Expansive aquatic facilities utilizing independent debris-management arrays depend on powerful, direct-coupled transfer units. The Waterco Hydrostar Plus 1450 5.5kW excels in these high-demand scenarios. Designed without a pre-filter, it streamlines plumbing architecture and maximizes immediate fluid intake.
Generating extraordinary hydraulic force, this powerhouse achieves a Max Head of 19.3 m and a Max Flow of 2150 L/Min. Powered by 6.14 kW of input energy via a strict 400 V three-phase connection, it utilizes a 150 mm port specification to support complex secondary treatment systems.
The meticulously crafted internal volute lowers frictional drag, encouraging seamless fluid pathways. Utilizing a four-pole electrical motor operating at reduced speeds, the equipment naturally prevents turbulent flow, dramatically cutting down acoustic emissions and maintaining a quieter industrial workspace.
Constructed from glass-reinforced polymer, the housing is entirely immune to the damaging effects of harsh saline solutions. Electrical integrity relies on an IP55-rated enclosure, while the durable Noryl impeller and standard mechanical seal power through continuous operational loads flawlessly.
Features
- Direct-line configuration eliminates unnecessary bulk for streamlined integration into tight plant rooms
- One-piece thermoplastic formulation completely avoids traditional welds that are susceptible to chemical wear
- Operates at a highly efficient 1450 RPM to drastically lower motor running temperatures and component fatigue
- Equipped with heavy-duty flanged connections to securely handle extreme commercial pipeline pressures
- Fully UV stabilised external shell protects the structural integrity of the pump during outdoor installation
- Features an industrial standard mechanical seal utilizing premium carbon and alumina ceramic materials
- Electrical enclosure completely prevents the intrusion of harmful environmental dust and liquid spray
