Installation & Maintenance Protocol
Step 1: Site Assessment
- Water table mapping (critical in Kasarani’s clay soils)
- KEBS/Water Resource Authority compliance checks
Step 2: Precision Installation
- Laser-aligned couplings preventing vibration damage
- Dedicated DB circuit with earth leakage protection
Step 3: Smart Automation
- Pressure switch calibration (0.5–5 bar range)
- SMS alert systems for power failures/leaks
Step 4: Scheduled Maintenance
- Quarterly servicing: Seal replacements, winding insulation tests
- Borehole camera inspections for silt buildup
Critical FAQs for Nairobi Users
Q: Why did my new pump fail in 6 months?
A: Common causes we fix:
- Undersized cables causing voltage drop (e.g., 2.5mm² wire for 5kW pumps)
- Missing non-return valves leading to hammer pressure surges
- Incorrect phase rotation burning out 415V motors
Q: Can solar power run a 10HP borehole pump?
A: Yes, with our integrated systems:
- 8kW solar array + 48V battery bank
- VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) soft-starting motors
- Day/night automation prioritizing tank filling
Q: How to reduce pump noise in apartments?
A: Our silent-operation package:
- Anti-vibration mounts + acoustic enclosures
- Night-mode pressure reduction
- Remote-mounted control panels
