Water Shortages and Quality Concerns Drive Kenya's Home Purification Market
24, Sep 2026
Kenya Engineer speaks with Joshua Bogonko of iClear Kenya about the changing relationship between Kenyan households, urbanisation and drinking water quality. The interview explores how water challenges vary across different parts of the country, from fluoride and salinity to borehole minerals, sediment and inconsistent municipal supply.
The discussion also looks at changing consumer behaviour, the growing adoption of Reverse Osmosis, engineering challenges associated with Kenyan water conditions and the importance of installation and ongoing maintenance. The conversation highlights a broader shift towards viewing drinking water quality as part of household and workplace wellbeing rather than simply a utility concern. (Kenya Engineer)
