Supplying pressurized water from collection tanks to residential irrigation systems is the core function of this high-head unit. It is primarily utilized for the delivery of treated wastewater to pressure-compensating dripper beds where reliability and consistent flow are required. The compact design allows for easy installation in domestic building services, providing a specialized utility for clear and pre-treated water transfer.
Performance is driven by a 0.55 kW / 240v single-phase motor that pulls a rated current of 3.4 Amps. This system achieves a maximum head of 32 m and sustains a maximum flow rate of 95 L/Min, based on verified hydraulic data. The asynchronous motor supports continuous operation, maintaining thermal stability and operational torque during pressurized supply cycles.
Fluid handling uses a multi-impeller configuration featuring 3 Noryl impellers designed for high-efficiency water movement. A specialized elevated intake, positioned 88mm from the base, protects the hydraulic assembly by avoiding the suction of sludge or bottom sediments. This design incorporates a slotted stainless steel strainer that inhibits algal blockage, ensuring consistent volumetric transfer.
Mechanical construction consists of a glass-filled Nylon hydraulic body and a 410-grade stainless steel motor shaft. Internal protection is provided by dual mechanical seals housed in an oil bath, featuring Carbon/Ceramic on the pump side and Silicon Carbide/Ceramic on the motor side. The unit is rated for IP68 protection and includes a 10m H07RN-F power lead and an automatic flexible float switch for hands-free oversight.
