A borehole without proper equipping is just a hole in the ground. The right pump, pipes, and power system transform it into a reliable, efficient water supply.
Borehole equipping is the stage where a drilled and tested borehole is transformed into a fully operational water supply system. At Kisima Well Drillers, we design each system based on your borehole's test pumping results, ensuring the pump, pipes, and power system work efficiently and safely for decades.
Our installations protect your investment, optimize energy use, and guarantee reliable water delivery for domestic, agricultural, or commercial applications. Every component is selected scientifically — never guesswork.
Data-Driven Selection: We use your borehole's test pumping report to determine sustainable yield, water levels, and pumping head.
Why Professional Equipping Matters
Improper pump selection is one of the leading causes of borehole failure. We get it right.
- Pump Optimization: Sized for your borehole's sustainable yield and depth
- Energy Efficiency: Solar systems custom-designed to minimize cost
- Long-Term Durability: Professional installation ensures decades of service
- System Integration: All components work seamlessly for peak performance
- Quality Assurance: 24-month warranty on all pumps and motors
Pump & Motor Selection
Selecting the correct pump and motor is critical. We use data from your test pumping report to ensure efficiency and durability.
Selection Parameters
- Sustainable Yield: Water extraction rate your borehole can sustain indefinitely
- Static Water Level: Water level at rest before pumping
- Dynamic Water Level: Water level under pumping conditions
- Total Pumping Head: Total vertical distance and pressure requirements
- Daily Water Demand: Typical usage patterns and peak flow rates
- Power Source: Solar, grid electricity, diesel, or hybrid solutions
Submersible Pump Selection Process
We install only high-quality, proven submersible pumps for continuous operation. Each pump is paired with a motor that matches your requirements to maximize efficiency.
24-Month Warranty: All pumps come with full 24-month warranty covering defects and failures.
Column Pipes & Rising Main Installation
Rising main pipes carry water from the pump to ground level or storage tanks. Pipe selection depends on borehole depth, pressure, and flow rate.
PVC Column Pipes
Best For: Domestic and agricultural boreholes
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Smooth internal surface reduces friction
- Lower cost than steel
- Suitable for depths up to 200 meters
Steel Column Pipes
Best For: Deep boreholes and commercial applications
- Superior structural strength
- Handles deep wells (300+ meters)
- Supports high pressures (15+ bars)
- Resists external forces
- Longer lifespan
