Engineered for the aquaculture industry, this pump provides efficient water circulation for seawater and freshwater aquarium applications. It is designed to deliver high efficiency and low maintenance for professional aquatic environments where reliability is a priority. The unit is continuously rated for stable operation in diverse aquaculture facilities.
Hydraulic performance includes a maximum flow rate of approximately 370 L/Min and a maximum head of approximately 22.5 m. The 1 kW output power (P2) motor operates on a 240v single-phase supply and draws a full load current of 6.0 Amps. This profile supports the circulation requirements of medium-scale aquaculture tanks.
Hydraulic efficiency is achieved through the use of an impeller made with Noryl® to stand tough against harsh chemicals. A salt water mechanical seal is utilized to protect the motor from corrosive liquid ingress and leaks. The design incorporates a low-friction Teflon wear ring to maintain hydraulic performance.
The pump body is manufactured from Pentair's exclusive Dura-Glas™ composite for superior chemical and corrosion resistance. Structural durability is provided by a shaft and seal constructed with 316 stainless steel, while the motor housing is protected by a triple epoxy coating. Maintenance is made easy with 50mm barrel unions and a quick-release clamp that detaches the motor assembly from the casing.
