The Davey XF171 electric transfer pump is designed for handling clean, non-volatile liquids in applications such as pressure boosting, circulation systems, irrigation, and general transfer duties. It is suitable for installations where consistent flow and reliable performance are required without the presence of solids or fibres.
This model delivers a maximum flow of 160 L/Min and develops pressure up to approximately 16 m head, making it suitable for moderate head transfer and circulation applications.
