Suitable for swimming pool filtration and recirculation systems, the Calpeda NMPM 32/12F combines self-priming operation with compact hydraulic design for stable clean-water circulation. The pump is intended for handling clean or slightly dirty water where suspended debris may be present within the filtration circuit.
Operating performance reaches flow rates up to 250 L/min with maximum head capability extending to 13 m depending on system resistance. The hydraulic section is driven through a 230V single-phase motor rated at 0.78 kW input power while operating at approximately 2900 rpm for continuous filtration service.
A chrome-plated brass impeller is integrated into the hydraulic assembly to maintain smooth water circulation during normal operating conditions. The self-priming arrangement supports suction lift capability up to 7 m, while the built-in basket strainer with 3 mm perforations assists in preventing larger suspended particles from entering the impeller chamber.
Cataphoresis-coated cast iron construction is utilized for the casing and lantern bracket to improve durability in wet service environments. Mechanical sealing is managed through carbon ceramic seal faces with FPM elastomer components, while the motor assembly incorporates capacitor-start operation, integrated thermal protection, class F insulation, and IPX4 enclosure protection. Maximum water temperature is rated up to 60°C with working pressure capability up to 6 bar.
