Applications of Water Pumps

Water Pumps for Irrigation

Irrigation is the most common use for water pumps in Kenya. Pumps help move water from rivers, dams, or boreholes to farms.

When searching for water pumps for irrigation, the choice depends on your irrigation method. If you are using drip irrigation, you need consistent, low pressure. For rain guns or overhead sprinklers, you require high-pressure pumps like the Stallion or AICO diesel models.

Water Pumps for Domestic Water Needs

These pumps supply water to homes, livestock, and storage tanks.

Our water pump models include brands designed with low noise operation thus minimal disturbance in residential areas. These pumps are designed to be “plug and play,” requiring minimal plumbing expertise to install. They ensure that even if your storage tank is at ground level, your upstairs shower has the same pressure as a luxury hotel.

Water Pumps for Drainage

Drainage pumps remove excess water from flooded farms or construction sites.

Best for water emergency water transfer in flooded areas.

Water Pumps for Pressure Boosting

Pressure boosting pumps improve water flow in pipes and irrigation systems.

Booster pumps are used in multi-storey buildings, lawn sprinkler systems, sprinklers and domestic water connections.

Water Pumps for Swimming Pools

Swimming pool pumps are designed for reliable circulation and filtration of pool water.

Diesel vs. Petrol vs. Electric: Which is better?

Choosing between power sources depends on your location and budget.

• Electric Pumps: Best for areas with reliable grid power.
• Petrol Pumps: Lightweight and portable. Ideal for irrigation and domestic water transfer in areas without access to grid power.
• Diesel Pumps: Heavy and powerful. Best for irrigation of large farms. They run continuously and deliver high output for long hours.

Diesel pumps are preferred over petrol for heavy-duty water transfer because they are more fuel efficient than petrol pumps.

Things to Consider When Buying Water Pumps

• Total Dynamic Head (TDH): The vertical height + friction loss in pipes.
• Flow Rate (m³/hr or L/min): How much water you need per hour.
• Inlet/Outlet Size: Usually 1″, 2″, or 3″. A larger outlet moves more water but requires more power.
• Suction Lift: Most surface pumps can’t “pull” water from deeper than 7–8 metres. For anything deeper, you must go submersible.
