Large-scale aquatic environments that utilise separate pre-filtration networks demand uncompromising fluid delivery. The Waterco Hydrostar Plus 1450 7.5kW operates as a primary circulation powerhouse, provided without a strainer. It thrives in seawater facilities where continuous fluid transfer is critical.
Advanced engineering ensures massive liquid volumes pass smoothly, delivering a Max Head of 21.0 m and a Max Flow of 2530 L/Min. Drawing 8.30 kW of power from a 400 V three-phase supply, the 150 mm plumbing setup overcomes extreme resistance in commercial configurations.
Superior hydraulic geometry guarantees that massive liquid volumes pass through the volute with minimal resistance. Paired with a low-speed 1450 RPM four-pole motor, this pump generates an incredibly stable suction profile, practically eliminating fluid turbulence during intensive plant room operation.
Industrial reliability is assured by an injection-moulded glass-reinforced thermoplastic housing, free of vulnerable metallic seams. This model features a standard mechanical seal, an IP55 rated motor enclosure to prevent moisture ingress, and a highly durable Noryl impeller to resist chemical degradation.
Features
- Strainer-less design allows for highly streamlined integration directly into existing industrial filtration arrays
- Seamless one-piece thermoplastic housing completely prevents galvanic corrosion and electrolytic degradation
- Four-pole 1450 RPM electric motor ensures superior acoustic dampening and minimizes mechanical vibration
- Engineered with specialized polymers to resist UV exposure and the harshest commercial aquatic environments
- Heavy-duty flanged suction and discharge ports prevent plumbing stress fractures under intense pressure
- IP55 environmental protection rating guarantees robust electrical safety against moisture and particulates
- Reinforced internal components ensure consistent hydraulic performance across extended commercial duty cycles
