The Calpeda META SMALL is an advanced compact stainless steel variable speed pressure boosting system designed to deliver constant water pressure for domestic, irrigation and light commercial applications. Integrating a self-priming multistage pump with an onboard frequency inverter, the unit automatically adjusts motor speed to match demand, ensuring smooth operation, reduced energy consumption and stable pressure at all outlets.
Built as a plug-and-play solution, the META SMALL incorporates a pressure transducer, non-return valve and built-in pressure vessel within a compact housing. This integrated design simplifies installation while protecting the system from pressure fluctuations and water hammer.
Powered by a single-phase 240V motor delivering 0.65 kW rated output power, the pump produces flow rates up to 80 L/min and maximum head up to 55 m. The unit features automatic start and stop functions based on demand, alongside dry-run, overload, and leak protection to ensure dependable long-term service.
