Borehole Pump Installation in Ghana
The pump should be chosen after the borehole has been tested, not before it is drilled. Matching the pump to measured performance protects the borehole and avoids paying for equipment the site cannot support.
What decides the right pump
Pump selection uses the results of the pumping test together with how much water you need, where it must go and how it will be stored and distributed.
- Measured yield from the pumping test
- Water level and depth of the borehole
- Daily demand and peak demand
- Storage tank and distribution layout
- Power supply, including solar options where suitable
Why oversizing causes problems
A pump that draws more than the borehole can supply can run the borehole dry and shorten the life of the equipment. A correctly sized pump works within what the borehole has been shown to deliver.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a pump before the borehole is drilled?
It is better to wait. The pumping test shows what the borehole can supply, and the pump should be selected from that result.
Does Mega Resources install pumps on existing boreholes?
Pump installation is one of our services. For an existing borehole, the current condition and performance are assessed first so the right pump can be recommended.
