Description
Overview
This 0.55 kW peripheral water pump only delivers 50 L/min (3 m³/h) at up to 48 m head and weighs 8.1 kg net, enough to boost a small house or run a garden sprinkler line.
It has no switch, so pair it with your own pressure control. The design suits clean water without sand. Maximum operating pressure is 8 bar. See other power sizes in water pumps and booster pumps.
Key features
- Mid-range output of the peripheral line
- Brass peripheral impeller
- NBR/graphite/ceramic mechanical seal
- Cast-iron body and motor support
- Run weekly to keep the impeller free
Where it works
Use it on garden and orchard irrigation, domestic boosting, or as a washing-system pump at depots and farm workshops in Limpopo and the Free State. For the version with a switch see 0.55 kW peripheral pump kit, or choose the lighter 0.37 kW peripheral pump, pump only.
Installation notes: mount the pump on rubber feet near the water source, with a short airtight suction line and a foot valve and strainer if it lifts water. This model gives 50 L/min (3 m³/h) at 48 m of head, with a maximum working pressure of 8 bar, so do not leave it running against a closed outlet. Run the pump at least once a week, keep sand out of the water, and let a qualified electrician make the electrical connection.

Questions about this product
Does it work for borehole tanks?
It can move water from a tank to a house or garden. It is not a borehole pump. If your water source is deep underground, a submersible pump is the right tool. Many customers pair it with a rainwater or header tank, which is where this size is happiest.
Can I add my own pressure switch?
Yes, that is what the pump-only version is for. Fit the switch on the outlet side and use a pressure tank if you want fewer start-ups. A switch set to start at about 1.5 bar suits most household pipework. Check the pipe class before setting higher.
Is it noisy?
Peripheral pumps are moderately quiet, but a hard mounting on a metal frame can amplify noise. Mount it on rubber feet. Flexible hose on both ports also reduces vibration and makes the pump easier to service later.
What is the delivery fee?
This item ships at 8.7 kg, so it falls in our up to 30 kg delivery band at R550. Our own trucks deliver from Polokwane to all nine provinces in 1 to 3 days. Orders of R20,000 or more (VAT incl.) ship free. Delivery fees are set by total order weight, so adding other items to the order can move it into a heavier band.
