Sali QB60 0.5HP Peripheral Water Pump – Booster Pump for Home & Garden in Nairobi
A compact, heavy-duty electric water pump for boosting household water pressure, filling overhead tanks, garden irrigation and washing – built with a brass impeller and a pure copper-wound motor.
Model QB60Product Overview
The Sali QB60 water pump is one of the most popular 0.5HP booster pumps in Kenya for homes, apartments, small farms and car wash points. It is a peripheral (vortex) clean water pump that delivers strong pressure from a small, quiet unit.
Whether your shower runs weak, your upper floor gets little water, or you need to push water from a ground tank to a roof tank, the Sali QB60 gives you steady, reliable pressure. Its single-phase motor runs on normal household power, so no special wiring is needed. The cast pump body, brass impeller and copper-wound motor are built for long hours of continuous work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Sali QB60 boost water pressure in my house?
Yes. It is a booster pump designed to raise pressure for showers, taps and upper floors when fed from a tank or mains supply.
Can I run the pump without water?
No. The pump body must be filled with water before starting. Running dry damages the mechanical seal and impeller.
Can it pump borehole or dam water with sand?
No. It is a clean water pump. Sand and debris wear out the impeller quickly. For deep boreholes, a submersible pump is the right choice.
Does it need a special electrical connection?
No. It runs on normal single-phase household power. Make sure the socket is earthed and protected by a suitable breaker.
Can I use it with a pressure tank?
Yes. Pairing it with a pressure tank or automatic controller lets the pump start and stop on its own as taps open and close.
