Pedrollo water pumps

Who makes Pedrollo

Pedrollo SpA makes electric pumps. Its history page says the company was founded by Silvano Pedrollo in 1974 and marked its 50th anniversary in 2024. The head office is at Via E. Fermi 7, San Bonifacio, in the province of Verona, Italy, and the company names two production sites, San Bonifacio and Monteforte d’Alpone, both in the same province.

Outside Italy, Pedrollo lists its own branches and subsidiaries: France from 1987, Romania and Hungary in the 2000s, Pedrollo Gulf in Dubai from 2006, a Thai investee company from 2007, Mexico and Colombia from 2009, and later Guatemala, Germany, the United States, Poland and Spain with Portugal. The history page names no subsidiary in East Africa.

Pedrollo water pump lines

The Pedrollo US product list shows how the range is organised:

Pedrollo water pump lines

Line	Type	What it is for
PK, PQ, PQA, PV	peripheral impeller pumps	household water at high head (PK data sheet)
FUTURE JET, JCR, JSW, SKR	self-priming jet pumps	shallow wells and tanks below the pump
CP	single-impeller centrifugal pumps	surface pumps for clean water
AL-RED	stainless steel centrifugal pumps	surface pumps with stainless steel parts
4SR	4-inch deep-well submersible pumps	boreholes
TOP	submersible sump pumps	drainage and emptying pits

The last column follows the product names and categories on the Pedrollo sites. For a house supply, the PK data sheet names domestic use; a borehole calls for a submersible from the 4SR line.

The PK peripheral pump in figures

The PK data sheet, published by Pedrollo’s Romanian subsidiary, describes pumps for clean water free of abrasive particles, for domestic use in gardens and orchards, usually together with a small pressure tank. The range limits:

• flow up to 90 l/min (5.4 m³/h) and head up to 100 m;
• suction lift up to 8 m;
• water temperature from −10°C to +60°C, surroundings up to +40°C;
• maximum working pressure 6 bar for the PK 65, 7 bar for the PK 80 and 10 bar from the PK 90 up.

The PK peripheral pump in figures

Model (single-phase)	Power	Head at zero flow
PKm 65	0.55 kW (0.75 hp)	55 m
PKm 80	0.75 kW (1 hp)	70 m
PKm 100	1.1 kW (1.5 hp)	85 m
PKm 200	1.5 kW (2 hp)	90 m
PKm 300	2.2 kW (3 hp)	100 m

Head falls as flow rises, so the zero-flow figures above are the most each model can lift; the data sheet plots the full curve for every model. Pedrollo also notes that the current version runs 20% quieter than before.

Pedrollo pressure pump sets

For a house whose taps lack pressure, or for garden irrigation, Pedrollo sells ready-made boosting units. The EASYPUMP pairs a single-phase pump with an EASYPRESS controller that starts and stops it as water is drawn and protects it against dry running and leaks in the system. Pedrollo gives these limits for the Pedrollo pressure pump set:

• flow up to 130 l/min (7.8 m³/h) and head up to 55 m;
• suction lift up to 7 m with CP-type pumps and up to 9 m with FUTURE JET, JCR and PLURIJET pumps;
• water temperature −10°C to +60°C, or up to +40°C with JCR and FUTURE JET pumps;
• maximum working pressure 6 bar, protection rating IP X4.

On the delivery pipe, a gate valve can shut the pump off for service, and Gardena names its 19 mm textile hose pipe as suited to pumps.

Does Kitovu stock Pedrollo?

No. Kitovu does not stock Pedrollo or any other water pump; it sells a short list of building materials from stock in Zanzibar, shown in the block on this page. For the pipes a pump feeds, see the water pipe page; prices that Tanzanian sellers list for pumps are on the water pump price page.
