Why Test Pumping Is Critical After Borehole Drilling
Test pumping is the final verification stage before a borehole is commissioned. At Kisima Well Drillers, we conduct professional test pumping — priced at Ksh 70,000 — to determine the yield, sustainability, and quality of your water source. This process gives you clarity and confidence before pump installation or water system setup begins.
What Is Test Pumping?
Test pumping is a controlled pumping process done after drilling to evaluate the borehole’s performance. It simulates real-world water use to assess how much water can be drawn continuously without depleting the aquifer or compromising quality.
Why It Matters:
- Confirms Yield: Determines the safe pumping rate (in m³/hour or L/min).
- Protects Investment: Ensures the borehole can meet your water demands over time.
- Guides System Design: Provides data for sizing the right pump and storage systems.
- Compliance: Required by the WRA before borehole registration.
What the Ksh 70,000 Package Covers:
- Step-drawdown test to understand aquifer response at varying pumping rates.
- Constant-rate pumping over 24–48 hours to assess long-term sustainability.
- Recovery monitoring to evaluate how fast the water table rebounds.
- Detailed report including graphs, yield data, drawdown curve, and recommendations.
