Managing expansive aquatic centres requires highly reliable water circulation infrastructure. Operating at the core of these demanding filtration networks, the Waterco Hydrostar 200 MK4 IE3 provides continuous fluid transfer. Purpose-built for commercial swimming pools, it successfully handles intensive daily usage and heavy water turnover without faltering.
Operational output is strictly calibrated for commercial environments. The system achieves approximately 21.9 m Max Head and delivers approximately 480 L/Min Max Flow. It operates efficiently with a 1.8 kW power draw and 2.8 A rated current on a stable 415v three-phase electrical supply, utilizing standardized 65 mm inlet and outlet plumbing connections to maintain steady operating capabilities across the network. The complete unit weighs 24 kg.
Internal water dynamics benefit from an advanced, reshaped hydraulic profile. By incorporating a hydraulically efficient internal volute, this system limits friction loss to boost overall volume throughput. This optimization provides significantly higher flow rates while maintaining a substantially quieter operation compared to previous models.
Constructed to endure harsh aquatic chemicals, the main pump body utilizes a UV stabilised glass filled thermoplastic that will not rust or corrode like steel counterparts. It is powered by a heavy duty IP55 weather-proofed motor, ensuring continuous kinetic force for massive water relocation.
Features:
- High-grade alumina ceramic, carbon, and SS316 mechanical seal prevents internal leakage during high-pressure cycles.
- Heavy duty 431 grade stainless steel motor shaft delivers rotational stability and resistance against saltwater.
- Clear polycarbonate inspection lid enables immediate visual assessment of debris without interrupting filtration.
- Massive 6 L moulded polypropylene strainer basket captures substantial organics, prolonging maintenance intervals.
- Ergonomic quarter-turn lid lock ring mechanism facilitates rapid access to the compartment for swift servicing.
- Enclosed glass filled Noryl impeller guarantees enduring structural reliability and consistent thrust under load.
- Integral support mounting base and accessible drain plugs streamline the installation and winterization process.
