Peripheral Rain Barrel Pump 48,8 m 45 l/min with Brass Impeller — Pentax PM65A
UNIQUE SELF-PRIMING TECHNOLOGY: Features an upgraded, built-in self-priming capability (exclusive feature of the 65 A series), allowing fast, hassle-free water drawing without losing prime, even when air or gas bubbles are entrained in the suction line.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY HYDRAULIC POWER: Equipped with a precision-engineered corrosion-resistant brass impeller that generates 3 to 7 times greater pressure than standard pumps of similar size. Delivers up to 48.8 meters of max head (8 Bar max pressure) for fast, reliable water distribution.
ULTRA-LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION: Powered by an optimized 0.5 kW (0.7 HP) 3-phase 400V motor drawing only 1.7A rated current. Designed to maximize output pressure while minimizing electrical draw—significantly reducing your power bills and overall operating costs.
VERSATILE HOME & GARDEN APPLICATION: Excellent choice for automatic household water supply, low-pressure hydrofoil systems, garden and orchard irrigation, and drawing clean water from storage tanks or reservoirs.
HEAVY-DUTY ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP: Manufactured in Italy by PENTAX Industries S.p.A. with a rugged cast iron body, ceramic-graphite mechanical seal, and AISI 416 stainless steel shaft. Features a simplified single-control-valve design for effortless operation and minimal long-term repair costs (IP44, Class F insulation).
RAIN BARREL PUMP: Looking for the best pump for rain barrel watering? The Pentax PM65A Peripheral is a peripheral rain barrel pump for pumping water from rain barrels, water butts and small tanks, transferring clean water for garden watering, plants and outdoor use.
