Self-priming System
Internal diffuser eliminates air from piping for uninterrupted continuous operation.
Self-priming Peripheral Pump PKSm80
1 HP bivolt self-priming pump with internal diffuser for high pressure and continuous operation
The Atlantis Self-priming Peripheral Pump PKSm80 is designed for clean water transfer in residential, agricultural, small industry, and small irrigation applications.
It features an internal diffuser that eliminates air from the piping, maintaining continuous and uninterrupted operation — the key differentiator over conventional peripheral pumps.
Its high pressure can lift water to great heights, such as 2-story buildings and elevated water tanks. With a bivolt system, it simplifies installation across different electrical networks.

Installation Guide
Follow the guidelines below as a general reference.
1
Before installation, ensure the pump is properly grounded according to safety standards.
2
Install the pump vertically in a dry, ventilated location protected from rain and splashes. NEVER install horizontally or submerged.
3
Connect 1" suction piping with check valve (foot valve) on the inlet.
4
Fill the pump and suction piping with water before first start (initial priming).
5
Connect to proper bivolt voltage and install compatible breaker plus RCD per electrical code.
Important tips
- CRITICAL: Do not install horizontally or submerge in water. Always vertical, above water level.
- Protect the motor from rain and splashes. Install in covered and ventilated location.
- Never run the pump dry — operating without water damages the impeller and motor immediately.
- Mandatory grounding before connecting to power. Use proper ground wire and RCD-protected breaker.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about specification, installation, and use.
A self-priming pump has an internal diffuser that automatically eliminates air from the piping, maintaining priming even after stops. Unlike conventional pumps (which need manual re-priming whenever they lose water column), the self-priming pump recovers suction on its own, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted operation.
The PKSm80 has 1 HP (1000W) bivolt, with flow up to 3,000 L/h and head of 48m, ideal for larger homes and 2-story buildings. The PKSm60 has 1/2 HP (500W), with flow up to 2,100 L/h and 38m head, ideal for apartments and smaller homes. PKSm60 is sold in separate 127V and 220V versions.
Yes — this is one of the main applications of the PKSm80. It is ideal for low-pressure networks (weak public water supply), increasing pressure so that faucets, showers, and equipment work normally. Its high pressure (up to 48m head) ensures performance even in unfavorable situations.
The PKSm80 must be installed in a dry, covered location protected from rain and splashes. Do NOT install outdoors without cover. The motor has IP44 protection (splash-resistant), but direct rain exposure can cause electrical damage. Always install vertically, NEVER submerged.
The self-priming pump is more convenient because it doesn't need manual re-priming after stops — it eliminates air automatically through the internal diffuser. This is especially useful for well/cistern suction where the water column may fluctuate. In systems with frequent stops, the self-priming pump saves time and avoids supply interruptions.
