Types of Water Pumps in Kenya

Common types of water pumps available include:

Surface Pumps

These are ideal for shallow water sources (less than 25 meters). They are affordable and easy to install.

Submersible (Borehole) Pumps

Installed inside the borehole, these pumps push water upwards efficiently. They are the best option for deep wells.

Solar Water Pumps

Solar pumps use sunlight, making them perfect for remote farms with no electricity.

Petrol Water Pumps

Petrol engine water pumps use petrol to pump water for irrigation, domestic or industrial use.

They are portable and cheaper compared to diesel or solar pumps.

Diesel Water Pumps

Diesel water pumps are powered by diesel engines. They have deliberately high heads and consume less fuel. Diesel pumps are designed to deliver high pressure and continuous operation. Ideal for heavy duty irrigation water supply, domestic water distribution and industrial use.

• Petrol pumps: small farms, portability
• Borehole pumps: deep water extraction

Key Factors Affecting Water Pump Prices

• Flow rate
• Horsepower
• Depth of water source
• Power requirements
• Brand and durability

Considerations When Selecting Water Pumps

Flow Rate

Measured in liters per hour determines how much water you get. The pump’s output should match your daily water requirements.

Head

The vertical distance the pump must lift water. Choose a pump that can move water to where it is needed.

Power Needs

Choose a pump based on pump’s power requirements. If you have reliable access to grid power, you can go for electric pumps. However, you may need to consider solar, diesel, or petrol pumps.

Pump Efficiency

Power consumption is also another factor to consider. You must assess the pump motor power requirements to ensure it will operate efficiently.
