Utility water handling systems operating across residential services, washdown lines, and compact transfer installations require balanced pressure generation without excessive hydraulic loading. The Calpeda P18-MXHLM 403 package integrates an 18L pressure tank with a multistage stainless steel pump to maintain smoother operating cycles and controlled clean water delivery during varying demand conditions.
Maximum head performance reaches 30 m with flow capacity up to 8 m³/h, allowing the system to support utility transfer duties, moderate pressure circulation, and controlled water movement across connected service lines. The single-phase 230V motor develops maximum input power of 0.78 kW while operating at rated current of 4.5 A for dependable day-to-day circulation and supply operation.
Pressure stability is generated through a horizontal multistage close-coupled hydraulic assembly fitted with closed impellers for balanced discharge behavior and improved hydraulic efficiency throughout continuous-duty operation. Designed for clean liquids without abrasive particles or aggressive contaminants, the pump incorporates threaded suction and discharge ports for simplified installation into utility and pressure distribution systems.
Corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel hydraulic components assist long-term reliability within clean water operating environments. Mechanical sealing is achieved through ceramic alumina and carbon seal faces combined with EPDM elastomers, while insulation class F and IP54 motor protection contribute to stable continuous operation. Liquid handling temperatures from -15°C to +110°C support flexible installation conditions.
