Key Facts
Primary Use Cases
Wajir County relies almost exclusively on groundwater systems—including deep boreholes and shallow water pans—to supply its population and livestock. Hydrogeological conditions in Wajir present unique water quality challenges, including high mineral hardness, salinity, and microbial contamination.
Consequently, chemical requirements are focused on borehole disinfection, drinking water potabilization, and water softening. Calcium Hypochlorite 70% (HTH type) is widely used by the local water utility, county water department, and development partners for routine reservoir and pipe chlorination. In addition, institutions operating reverse-osmosis (RO) desalinators require antiscalants and membrane flush chemicals.
Logistics to Wajir are managed through planned weekly consolidated line-haul routes. KIKI'S ensures heavy-duty packaging capable of enduring long-distance transit across northern routes.
Consignments to Wajir Town and Habaswein are dispatched from Nairobi via the Isiolo-Modogashe or Garissa corridors, arriving within 48 to 72 hours. All products include batch-matched COAs and safety documentation.
