Shallow well extraction and pressure-assisted clean water transfer systems can utilize the Calpeda NG 5/18 self-priming jet pump for dependable operation across residential and light utility installations. The integrated ejector arrangement supports stable suction performance for garden irrigation supply, washing systems, and network pressure support applications requiring reliable priming capability.
Hydraulic capability reaches 48.5 m maximum head with flow rates extending to 6 m³/h, supporting balanced pressure delivery for medium-demand water circulation systems. The pump operates through a three-phase 400V induction motor rated at 1.1 kW with operating current of 2.7 A while maintaining approximately 2900 rpm operating speed for continuous-duty service.
Flow transfer is controlled through a brass impeller arrangement supporting stable clean water movement and efficient jet-assisted hydraulic circulation. Noryl diffuser and nozzle components assist controlled liquid acceleration while supporting operation with clean liquids and slightly dirty surface water under varying demand conditions.
Cast iron construction across the pump casing, casing cover, and diffuser plate provides structural rigidity during prolonged operation. Mechanical sealing incorporates carbon ceramic seal faces with NBR elastomer support elements, while the motor assembly integrates class F insulation and IP54 environmental protection. Maximum liquid temperature reaches 40°C with permissible working pressure capability up to 10 bar.
