The PEDROLLO PKS range of self-priming peripheral impeller booster pumps is designed to provide robust and economical solutions for domestic water supply applications where there is insufficient mains water pressure available. These pumps come with features such as an internal check valve on the suction inlet to aid in priming and are particularly suitable for pumping from in-ground tank installations, especially when combined with a 'Presscontrol' automatic control unit. Here are some applications where the PEDROLLO PKS pumps are commonly used:
1. Domestic Water Supply: The PKS pumps are primarily used for domestic water supply in situations where the mains water pressure is insufficient. They can be installed in houses, apartments, or small complexes to ensure a reliable and adequate water supply for various tasks such as showering, washing dishes, or running multiple faucets simultaneously.
2. In-Ground Tank Installations: These pumps are well-suited for pumping water from in-ground tank installations. They can efficiently draw water from underground storage tanks and deliver it to the desired points of use, providing consistent water pressure and flow.
3. Pressurized Water Systems: When paired with a 'Presscontrol' automatic control unit, the PKS pumps are suitable for creating pressurized water systems. The combination of the pump and control unit ensures that water is delivered at a constant pressure, allowing for a comfortable and consistent water supply throughout the building.
4. Rainwater Harvesting Systems: The PKS pumps can be utilized in rainwater harvesting systems to boost water pressure for various non-potable water applications. They help distribute collected rainwater to toilets, washing machines, outdoor taps, or other uses where consistent pressure is required.
5. Irrigation Systems: These pumps can be employed in small-scale irrigation systems for gardens, lawns, or small agricultural fields. By providing sufficient water pressure, they support effective and efficient watering of plants through sprinklers, drip irrigation systems, or hoses.
6. Booster Systems: The PKS pumps are commonly used in booster systems where there is a need to increase water pressure for specific applications. They can boost the water pressure for showers, baths, or other areas where a higher pressure is desired.
7. Rural Water Supply: In rural areas with limited access to reliable mains water supply, the PKS pumps can be used to draw water from wells, boreholes, or other water sources and provide a consistent water supply for domestic use.
8. Construction Sites: These self-priming pumps can be employed at construction sites for various water-related tasks, such as dewatering excavations or transferring water from one location to another. They are capable of priming themselves and can handle demanding conditions on construction sites.
The PEDROLLO PKS range of self-priming peripheral impeller booster pumps is well-suited for domestic supply applications where there is insufficient mains water pressure available. Their robust construction, economical operation, and ability to self-prime make them versatile for a range of water transfer needs.
MOTOR
Pumps are close coupled to a TEFC brushless induction motor designed for continuous operation. A thermal relay is provided in the windings to protect against electrical and mechanical overload and the pump can be connected directly to the mains power supply through a 10amp fuse or MCB.
