Pool water circulation systems require dependable hydraulic transfer together with efficient suspended solids handling during continuous filtration operation. The Calpeda MPCM 71 is engineered for these demanding applications using an auto-priming centrifugal hydraulic configuration combined with an integrated basket strainer for clean and slightly dirty water service conditions.
Powered by a single-phase 230V motor, the pump develops flow rates up to 667 L/Min while generating a maximum head of 15.9 m from the first operating point after zero flow. Its 2.5 kW input power configuration supports residential and commercial pool circulation systems requiring stable hydraulic pressure together with continuous high-volume recirculation performance.
The hydraulic assembly incorporates a Noryl impeller together with an integrated strainer chamber designed to assist in separating suspended particles before liquid enters the hydraulic section. Its auto-priming arrangement supports dependable suction recovery capability during intermittent operating cycles while maintaining balanced hydraulic circulation performance throughout prolonged filtration duty.
Constructed using technopolymer hydraulic components, the pump offers resistance against corrosion and sand erosion in chemically treated aquatic environments. The stainless steel diffuser assembly, Carbon/Ceramic/FPM mechanical seal, Class F insulation system, and IPX4 motor protection contribute to dependable long-term operational reliability.
