Comment: Thanks for changing the draft in the light of feedback. However there is only one source and it isn't independent. See WP:SIRS to see the requirements. Most companies will not be able to meet the requirements, the notability hurdle isn't easy to cross. ChrysGalley (talk) 19:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

iClear (trading name of iClear Wellife Service Limited, also styled iClear Kenya or iClear Water) is a water purification company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, that manufactures and services point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) water purification systems for households, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. The company is a subsidiary of a Hong Kong headquartered parent company and entered the Kenyan market in 2022.[1][2]
History
[edit]iClear's Kenyan operations began in 2022 as the first direct operating market for its Hong Kong parent company outside Asia.[1] Kenya was selected "because of the scale of water-quality challenges and its potential as a launchpad for expansion across Africa."[2]
The company's founding rationale grew out of an observation that many Kenyan households were already spending significant money, time, and effort on temporary fixes such as boiling water, buying bottled water, or relying on dispenser deliveries without addressing the underlying quality issues in their source water, particularly fluoride contamination in Rift Valley groundwater and high salinity/total dissolved solids (TDS) in coastal and peri-urban boreholes.[2][3]
Operations
[edit]As of mid-to-late 2026, iClear operates branches in Nairobi and Nakuru, Kenya, and has stated plans to open a third Kenyan branch in Mombasa. [1] The company's Nairobi office is located at Ecobank Towers, 7th Floor, Muindi Mbingu Street, and its Nakuru office at Baraka Plaza, Kenyatta Avenue.[4]
Beyond Kenya, iClear also has a presence in Nigeria, with an office in Lagos.[4]
Technology and products
[edit]iClear's product range includes under sink reverse osmosis systems for households, portable countertop systems, and higher capacity systems intended for offices. Its systems use reverse osmosis alongside pre filtration and post filtration stages.
iClear's product range is built around reverse osmosis technology, a three-stage filtration process:[2]
- A pre-filter ("P/C filter") that removes sediment and larger particles;
- A reverse osmosis membrane, described as the core purification stage, which removes dissolved salts, fluoride, heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses;
- A carbon post-filter ("CTO filter") intended to improve taste and remove residual chlorine odour.
Media coverage
[edit]Nation Media Group's Daily Nation profiled the company in June 2026, interviewing CEO Yanxiong Zhong and marketing lead Joseph Isaac Maina about the company's technology and growth.[2] Kenya Engineer magazine published an interview in June 2026 discussing the company's approach to Kenya's regional water-quality variation and engineering challenges specific to the Kenyan market.[5] Capital FM covered the broader consumer shift toward household purification systems in Nairobi in June 2026, citing iClear as a company driving the trend.[6] The Star reported on the company's growth and planned Mombasa expansion in September 2026, in an interview with Zhong.[1] In September 2026, iClear Kenya was featured on The TechTrends Podcast.[7]
