Water circulation in aquaculture and aquarium environments is the primary service duty for this unit. It is engineered specifically for the aquaculture industry, providing consistent performance for seawater and freshwater applications. The design focuses on high efficiency and reliability for continuous rated operation in professional aquatic facilities.
Hydraulic performance includes a maximum flow rate of approximately 280 L/Min and a maximum head of approximately 21 m. Operating on a 240v single-phase supply, the motor provides 0.69 kW of output power (P2) and draws a full load current of 4.1 Amps. These specifications establish the circulation capacity required for aquaculture and aquarium circulation.
The internal assembly features an impeller made with Noryl® to stand tough against harsh chemicals. A low-friction Teflon wear ring is utilized to maintain precise internal clearances and consistent hydraulic performance. Sealing is managed by a dedicated salt water mechanical seal that reduces the risk of seal failure and leaks in saline environments.
Construction utilizes Pentair's exclusive Dura-Glas™ composite for the pump body to ensure robust corrosion protection. The shaft and seal are constructed with 316 stainless steel for structural integrity in seawater applications, while the motor features a triple epoxy coating for external protection. Installation is facilitated by 50mm barrel unions, and maintenance is made easy by a Quick-Lock™ trap lid and a quick-release clamp.
