How to Choose the Right Water Pump
As easy as it may appear, finding and purchasing a good water pump is tricky. You must consider a lot of factors that are crucial when buying water pumps.
Starting with the right supplier, proceed by observing the pressure rating, flow rate, Suction Head, Pressure Head, and size of the pump.
With a wide range of suppliers in the market, it is easier to fall for lower quality pumps that will cost you money. Consider buying top water pump brands from well known suppliers such as Aqua Hub Kenya.
Flow rate, pressure rating, pressure head and size go in hand to determining the volume of water and the work rate of a pump. Look at our Water Pumps Specifications on the table below.
Work rate demonstrates the amount of time and energy a pump can use to move a certain volume of water in a unit time.
Benefits of Using Water Pumps in Kenya
