Description
LEO APm37 Peripheral Water Pump (0.5HP, 1″ x 1″ Inlet/Outlet)
Solve low water pressure issues and ensure a consistent, reliable domestic water supply with the LEO APm37 Peripheral Pump. A trusted, high-performance essential in the Afrogulf plumbing catalog, this compact surface pump is specifically designed to transfer clean water without abrasive particles. Utilizing a peripheral (or regenerative) turbine mechanism, the APm37 excels at generating high discharge pressure (high head) relative to its low 0.5 Horsepower energy consumption. This makes it the ideal, cost-effective choice for lifting water to rooftop storage tanks, boosting weak shower pressure, or driving garden irrigation systems.
The outstanding reliability of the LEO APm37 lies in its premium internal engineering. A common point of failure in cheaper peripheral pumps is the impeller rusting and locking up inside the casing after periods of inactivity. The LEO APm37 completely solves this by pairing a heavy-duty, anti-rust treated cast iron pump body with a solid brass impeller, ensuring it starts up smoothly every single time. Driven by a highly efficient, thermally protected motor and featuring standard 1-inch plumbing connections, this pump offers contractors and homeowners a durable, plug-and-play solution for everyday water management.
