Residential water systems requiring stronger elevation capability and consistent pressure retention can benefit from the Calpeda P18-MXHLM 205 pressure package. The integrated 18L pressure vessel helps maintain smoother operating cycles while supporting domestic water movement through multi-outlet supply lines, elevated storage feeds, and clean water pressure installations.
Hydraulic output reaches a maximum head of 53.5 m with flow handling up to 4.8 m³/h, supporting stable pressure transfer where higher lifting performance is required without excessive flow demand. The single-phase 230V motor develops 1.01 kW maximum input power and operates at rated current of 5.7 A for dependable day-to-day pressure supply operation.
Pressure generation is achieved through a horizontal multistage close-coupled hydraulic design fitted with closed impellers for controlled discharge stability and balanced flow behavior. The pump is intended for clean liquids without abrasive particles and includes threaded inlet and outlet connections to simplify installation into compact domestic and utility water systems.
The hydraulic assembly is manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel to improve resistance against corrosion within clean water applications. Ceramic alumina and carbon mechanical seal faces combined with EPDM elastomers assist long operating life, while insulation class F and IP54 motor protection contribute to reliable continuous-duty operation. Approved liquid temperatures range from -15°C to +110°C.
