Water Pump Price in Kenya 2026: Surface, Submersible, Borehole & Booster Pumps

Water pump prices in Kenya on Buy More Mall start at KSh 6,500 for a small submersible and go up to KSh 240,000 for a 3-phase stainless multistage pump. This guide groups the pumps by job, lists every price and explains how to pick one that will not burn out or disappoint.

First, Which Type of Pump Do You Need?

  • Surface (jet) pump: sits above the water and sucks it up. Good for shallow wells, tanks and boosting pressure. It can only lift water about 7 to 9 m by suction (less at high altitude such as Nairobi).
  • Submersible pump: sits in the water and pushes it up. Used for tanks, sumps, drainage, shallow wells and, in slim 3" and 4" versions, boreholes.
  • Borehole pump: a long, thin submersible made to fit the borehole casing (the ones below need at least a 110 mm borehole).
  • Multistage pump: several impellers in series give high pressure. Used for apartments, irrigation, RO plants and boiler feed.
  • Engine (petrol) pump: for farms and sites with no power: irrigation, filling tanks from a river, dewatering.

Rule of thumb: if the water is deeper than about 7 m below the pump, a surface pump will not work. Use a submersible or borehole pump.

Borehole pumps must be matched to the borehole depth, the water level, the height of your tank and the yield of the borehole. Send us the drilling report and we will size it. For water quality problems (salty, hard or fluoride water) see Borehole Water Treatment in Kenya.

Petrol Engine Pump Prices

A 2" pump suits most small farms. A 3" pump moves much more water for flood irrigation or dewatering, but it uses more fuel and needs bigger pipes.

How to Size a Pump: Flow and Head

  1. Flow: how much water you need, in litres per minute or m³/h. Count the taps, showers or sprinklers that run at the same time.
  2. Head: the total height the pump must push the water (from the water level to the highest outlet) plus friction losses in the pipes. Long, thin pipes add a lot of friction.
  3. Power supply: most homes have single phase (240 V). The biggest pumps need 3-phase power.
  4. Water quality: sandy or dirty water needs a pump rated for sand or silt. Hot water needs a pump rated for the temperature.

Always read the pump curve: a pump gives less flow the higher it has to push. A pump that is too small runs all day. One that is far too big wastes power and can run dry.

Protect Your Pump

  • Fit a float switch or a pump controller so the pump stops when the tank is empty (dry running kills pumps).
  • Use a stabiliser or proper motor protection where the power supply is unstable.
  • For household pressure, pair the pump with a controller or pressure tank. See our booster pump and pressure controller guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a water pump in Kenya?

On Buy More Mall, pumps cost from KSh 6,500 for a small submersible to KSh 240,000 for a 3-phase multistage pump. Surface jet pumps start at KSh 24,500.

How much is a borehole pump in Kenya?

4-inch Pedrollo borehole pumps start at KSh 58,500, and the Dayliff DSD3/18 with float switch is KSh 31,000. The right size depends on depth and yield, so send us your drilling report.

Can a surface pump pull water from a deep well?

No. Surface pumps can only lift water about 7 to 9 m by suction, and less at high altitude. For deeper water use a submersible or borehole pump.

Which pump is best for a farm without electricity?

A petrol engine pump such as the Dayliff DC50P (KSh 26,830), or a solar pump system sized for your site.
