Peripheral Rain Barrel Pump 65 m 50 l/min for House & Garden — Pentax PM80A
ADVANCED SELF-PRIMING PERFORMANCE: Features specialized self-priming capabilities (exclusive feature of the 80 A series), ensuring fast, trouble-free water drawing and smooth pumping even when entrained air or gas bubbles are present in the suction line.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY HYDRAULIC OUTPUT: Generates 3 to 7 times greater pressure than conventional centrifugal pumps of similar motor size. Reaches up to an extraordinary 65 meters of head (8 Bar max pressure) and a flow rate of up to 50 L/min (3.0 m³/h) for demanding water boosting tasks.
OPTIMIZED ENERGY SAVINGS: Driven by a powerful 0.74 kW (1 HP) single-phase 230V motor (5.2A) designed for maximum output pressure relative to power consumption. Reduces operational strain, lowers electric bills, and cuts long-term energy costs.
VERSATILE HOUSE & GARDEN APPLICATION: Ideal for automatic home water supply, low-pressure hydrofoil tanks, garden and orchard irrigation systems, and drawing clean water from deep storage reservoirs or tanks.
HEAVY-DUTY ITALIAN ENGINEERING: Built in Italy by PENTAX Industries S.p.A. using premium cast iron casing, corrosion-resistant brass impeller, ceramic-graphite mechanical seal, and AISI 416 stainless steel shaft for decades of quiet, trouble-free performance (IP44, Class F insulation).
RAIN BARREL PUMP: Looking for the best pump for rain barrel watering? The Pentax PM80A 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.
Product information
The Pentax PM 80 A is a premium, high-pressure Italian-made self-priming peripheral electric water pump designed for domestic house, garden, and light industrial applications. Combining robust 1 HP power with built-in self-priming functionality, the PM 80 A reliably draws and moves water without losing prime, even when air or gas bubbles are mixed into the liquid.
Featuring frontal suction and a specialized vortex mechanism, the PM 80 A delivers an exceptional performance-to-power ratio—generating up to 8 bar of pressure (65m max head). It excels at water supply and pressure boosting in combination with low-pressure expansion tanks, orchard and garden irrigation, and transferring clean water from tanks or reservoirs.
Engineered for long-lasting daily performance, the PM 80 A features a rugged cast iron pump body, brass impeller, ceramic-graphite mechanical seal, and stainless steel AISI 416 motor shaft. Driven by an efficient 2-pole 230V single-phase induction motor (5.2A), it is the ultimate smart investment for users seeking strong pressure, self-priming convenience, and Italian engineering excellence.
