedicated pump repair center, but they would have taken on the repair regardless. Liquid Systems provides free estimates, guaranteed repairs, and ever increasing inventory suited to meet your needs – including factory parts and generic parts.
At Liquid Systems we determined:
With the pump and motor combination retailing at several thousand $$, they got their deep well pump cleaned up, repaired and tested all for an unusually low 4% of the cost of new! This included a FREE estimate – the customer decided to go ahead with the repair.
With our knowledge and our preparation – this community saved money…Maybe yours can too!
