Large-scale commercial swimming pools depend on massive liquid relocation mechanisms to guarantee continuous water clarity. Deployed within extensive plumbing runs, the Waterco Hydrostar 400 MK4 IE3 delivers the required hydraulic thrust. It effortlessly prevents pressure degradation across vast aquatic systems without sacrificing efficiency.
Hydraulic power is specifically tailored for massive liquid relocation tasks. The equipment generates approximately 20 m Max Head and an impressive capacity of approximately 1240 L/Min Max Flow. Drawing 3.4 kW of power and 5.8 A from a 415v three-phase connection, the pump ensures high volume throughput via 80 mm plumbing configurations. The robust assembly weighs 41 kg.
Volumetric flow characteristics are actively managed by a finely calibrated, hydraulically efficient internal volute. This refined internal geometry decreases energy loss, enabling exceptionally stable suction capabilities. The reshaped internal profile creates a smooth transit pathway, simultaneously ensuring a substantially quieter operation.
Environmental defense is established by a robust, UV stabilised thermoplastic construction that actively repels aggressive pool sanitizers. The mechanical assembly draws energy from an IP55 shielded weather-proofed motor, safeguarding internal electronics against external atmospheric moisture.
Features:
- High-grade mechanical seal forged from alumina ceramic, carbon, and SS316 eliminates internal fluid leakage under heavy pressure.
- Rugged 431 grade stainless steel motor shaft provides vital resistance to rust, oxidation, and saltwater degradation over time.
- Clear polycarbonate upper lid facilitates instant visual inspection of captured debris, dramatically improving maintenance speed.
- Massive 6 L polypropylene strainer basket retains enormous amounts of organic material to protect downstream filtration gear.
- Convenient quarter-turn lid lock ring utilizes an ergonomic gripping system, allowing technicians to secure the chamber with minimal effort.
- Precision enclosed glass filled Noryl impeller actively supports immense water volumes while maintaining overall component shape.
- Integrated motor support base and dual drain plugs provide enhanced stability and rapid fluid evacuation during servicing.
