Its liquid ring self-priming configuration allows reliable operation even where intermittent air is present within the suction pipe.
Flow performance reaches 0.75 m³/h while head capacity extends up to 20 m, allowing the pump to maintain controlled clean water movement and balanced circulation characteristics across domestic installations. The hydraulic arrangement supports smooth continuous-duty transfer performance for light utility applications.
The assembly operates using a single-phase 240V induction motor delivering 0.15 kW rated output power with operating current of 2 A. Operating speed remains approximately 2900 rpm through a two-pole motor arrangement supporting dependable liquid circulation and compact operating stability.
