The Onga 143 is a high-performance composite centrifugal water transfer pump designed for irrigation, pressure boosting, and high-volume water movement applications. Part of the Onga 14 Series, it is ideal for agricultural, horticultural, and domestic use including tank filling, reticulation, and general water transfer.
Constructed with a corrosion-resistant composite pump casing made from glass-filled Noryl, the pump offers excellent durability and resistance to harsh environments. The engineered Hi-Flo polycarbonate impeller design delivers improved efficiency, combining high pressure and high flow performance.
This is a single-stage centrifugal pump delivering a maximum head of 41 metres and capable of flows up to approximately 455 L/Min at low head conditions. The pump is designed to provide a balance of high flow and higher pressure compared to standard transfer pumps, making it suitable for demanding irrigation systems.
Powered by a close-coupled TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motor with inbuilt thermal overload protection, the pump ensures reliable continuous operation. It is suitable for clean water applications with a maximum liquid temperature of 70°C.
