Why the Company Matters as Much as the Machine
A treatment system runs every day for years. Filters, membranes and resin need servicing, and settings must match your water. A good supplier designs for your water and keeps it running; a poor one sells a box and disappears.
10 Checks Before You Pay
- Water test first. The design must start from a lab report: how to read a water test.
- Right technology. UF for low-salt water, softener for hardness, RO for salty or fluoride water: RO vs UF.
- Written design. Flow rate (LPH), storage, pre-treatment and expected output quality.
- Itemised quotation. Machine, installation, plumbing, electrical, delivery, VAT.
- Visible references. Installations you can visit or call.
- Local technicians. Who comes when it stops, and how fast?
- Spare parts in stock. Filters, membranes, pumps and controllers.
- Warranty in writing. What is covered and for how long.
- Service plan. Filter and membrane schedule with costs: replacement costs.
- Compliance help. For businesses: guidance on KEBS standards and county requirements.
Red Flags
- Quotes a machine without a water test.
- No physical address or local phone support.
- Asks for full payment with no written scope.
- Promises "pure water from any source" with one small unit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a water treatment company in Kenya?
Pick one that tests your water first, designs in writing, has local technicians and parts, and gives a written warranty.
Do I need a water test before buying a purifier?
Yes. The test decides whether you need UF, a softener, iron removal or RO.
What should a water treatment quotation include?
Equipment, flow rate, pre-treatment, installation, plumbing, electrical, delivery, VAT and warranty.
How often does a water treatment system need servicing?
It depends on use and water; filters are changed more often than membranes. Ask for a written schedule.
Which water treatment machine is best for borehole water?
Usually pre-treatment plus RO, but only a water test confirms it.
