Clean water transfer from reservoirs is managed by the Calpeda MXSM 307CG, which includes a float switch for automated domestic and civil supply. It is used for garden irrigation and rainwater harvesting systems with clean cold water at temperatures up to 35°C. The pump supports continuous duty operation in standing installation positions.
Operating on a 240v single-phase supply, this model reaches a maximum head of 72 m and a maximum flow rate of 75 L/min. The 0.90 kW motor draws 6.6 Amps and the pumped liquid dissipates motor heat during operation. This permits safe service even when partially submerged.
The hydraulic section incorporates multiple stainless steel impellers housed within stage casings to move clean liquid through the unit. To safeguard the internal components, an integrated suction strainer at the base prevents the entrance of solids with a diameter bigger than 2 mm. The unit fits narrow wells of at least 140 mm diameter.
Sealing is achieved using a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil-filled chamber housing oil for food machinery and pharmaceutic use. The construction features an AISI 304 stainless steel external jacket and delivery casing. It includes a capacitor incorporated in the float switch, built-in thermal protector, and triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding.
