The Calpeda P18-MXHLM 203 is a compact stainless steel multistage pressure system designed to provide reliable automatic water supply for domestic, commercial and light industrial applications. Built around the MXHLM 203 horizontal multistage pump, the unit combines high-efficiency performance with an integrated pressure tank and pressure control for smooth, consistent water delivery.
Constructed from chrome-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel (AISI 316L), the pump offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability when handling clean, non-aggressive liquids. The multistage design produces strong pressure with efficient flow, making it ideal for boosting mains pressure, household water supply, irrigation systems and tank transfer duties.
Powered by a 0.45 kW single-phase motor, the MXHLM 203 delivers flow rates up to approximately 80 litres per minute with a maximum head around 33 metres. The 2-pole induction motor operates at about 2800–2900 rpm and is designed for continuous duty, ensuring dependable long-term operation in demanding installations.
The integrated 8-litre pressure tank reduces pump cycling, stabilises system pressure and extends component life while providing quieter operation. Suitable for clean water free from abrasives and aggressive chemicals, the system can handle liquid temperatures from −15°C up to approximately 110°C depending on seal configuration.
With its compact footprint, stainless steel construction and automatic pressure control, the P18-MXHLM 203 offers a dependable solution for boosting water pressure and maintaining consistent supply across a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
