Water Pumps In Kenya

Water pumps in Kenya by Grekkon Limited are varied for different purposes. This provides a wide choice to select from for growers according to irrigation use. Below are water pumps by Grekkon Limited

Water pumps in Kenya

Categorisation

1. By displacement

1.1. Centrifugal pumps work through centrifugal force to drive water that enters the impeller. They use the rotational energy from the spinning impeller to produce hydrodynamic energy

1.2. Positive displacement water pumps use a piston, a diaphragm, or a rotating cog or gear to mechanically move a fixed volume of water through the pump chamber

 

 

2. By Location

2.1. Surface pumps suck water through an inlet pipe, then pump it out from an outlet pipe. They are set horizontally on dry surface. Theses are; electric surface pumps including booster pumps, solar surface pumps, diesel and petrol generator water pumps

 

 

2.2. Submersible water pumps work under water in wells. The size and power depends on the well depth, and discharge rate. They are either solar or electric powered

3. By power output

3.1. Electric motor powered pumps are either electric (AC current), or solar (DC current) water pumps

 

 

3.2. Generator powered water pumps are either diesel or petrol types. These are available as high pressure, high volume, low pressure and low volume

What To Consider When Buying Your Water Pump

1. The head/ pressure rating

This is the vertical pumping distance in meters or bars. The higher it is, the higher the pressure needed, and the more powerful is the engine or motor. Fuel engine (generator) or electric motor power is horse power (Hp), or in Kilowatts (kW) for the latter

2. The flow rate

This is the amount of water pumped evacuated per unit time. It is in litres per minute or per hour. The higher it is, the larger the water pump inlet and outlet size

For agricultural use, PVC or HDPE water pipes are connected to these pumps. The pipes evacuate water to the crops

3. The power rating

The motor or engine size provided in kilowatts (kW) for the former, and in horse power (Hp) for the latter determines the water pump’s efficiency. The larger the flow rate and the discharge, so will the engine or motor be

Electric Water Pump Prices

Electric water pump prices by Grekkon Limited are provided for both surface electric water pumps, and electric submersible water pumps.

Similarities Between surface, and Submersible Electric Water Pumps

• both use alternating (AC) current
• both have electric motors to power the pump
• each either works with single or 3-phase power depending on the motor size
• each has domestic use, and commercial irrigation use models
• both are centrifugal pumps
• both categories have sewage pumps

Differences Between Surface, and Submersible Electric Water Pumps

• surface electric pumps only work outside of water
• submersible electric water pumps only work inside water
• submersible electric pumps are made of stainless steel
• a surface electric pump’s body is made of cast iron
• there are booster pumps as electric surface pumps. There is no such for submersible electric pumps

We install these pumps across E. Africa. In all submersible pumps installations, we provide a floater, and a control box.

In commercial installations, our technical team advices on the right pump to use always.

Submersible Water Pump Prices

Our submersible water pump prices in Kenya are for 2 types of submersible water pumps. Solar water pumps, and electric water pumps. Solar water pumps are powered by sunlight and are ideal for off-grid electricity locations. Electric water pumps are connected to the power grid. Grekkon Limited installs both pump types across east Africa

Similarities Between Solar, and Electric Submersible Pumps

• they both work under water
• each has an electric motor to power it
• they both use an electric current

Difference Between Solar, and Electric Submersible Water Pumps

• solar pumps use direct current (DC), electric pumps use alternating current
• electric pumps motors are further categorised as single or 3 phase. This does not apply to solar pumps
• with an inverter to change current from DC to AC, an electric pump’s motor will run on solar panels
• solar pumps are more expensive for the same specs as electric pumps
• solar pumps will require denser cables for the same specs as electric pumps
• electric pumps are more expensive in the long-term because of power bills. The running cost of a solar pumps is negligible
• some smaller solar pumps can be battery powered directly in the absence of sunlight
