Pool filtration systems requiring dependable self-priming performance can integrate the Calpeda NMPM 32/12D for continuous recirculation of clean or lightly contaminated water. Its hydraulic layout is suited to installations where suction conditions may vary during operation while maintaining reliable circulation recovery after shutdown.
Hydraulic output extends to 250 L/min maximum flow with discharge head reaching 18 m across the operating range. The unit operates through a 230V single-phase induction motor utilizing 1.01 kW input power and maintaining rotational speed near 2900 rpm during filtration service.
Inside the hydraulic section, a chrome-plated brass impeller supports stable water movement while the self-priming configuration enables suction lift capability up to 7 m. The integrated strainer basket incorporates 3 mm perforation openings to help reduce entry of suspended debris into the impeller passage.
The casing and lantern bracket are manufactured from cataphoresis-coated cast iron for improved resistance against wet operating conditions. Carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces combined with FPM elastomer support materials assist shaft sealing reliability, while the motor assembly incorporates capacitor-start operation, built-in thermal overload protection, class F insulation, and IPX4 environmental protection. Water temperatures up to 60°C and working pressures up to 6 bar are supported during service operation.
