Hydram Pump Suppliers
Water uphill without fuel or electricity.
We fabricate and install hydram pumps for farms and homes across East Africa. Call or WhatsApp 0721 712152.
No fuel
Once installed, no diesel and no KPLC bill
Day & night
Runs while the stream is flowing
Long life
Simple machine — mostly valves and pipework
Uphill water
Good sites can lift water a long way to the tank
How it works
The stream does the work.
Water drops through a drive pipe into the hydram. Most of it washes out through the waste valve; a smaller share is pushed uphill to your tank. No engine, no solar panels.
-
1
Intake and fall
You need a stream or spring that flows through the year, and enough drop to the pump.
-
2
The pump cycles
Valves open and shut on their own. That pulse lifts water into the delivery pipe.
-
3
Tank on the hill
Water collects in a tank above the house or shamba, then comes down by gravity.
Why us
We measure the stream before we sell you anything.
A lot of hydrams around here run poorly because nobody checked the fall or the drive pipe. We start on your land, not with a catalogue size.
-
We tell you if it won’t work
Flat land or a borehole usually needs solar or another pump. We’ll say so instead of forcing a hydram.
-
Quote for the whole job
Pump, drive pipe, delivery, fittings, labour. The pipes are often more expensive than the pump itself.
-
We stay until it’s pumping
Install, test to the tank, and show you how to keep the intake clear.

Prices (Kenya)
Rough pump prices — pipes usually cost more.
These are planning figures only. Final cost depends on drive pipe, how far the tank is, and site work.
| Pump size | Typical use | Pump (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5–1″ | Homes, small demand | 12,000 – 25,000 |
| 1.5–2″ | Medium farms | 25,000 – 60,000 |
| 3–4″ | Community / high demand | 60,000 – 150,000 |
Install (pipes, fittings, labour) often adds about KES 20,000 – 100,000+. Long drive pipes and weirs push it higher.
Built where there’s a stream and a hill.
Before we install
How a job usually goes.
We don’t quote a pump size from a phone call alone. Photos and measurements first, then a visit if it looks promising.

Hydram or solar?
Use a hydram if the stream can do it. Solar if it can’t.
| Factor | Hydram | Solar pump |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | Falling stream flow | Sunlight |
| Best site | Hills + year-round flow | Borehole / flat / low fall |
| Night operation | Yes, continuous | Needs battery or tank buffer |
| Running cost | Near zero | Low (panels / controller) |
FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
Do I need electricity or fuel? +
No. A hydram uses the energy in flowing water. Once installed, running cost is near zero — no diesel, no KPLC bill, no solar panels to replace.
How do I know if my stream is good enough? +
You need year-round flow and usable vertical fall (typically at least ~1 m, ideally more). Use our site check above, then send photos and location — we’ll advise if a visit is worth it.
What is the price of a hydram pump in Kenya? +
It depends on pump size, drive pipe length, delivery head, and site access. Cheap unit prices online rarely include a working system. We quote fabrication plus install after we understand your fall and flow — so you know the real cost of water uphill.
Why not just buy the cheapest pump online? +
The pump is often the smallest part of the cost. Wrong drive pipe length, poor intake, or bad sizing is why many local hydrams run poorly. We quote the full system so it actually delivers water.
What happens on a site visit? +
We measure fall and flow, sketch intake and pump placement, and note pipe routes. You get a clear yes/no on hydram fit plus a written quote for the full install — not just the pump unit.
Is hydram better than solar for my farm? +
Hydram wins when you have a flowing stream with fall. Solar wins on flat land or boreholes. We’ll tell you honestly which fits — we don’t push hydram where it won’t work.
How much maintenance does a hydram need? +
Light routine care: keep the intake clear of leaves and silt, check valves periodically, and protect the site from flood debris. No fuel filters, batteries, or panels. We brief you on care at handover.
Which areas do you serve? +
We fabricate and install across Kenya and East Africa. Send your county or country, stream photos, and approximate fall — we’ll say whether a visit or remote quote makes sense.
Next step
Tell us about your site — we’ll reply with a clear next step.
No hard sell. Share what you know and we’ll say whether a hydram makes sense, what to measure next, or if another pump type is better for you.
What happens after you submit
- 1. We read your county, use case, and site notes
- 2. We reply by WhatsApp or phone — usually within 1 business day
- 3. If it looks promising, we schedule a site visit or ask for photos
- 4. You get a written quote before any work starts
- Photos of the stream and proposed tank site help a lot
- Dry-season flow matters more than rainy-season flow
- Serving farms and communities across East Africa
