The Calpeda MPM 203 close-coupled multi-stage submersible pump is designed for clean water applications. This single-phase model is designed for draining flooded rooms or tanks, water extraction from ponds, flowing streams, or pits for rainwater collection. The pump is suitable for vertical installation in sump and tank drainage setups containing solids up to 2 mm grain size.
Constructed with a pump jacket and motor jacket manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel, the housing surrounds internal components. The multi-stage centrifugal configuration utilizes Noryl technopolymer impellers, with an impeller diameter that is not specified in provided sources, to process clean water. The unit weighs 7.5 kg and operates in liquids up to 35°C.
The 0.37 kW motor operates on a 240v single-phase supply with a rated current of 3.5 Amps. The pump achieves a maximum total head of 27.5 m and a maximum flow of 83 L/Min through a 32 mm vertical discharge connection.
Thermal protection is provided by Class F winding insulation with an IP X8 enclosure rating for continuous immersion. The pump allows operational submergence depths up to 5 meters. Double mechanical shaft seals with an intermediate oil chamber provide fluid containment, and the built-in capacitor is accessible with the integrated float switch.
