Panasonic Introduces First Low Watt Water Pump in Indonesia in Accordance with National Standardization

Yogyakarta, Indonesia - Clean water is an essential part of everyday life.. However, access to clean water is often hampered in Indonesia due to the lack of decent facilities, be it having enough power supply or having pumps that can retrieve sufficient water without causing power outages. Statistics shows Indonesia has one of the lowest electrification rates (the percentage of Indonesian households connected to the nation's electricity grid) in the region at about 80.4 percent at end-2013). Understanding this, Panasonic launched for the first time a new line up of 75-watt pumps to address energy consumption restrictions.

The official launch of the new water pump was conducted in Yogyakarta, Central Java, as the area is one of the potential markets for the pump. This product uses technology to ensure precision of up to 10 microns by using CNC as well as aluminum materials technology. To give more options for Indonesian people, Panasonic provides two models: manual and automatic pumps.
