The future of pumping: Introducing the Pedrollo Future Jet
Diana Aoun | September 27, 2023Water pump manufacturer Pedrollo recently introduced its latest innovation — the Future Jet — a self-priming pump that delivers the same pressure as a traditional jet pump while doubling its capacity and slashing energy consumption.
The Future Jet demonstrates superior hydraulic efficiency, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings. With the potential for up to 50% reduction in energy consumption, the Future Jet facilitates cost-effective and eco-friendly pumping solutions.

The innovative design of the Future Jet minimizes turbulence, providing stable and reliable pump operation. In addition, the pump achieves an excellent power-to-flow ratio, thus enhancing its overall efficiency.
Self-priming ejector pumps have been around for over 50 years, and while they offered advantages such as self-priming capabilities and increased pressure through internal recirculation, they fell short in terms of flow rate, consuming twice the time and energy of a standard centrifugal pump.
With the Future Jet, however, these limitations are addressed through an innovative design that eliminates the constraints associated with traditional self-priming pumps, delivering unmatched performance and energy efficiency. The Future Jet can deliver a flow rate up to 120 l/min (32 US gpm) with a maximum head of 58 m (190 ft) and can handle liquid temperatures between -10° C and 40° C (14° F and 104° F).
The Future Jet is suitable for pumping clean water and non-aggressive liquids. With its integral ejector design, self-priming capability and robust construction, it is the ideal choice for various domestic and small-scale water distribution/boosting and irrigation applications.
