Designed for medium-capacity swimming pool circulation systems, the Calpeda NMPM 32/12A provides self-priming filtration performance together with dependable hydraulic recovery after temporary interruption of suction conditions. The pump is intended for clean or slightly dirty water commonly encountered within pool filtration applications.
Flow handling reaches 250 L/min while maximum discharge head extends to 22.4 m depending on hydraulic resistance across the system. The hydraulic assembly operates through a 230V single-phase motor rated at 1.44 kW input power and running at approximately 2900 rpm.
Water movement through the hydraulic section is maintained by a chrome-plated brass impeller designed specifically for the NMPM 32/12 range. A self-priming centrifugal arrangement supports suction lift operation up to 7 m, while the integrated basket strainer with 3 mm perforations assists retention of suspended debris before entering the impeller chamber.
Mechanical durability is supported through cataphoresis-coated cast iron construction across the casing and lantern bracket assembly. Shaft sealing is controlled through carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces with FPM elastomer support materials, while the motor assembly incorporates capacitor-start operation, internal thermal protection, class F insulation, and IPX4 enclosure protection. The pump supports water temperatures up to 60°C with permissible working pressure up to 6 bar.
