The Davey XF171S electric transfer pump is designed for handling clean, non-volatile liquids in applications such as aquaculture, hydroponics, desalinated water systems, washing systems, and mild chemical transfer. It is suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and reliability are important.
This model delivers a maximum flow of 175 L/Min and develops pressure up to approximately 17 m head, making it ideal for moderate head transfer duties where consistent liquid movement is required.
The pump is constructed with a corrosion-resistant glass filled Noryl casing and features a closed vane impeller for efficient hydraulic performance. It is equipped with a silicon carbide mechanical seal, which provides superior durability and makes it suitable for handling mildly aggressive liquids.
It is powered by a 0.53 kW single phase motor operating on 240V supply at 2850 rpm. The TEFC motor with IP55 protection and Class F insulation ensures reliable operation, while built-in thermal overload protection and Thermotection safeguard the pump during adverse operating conditions.
