Pump Supply & Installation

Submersible and hand pumps, supplied and installed to turn a well into a working supply.

About this service

Deep boreholes get a submersible pump, sized from the demand and the well’s yield (from the pumping test, when one is part of the work), with its motor, rising main, control panel and power connection. Shallow community wells get a hand pump. Every installation is commissioned and checked against its design before handover.

Who it is for: Clients ready to turn a completed or rehabilitated well into a working water supply, from a motorized borehole to a community hand pump

Where it fits in the well

The pump set is what makes the well a supply: the control panel at the surface, the rising main and the submersible pump below the pumping level.
