Borehole Water Pumps

A water pump is one of the most important components of a borehole system used for pressure pumping the water from the borehole to storage tanks or irrigation systems.
We have two main types of borehole water pumps which are submersible and surface pumps.

Submersible Borehole Pumps

Submersible water pumps are grouped into two types, powered by electricity and powered by solar.

Submersible Electric Pumps

  • These types of borehole pumps work with electricity.
  • Suitable for large scale commercial projects like commercial farming,

Submersible Solar Pumps

  • These types of borehole pumps work with solar-powered energy.
  • Comes with solar panels, a motor pump set, a pump control device, an inverter & battery.
  • Though the initial setup cost of installing a solar water pump tends to be higher than an electrical water pump.
  • Submersible solar pump tends to be cheaper and cost-effective in the long run since no additional costs will be involved, as opposed to electric submersible pumps that spike up your electricity(ZESA) utility bills.
  • Solar water pumps handle well remote areas with limited electricity supply and address well the issues of power outages as long as the sun shines.
  • By so doing, guaranteeing the availability of clean, safe water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use reliably which is not the case with electrically powered borehole pumps.

Surface Borehole Pumps

How does a submersible pump work in boreholes?
These are placed inside your water well.

Submersible water pumps are grouped into two types, powered by electricity and powered by solar.
The cost associated with these two differs with a submersible solar pump being a bit pricey when compared to a submersible electric pump.
