Water pumps

Due to the reports of unstable hydrostatic pressure in Kuala Krai water supply networks, it is advisable to install a pump to supply water to the elevated water tank. Moreover this pump is only allowed to operate when the hydrostatic pressure drops. Therefore an average multistage pump with the more than 25 feet is sufficient for the school. The Regaline Pumps Sdn Bhd has a suitable choose for the requirement.

Below are the details of the pump
