Our top water pumps for 2026
Which type of water pump do you need?
| Pump type | Where it sits | Use it for | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface (jet / peripheral) | On the ground, beside the well or tank | Wells, ground tanks, boosting to overhead tanks | Lifts water only about 7–8m from the water level; needs priming |
| Deep well (borehole) | Inside the borehole, under water | Boreholes of any depth | Higher cost; needs correct sizing for depth |
| Submersible clean / sewage | Dropped into the water | Emptying tanks, flooding, soakaways | Not for pushing water up to a tall tank |
| Petrol / diesel | On the ground, portable | Farms, sites, places without power | Fuel cost and engine servicing |
Not sure which type you have, or need? See different types of water pumps and their uses.
What size water pump do you need?
Size depends on two things: how high the water must go (tank height plus building height) and how far it travels through the pipes. This is a rough guide for homes:
| Pump size | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 0.5HP | Bungalow or one-storey building, short pipe run |
| 1HP | Two- to three-storey building: the most common choice for Nigerian homes |
| 1.5–2HP | Taller buildings, longer pipes, several tanks |
| 3HP and above | Deep boreholes, estates, hotels and farms |
For boreholes, the borehole depth and water level matter most. Send us your water source, its depth and your tank height, and we will recommend the right size. More on 1HP models: 1HP water pump prices in Nigeria.
What about Sumo, Capenda and other brands?
You will see many pump brands in Nigerian markets, such as Sumo, Capenda, Frog and Pedrollo. At GZ we stock Ingco and Honda because we can supply them genuine, with warranty and spare parts, at branches in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. If you are comparing prices with a market brand, check three things: the motor rating (watts, not just "HP"), whether the motor is copper-wound, and whether the seller gives a warranty and has spare parts.
How to avoid fake water pumps
- Be careful with prices far below the market. Fake and refurbished motors are common.
- Check the rating plate: watts, voltage and model number should match the brand's specifications.
- Lift it. A copper-wound motor is noticeably heavier than an aluminium one.
- Ask for a receipt and warranty from an authorised dealer.
Keep your pump running longer
- Never run a pump without water. It burns the seal and motor.
- Use a voltage stabilizer where NEPA supply is unstable.
- Clean the strainer monthly and check the foot valve every few months.
- Keep the pump shaded and ventilated, not locked in a hot box.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best water pump for home use in Nigeria?
For a well or ground tank, a 1HP self-priming surface pump such as the Ingco JPT07508 suits most homes. For a borehole, use a submersible deep well pump sized to the borehole depth.
How much is a pumping machine in Nigeria?
Prices depend on type and size, and change often with the exchange rate. Call 0905 579 3556 or WhatsApp 0818 106 9339 for today's price on any pump in the table above.
What is the price of a 1HP pumping machine in Nigeria?
Our 1HP options are the Ingco JPT07508 jet pump for homes and the Ingco SPDS7501 sewage pump for dirty water. Call 0905 579 3556 for today's price.
What is the difference between a submersible and a surface pump?
A surface pump sits on the ground and pulls water up a pipe, so it only works when the water is within about 7–8 metres. A submersible pump sits under the water and pushes it up, so it works in deep boreholes and never needs priming.
Can I use a petrol or diesel pump for irrigation?
Yes. Petrol pumps like the Honda WL20XH suit small farms. Diesel pumps like the Ingco GEP range are better for long hours and large farms.
Do you sell Sumo water pumps?
No. We stock Ingco and Honda pumps, which we supply genuine with warranty and spare parts. Tell us what you would use a Sumo pump for, and we will recommend the matching Ingco model.
Where can I buy an original water pump in Nigeria?
At any GZ Industrial Supplies branch: Ikeja, Ogba, Lekki, Mangoro and Apapa in Lagos, Abuja (Utako and Kubwa), Port Harcourt and Calabar. We also deliver nationwide.
