Access to clean, reliable water is a basic necessity—whether you’re running a household, managing a construction site, or irrigating a farm. That’s why having the right water pump is more than just a convenience—it’s a strategic investment in productivity, efficiency, and peace of mind.

At Tool Mania, we supply a wide range of quality water pumps in Kenya, built to serve a variety of needs—from light domestic use to heavy-duty industrial and agricultural applications. But with so many types of pumps on the market, how do you know which one is right for your situation?

This guide breaks it down.

1. Understanding Your Water Pump Needs

Before you choose a pump, ask yourself:
• What is the water source (well, river, tank, borehole, etc.)?
• How far and how high does the water need to be pumped?
• Will it be used continuously or occasionally?
• Is there reliable access to electricity?

The answers to these questions will help determine the type of pump you need.

2. Types of Water Pumps Available at Tool Mania

Electric Water Pumps

Perfect for residential and small commercial settings, electric water pumps are ideal when there’s access to grid power. They’re efficient, compact, and easy to maintain—making them popular for boosting pressure in showers, filling tanks, or general use around the home.

Diesel Water Pumps

For remote areas and heavy-duty tasks like irrigation or draining construction sites, diesel pumps provide high performance and independence from electricity. They’re rugged and built to move large volumes of water fast.

Submersible Pumps

Designed to work while fully submerged, these pumps are great for boreholes, wells, and deep-water applications. Submersible pumps operate quietly and efficiently, making them ideal for water supply in rural homes or deep source extractions.

High Pressure and Peripheral Pumps

These are commonly used to boost water pressure in multistory buildings or to push water over long distances, such as in fire safety systems or garden irrigation.
