Commercial pools and dynamic aquatic centres rely on robust fluid management equipment to preserve optimal water quality. The Waterco Hydrostar Plus 1450 3.7kW excels as a primary circulation powerhouse in these rigorous environments. Its massive 17-litre pre-filter assembly vastly extends intervals between essential maintenance stops.
Generating exceptional transfer momentum, this unit achieves a Max Head of 17.9 m and a Max Flow of 1750 L/Min. Utilizing 4.19 kW of input power, it uses 150 mm suction ports. It operates exclusively on a 400 V three-phase supply, guaranteeing unyielding industrial capability.
Advanced hydraulic design within the volute is meticulously engineered to minimize turbulent pathways. Driven by a four-pole motor at lower revolutions, the system establishes highly stable suction dynamics. This directly dampens acoustic output, keeping operational sound minimal during continuous use.
Manufactured from seamless injection-moulded thermoplastic, the casing eliminates galvanic corrosion risks. Electrical safety is reinforced by an IP55 rating, protecting the motor from moisture. A reinforced Noryl impeller and standard seal provide lasting integrity.
