Description
Every high pressure water pump in Kenya by Grekkon Limited is defined by the following specifications;
1. The size of the inlet or outlet; a 3″ water pump is more expensive than a 2″ pressure equivalent. This is because it evacuates more water, so a higher flow rate
2. Flow rate; water pumps of different flow rates have different prices. The one carrying more water per hour will be more expensive. The one with a lower flow rate will be cheaper
3. Horse power (Hp); this is the engine or mortar power. Engine power is in regards to petrol or diesel water pumps which are powered by an engine. This engine ranges from single stroke to four stroke depending on the size. The engine powers the water pump. The mortar refers to electric or solar water pumps. This is for both surface and submersible types
JD high pressure diesel water pumps on display at Grekkon Limited. They are designed for large scale irrigation, or water pumping over steep elevations
4. Head; head is the the maximum vertical height that the water pump will push out water. It is in meters. The higher the head, the higher the pressure rating of hat water pump. High pressure water pumps are those with a head of 40M and above. The higher the head/ pressure rating, the more expensive the water pump is. The lower the head, the lower is the price
5. Power use; a three phase electric water pump is more expensive than a single phase electric water pump. This is because the former is more powerful
6. Fuel type; this applies to the petrol and diesel generator water pumps. Petrol water pumps cost less than diesel water pumps. This is because the latter are more expensive
High Pressure Water Pump
The best high pressure water pump depends on the needs of the user. For instance, a high pressure diesel water pump in Kenya is for irrigation. And a high pressure electric booster pump for domestic undertakings. Understanding this determines the water pump cost, and type.

Generator water pumps carbon emissions
The downside of petrol and diesel water pumps is CO2 emissions, which contribute to global warming, the chief reason for negative climate change being experienced today. To calculate the quantity of CO2 emission from a diesel water pump, multiply the fuel usage in litres by a factor of 2.67. For example; a pump that consumes 100 litres of diesel per month emits 267kgs of CO2 emissions monthly. For a ptrol water pump, multiply by a factor of 2.305. For example; a pump that consumes 100 litres of petrol per month emits 230.5kgs of CO2 emissions monthly.
High Pressure Water Pumps
FAQs
I. What is a high pressure water pump?
It is a water pump characterised by a superior pumping head (height at which that water pump will pump water vertically). Grekkon Limited’s high pressure water pumps have a head starting from 50M. Diesel and petrol powered high pressure water pumps have double impellers to attain a high pumping head
II. Which pump is best for high pressure?
Any that is higher than the target vertical water pumping elevation. The reason it must be higher is to cover for frictional losses along the water pipe(s)
III. Which brand water pump is best?
The brand that meets your specifications in terms of: outlet pipe size, head, flow rate, and horsepower (Hp) for fuel generator engines, or kilowatts (kW) for solar and electric motors
IV. Which is the best water pump for irrigation?
The one that meets the needs of your irrigation system. For example, if your farm has a rain hose irrigation system, it must meet the water needs of this rain hose system, and also provide the right pressure to rotate them
V. What is the cost of a high pressure water pump?
It depends on the
- type (diesel, petrol, electric, solar)
- size. the larger it is, the costlier it is
- specifications: flow rate, inlet and outlet pipe size, pressure rating, and Hp or kW
- the model. different models have different prices
This is illustrated in the tabulations above
VI. What is the use of high pressure water pump?
To evacuate irrigation water over long horizontal distances, or over steep elevations
