INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
Integrated Pump and Tank Solutions help improve water pressure and flow when the mains supply does not meet demand. They combine water storage and pressure boosting in one practical system.
Our team starts by understanding your site, water use and pressure needs. Then, we recommend a solution that suits your application. Pedrollo Distribution supplies both standard and tailored boosting systems. In addition, we can support domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial projects.
These systems help improve weak mains pressure and support steady water flow. As a result, they can make daily water use more reliable across your site. We have a large warehouse with a wide range of products in stock. Therefore, many off-the-shelf solutions are available without long lead times.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
There are many reasons for experiencing low water pressure problems including high demand, location and shared supply. The POWERTANK range is a self-contained cold water booster set specifically designed for use in domestic, commercial, agricultural & industrial applications where existing water pressure and flow is insufficient to meet demand. The range caters for multiple space and storage capacity requirements.
To increase water flow there must first be more water. If your mains supply is not meeting your requirements, then you need a break tank to store your own water supply ready for when you need it. This can then be pumped to your outlets on demand giving you a plentiful supply of water at the right pressure.
Water Authority bylaws prevent a pump being directly connected to the mains supply, so when your mains water pressure needs a boost, a break tank must be incorporated into the system. There is an exemption for pumps ‘up to’ 12 ltr/min but this is not guaranteed and relies on your mains being capable of delivering this volume. To put this into context, a single shower typically requires between 9-15 ltr/min.
The fixed speed version has an automatic pump controller which provides the full performance of the pump on demand. The variable speed version has an intelligent pump controller that will supply a smooth flow of water to every outlet by maintaining constant pressure throughout your property, speeding up and slowing down the pump to suit demand. This ensures efficient operation of the pump leading to reduced energy usage and a smoother user experience.
The POWERTANK range is scalable and additional capacity can be added for large properties or those with particularly poor incoming flow rates. We have designed the range to fit in all domestic and commercial properties (incoming flow rate and required usage must be taken into consideration). If you have a weak incoming water supply yet a high demand for water, you also have the option to link an additional ‘assist’ tank to ensure you have enough stored water to meet demand.
The controller will turn off the pump if there is no water in the tank. It will automatically reset after a short delay allowing the water volume in the tank to recover. This pump protection feature ensures a long and happy life for the pump.
All pumps create noise, but by incorporating an ultra-quiet running submersible pump within a tank unit, the POWERTANK range is about as quiet as you can get. Typical dB of < 65dB(A)
