Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps in Kenya are the standard choice for boreholes, deep wells and water storage tanks. They are sealed, energy efficient and engineered to push water from depths of up to 300 metres.
Explore Submersible PumpsBorehole Pumps
Borehole pumps are submersible pumps purpose-built for narrow borehole casings, typically 4-inch or 6-inch. They are the backbone of off-grid and on-grid water supply across Kenya.
Explore Borehole PumpsDeep Well Pumps
Deep well pumps handle high static heads of 100m and above. They are common in upcountry farms and rural water projects in Kenya where the water table sits deep below the surface.
Explore Deep Well PumpsIrrigation Pumps
Irrigation pumps in Kenya prioritise flow rate over pressure, delivering large volumes of water to farms, greenhouses and horticulture projects.
Explore Irrigation PumpsBooster Pumps
Booster pumps raise water pressure inside buildings and pipe networks. They are essential in multi-storey homes, apartments and commercial premises in Nairobi and other Kenyan towns.
Explore Booster PumpsSolar Compatible Pumps
Solar water pumps are the most cost-effective solution for off-grid boreholes and farms in Kenya. They eliminate fuel costs and reduce dependence on KPLC.
Explore Solar Compatible PumpsWhat are submersible pumps used for in Kenya?
Submersible pumps in Kenya extract groundwater from boreholes for domestic water supply, drip irrigation, livestock watering, and industrial processes. They operate fully submerged in the borehole, push water upward using centrifugal force from multi-stage impellers, and run on single-phase KPLC power, 3-phase supply, or solar DC systems. Borehole depths in Kenya range from 30 metres in parts of Central Province to over 200 metres in arid areas of Rift Valley and Northern Kenya. Common delivery regions include Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Thika, Machakos, Nyeri, Nanyuki, and Rift Valley towns including Naivasha and Kericho.

Buying guide
How to choose the right submersible pump for your borehole
How do I match a submersible pump to my borehole depth?
Match the pump's total dynamic head (TDH) to your static water level plus discharge height plus 20% safety margin. For a 60m static water level with a 10m overhead tank, you need a pump rated at minimum 84m TDH. Pedrollo 4SR and Dayliff DDP series cover 50-130m. Grundfos SQ and SP series cover 80-300m for deep industrial boreholes.
What is the price of submersible pumps in Kenya?
Submersible pump prices in Kenya start from KSh 38,500 for the Dayliff DDP 1.5 (1HP, 70m head) up to KSh 165,000 for the Lorentz PS2-150 solar system. Grundfos SQ 3-65 is KSh 89,500. Pedrollo 4SR 2/14 is KSh 76,500. All prices include VAT. Call +254 701 374 079 for a current quote on any model.
What is the difference between a 1HP and 2HP submersible pump in Kenya?
A 1HP submersible pump in Kenya handles domestic boreholes up to 80m total dynamic head with a flow rate of 40-60 litres per minute - sufficient for a family home or small plot. A 2HP pump handles 100-150m head at higher flow rates, suitable for multi-storey buildings, small farms, or boreholes with low recharge rate requiring fast filling of storage tanks.
Are solar submersible pumps suitable for Kenyan farms?
Solar submersible pumps are well-suited for Kenyan farms where KPLC grid power is unreliable or absent. Lorentz PS2 and Dayliff solar models power drip and sprinkler irrigation using 600W to 3kW solar arrays. Running costs are 60-80% lower than diesel alternatives. Most popular in Rift Valley, Nyanza, and Coast farming regions where grid outages are common.
Do submersible pumps work in sandy boreholes in Kenya?
Sandy boreholes require submersible pumps with sand-resistant stainless steel impellers and a sand filter on the pump inlet. Grundfos SQ and SP series specify maximum sand content of 50g/m³. A properly developed borehole should pump clear water below 10g/m³ sand content. We advise all customers to share their borehole completion report before selecting a pump model.

"Ordered the Dayliff 1HP pump for our 65m borehole in Nakuru. Delivery arrived next day. The pump has been running for 11 months without any issue. Called +254 701 374 079 and they helped me size it correctly."

What sizes of submersible pumps do you stock?
We stock 4-inch submersible pumps (100mm) for standard domestic and farm boreholes, and 6-inch pumps (150mm) for high-volume industrial boreholes. By horsepower: 0.5HP, 1HP, 1.5HP, 2HP, 3HP, 5HP, and above. By brand: Dayliff, Grundfos, Pedrollo, Lorentz, CRI, and Franklin Electric. Call +254 701 374 079 to confirm current stock.
Do you deliver submersible pumps outside Nairobi?
Yes. We deliver submersible pumps countrywide in Kenya. Standard delivery to Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Thika, Nyeri, Machakos, and Rift Valley towns takes 1-3 business days via courier. Freight charges depend on pump weight and destination county. WhatsApp +254 701 374 079 for a delivery quote to your location.
How long does a submersible pump last in Kenya?
A correctly sized submersible pump installed in a clean, properly developed borehole lasts 8-15 years in Kenya. Grundfos SQ and SP series have documented lifespans exceeding 10 years. Early failure is most often caused by dry-running (borehole runs dry), KPLC voltage fluctuation, incorrect sizing for borehole depth, or sand ingress. A motor protection relay significantly extends pump lifespan.
Can I run a submersible pump on solar power?
Yes, in two ways. Dedicated DC solar submersible pumps (Lorentz PS2 series) connect directly to solar panels via MPPT controller without an inverter. Standard AC submersible pumps (Dayliff, Pedrollo, Grundfos) can run on solar via a VFD solar inverter. The solar array must be sized at 120% of the pump motor's kW rating. Call +254 701 374 079 for solar pump sizing.
What warranty do your submersible pumps come with?
All submersible pumps we supply carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Dayliff, Grundfos, and Pedrollo warranties cover motor and pump body defects under normal operating conditions. Warranty is void if the pump runs dry, operates outside its rated head/flow, or is installed without a motor protection relay. We provide warranty documentation with every order.
