PERIPHERAL BOOSTER PUMPS
Peripheral Booster Pumps: High Pressure, Low Flow
A peripheral pump (also known as a regenerative or turbine pump) is a type of centrifugal pump designed to handle clean liquids at relatively low flow rates but high pressures. It has a special impeller with numerous small radial blades that move liquid along a narrow channel around the edge of the pump casing, where energy is repeatedly transferred to the fluid. This design allows the pump to generate higher heads than typical centrifugal pumps of similar size, making it suitable for applications such as boiler feed, pressure boosting, and small-scale water supply systems.
Designed for clean liquid handling, the Max Peripheral Pump (regenerative turbine) is engineered for applications requiring high head pressure at lower flow rates.
How it Works: Uses a specialized impeller with radial blades to transfer energy repeatedly within a narrow channel.
Best For: Boiler feeds, small-scale pressure boosting, and domestic water systems.
Key Advantage: Generates higher pressure than standard centrifugal pumps of a similar size.
CENTRIFUGAL BOOSTER PUMPS
A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device that moves liquids by converting rotational energy from an impeller into kinetic energy and pressure. As the impeller spins, it accelerates the fluid outward through centrifugal force, increasing its velocity and pressure before directing it to the pump outlet. Centrifugal pumps are widely used for water supply, irrigation, and industrial processes due to their simple design, smooth flow, and ability to handle large volumes efficiently.
The workhorse of water transfer. These pumps convert rotational energy into kinetic energy to move large volumes of water efficiently.
Best For: Irrigation, industrial processes, and general water supply.
Key Advantage: Simple, robust design with a smooth, consistent flow.
JET BOOSTER PUMPS
A jet booster pump is a type of pump that combines a centrifugal pump with a jet (ejector) system to increase suction lift and pressure. It uses a jet nozzle and venturi tube to create a vacuum that helps draw water from deep sources, then boosts it to a higher pressure for delivery. Jet booster pumps are commonly used in domestic water supply systems, irrigation, and pressure boosting applications where water needs to be lifted from wells or tanks and delivered at a consistent pressure.
By combining a centrifugal system with a venturi tube jet, these pumps are optimized for increased suction lift.
Best For: Drawing water from deep tanks or wells and delivering it at consistent pressure.
Key Advantage: Excellent suction lift capabilities for domestic and agricultural use.

IPREZ VSD DRIVE BOOSTER PUMP
The iPREZ VSD Booster Pump is a compact, plug-and-play pressure boosting system intended for residential and light commercial applications. It integrates a horizontal multistage pump with a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to maintain constant pressure in the pipeline, adjusting pump speed dynamically based on demand
Key Features:
- Built-in VSD ensures smooth operation and efficient energy use by matching pump speed to actual demand rather than running at full speed all the time.
- Protects against dry‐run, overload, unbalanced voltages, short circuits, etc., enhancing reliability
- Complete stainless steel pump wetted parts in many models for corrosion resistance and durability.
- Digital display for monitoring parameters like pump speed and pressure.
Typical Specifications:
- Power range: ~0.75 kW up to ~2.2 kW.
- Head up to ~60–68 m.
- Flow up to ~16 m³/h in many installations
- Pressure setting range: 1–9 bar.
- Liquid temperature tolerance up to ~70 °C; ambient up to ~40 °C.
Typical Applications:
- Domestic water supply and pressure boosting in homes, villas, small buildings
- Irrigation, garden watering, amenity blocks, small industrial wash-down systems.
Why Choose It:
- Maintains constant pressure, giving better user experience (e.g., steady shower pressure) compared to traditional fixed-speed pumps.
- Energy savings thanks to the VSD: the pump only works as hard as needed, excellent with solar systems
- Protections reduce risks of motor damage or failure due to common issues (dry-run, voltage imbalance).
MINI WASTE PUMP
The Mini Waste Pump is a compact, submersible waste-water pump designed for light duty drainage and sewage removal tasks in residential or small commercial settings. It can handle moderately sized solids.
Key Features:

- Able to pass solid particles up to ~25 mm in diameter (for certain models) and suitable for immersion depths up to about 5 m
- Construction uses rust-free engineering thermoplastic for the casing and components exposed to the pumped liquid.
- Designed for drainage and light sewage applications: hotels, houses, manholes, small commercial buildings.
Typical Applications:
Good for pumping out grey- or black-water with moderate solids content, such as basement sump drainage, pit dewatering, small building sewage lift operations, or storm / drain water removal in domestic/small commercial spaces.

MAX BOREHOLE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
A submersible borehole pump pack is a pre-assembled system designed for extracting groundwater from a borehole (well). It bundles together all the essential components—-the pump, the motor, cables, fittings, safety rope etc.—so the buyer gets a “kit” ready for installation.
What it typically includes
- A submersible multistage pump (wet-end) sized to match the borehole diameter and depth.
- A matching submersible motor (single-phase or three-phase) that the pump mounts onto.
- A control box or starter for safe operation.
- Cable (submersible rated) of suitable length to reach from the surface to the pump depth.
- Safety rope or braided rope for lowering/raising the unit safely.
Baseplate or mounting plate to secure the pump at the bottom of the borehole. - Plumbing fittings/adaptors (compression fittings) for the discharge pipe.
Why it’s useful
- Convenience & installation ready – Because it’s a kit, you don’t have to source each component separately. This helps streamline installation, especially in remote or rural areas.
- Well-matched system – The components are selected to work together (pump head vs borehole depth, motor size, cable length) which reduces risk of mismatches.
- Better reliability – Many kits specify features like stainless steel construction, floating impellers (wear resistance for sand content), built-in non-return valves, etc., which improve durability.
- Cost efficiency – Particularly for domestic, small agricultural, or rural water supply uses, a kit can provide a cost-effective complete solution rather than custom-assembled large industrial systems.
A complete “Ready-to-Install” kit including the wet-end pump, motor, control box, submersible cable, and safety rope.
Reliability: Features floating impellers for sand resistance and stainless steel construction.
Application: Ideal for rural water supply and domestic boreholes.
SOLAR PUMPS
A solar submersible borehole pump pack is a ready-to-install kit designed for extracting water from a borehole (well) using solar energy instead of (or in addition to) grid electricity. It combines a submersible pump + motor unit with a solar-power compatible drive/control system. These packs are especially suited for off-grid, remote, agricultural or rural water supply sites.
What it includes
- The submersible borehole pump + motor (designed for submersion deep in the borehole).
- A dedicated controller / solar-pump drive that adapts DC/solar panel input to the pump motor.
- Specification for required Solar panels, the kit excludes panels but provide hookup points.
- Accessories: level sensor/probe for well and tank, dry-run protection, cable join kits.
- The pack excludes solar panels, borehole pipework, fittings, suction/discharge plumbing and submersible electric.
Why it’s useful
- You reduce or eliminate dependency on grid power—especially valuable where electricity is unreliable or unavailable.
- Solar is clean, free fuel cost, minimal maintenance when designed well.
- Designed for deep boreholes and remote sites: solar submersible pumps can deliver good heads.
- Good for agricultural, livestock watering, rural domestic water supply, remote sites.
- Designed with protection features (dry-run, variable speed) that improve reliability in variable solar conditions.
The ultimate solution for off-grid or remote locations. These kits adapt DC solar input to power high-efficiency motors.
Off-Grid Ready: Eliminates dependency on an unreliable power grid.
Cost-Efficient: Zero “fuel” costs and minimal maintenance.
Protections: Built-in dry-run protection and variable speed regulation for fluctuating sunlight.
