Water Source

Borehole Water Treatment

From orange, salty or hard borehole water to soft, potable water at every tap.

Kenyan boreholes vary wildly — some deliver soft, drinkable water; others are salty, hard, high in iron/fluoride or contaminated. Only a water test tells you what train you need.

We test your source water and design a treatment train that matches — no oversized, no undersized.

Common water challenges

  • Hardness (calcium & magnesium)
  • Iron and manganese
  • High TDS / salinity
  • Fluoride above KEBS limits
  • Bacterial contamination

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to test my borehole water?+

Yes — always. We take samples and run a full physico-chemical + bacteriological analysis before designing the system.

How long does a borehole plant last?+

Well-maintained plants run 15+ years. Membranes and media are replaced on schedule.
