High-volume water management for aquaculture and aquariums is the specialized role of this high-performance pump. It is engineered to meet the needs of large-scale aquatic facilities, providing reliable circulation for seawater and freshwater applications. The unit is designed for high efficiency and low maintenance during continuous duty cycles.
Hydraulic performance includes a maximum flow rate of approximately 640 L/Min and a maximum head of approximately 23.5 m. The 1.95 kW output power (P2) motor operates on a 240v single-phase supply and draws a full load current of 10.7 Amps. This performance profile provides the volume necessary for significant aquaculture tanks.
The internal assembly features an impeller made with Noryl® to stand tough against harsh chemicals. Sealing is managed by a salt water mechanical seal, while a low-friction Teflon wear ring maintains strict hydraulic tolerances. These components ensure the quiet operation and reliability required for professional aquatic service.
Construction features Pentair's exclusive Dura-Glas™ composite for the pump casing to provide maximum protection against corrosion. The shaft and seal are constructed with 316 stainless steel, ensuring structural integrity in seawater service, while the motor is protected by a triple epoxy coating. Installation is simplified by 50mm barrel unions and a quick-release clamp for easy access to the motor assembly.
