Heavy-duty aquatic facilities and bustling water parks mandate immense and reliable water distribution. The Waterco Hydrostar Plus 5.5kW is purpose-built to tackle extreme volume requirements with ease. Constructed from seamless injection moulded thermoplastic and equipped with an upgraded marine seal, it delivers uncompromising defense against chemical corrosion and severe saltwater exposure.
Superior capabilities are engineered for the largest commercial networks. The system outputs approximately 21.9 m Max Head and achieves an extraordinary approximately 1900 L/Min Max Flow. It utilizes a 5.8 kW motor pulling 10.4 A on a stable 415v three-phase power grid. Water is transferred through a massive 150 mm flanged suction port and a 100 mm discharge port. The entire assembly weighs 73 kg.
Fluid trajectory is maximized by an innovative reshaped hydraulic profile. Driven by a hydraulically efficient internal volute, it sustains extreme high-capacity water flow without turbulence. This advanced liquid routing provides unparalleled stability and a substantially quieter operation than traditional industrial steel models.
Operational longevity is backed by a UV stabilised glass filled polypropylene housing. It is driven by a heavy duty commercial motor featuring IP55 weatherproof protection, shielding the electrical components. The propulsion system safely turns a resilient 431 stainless steel shaft through the harshest environments.
Features:
- Specialized marine grade mechanical seal prevents internal fluid leakage during relentless pressure.
- Robust 431 grade stainless steel motor shaft delivers superior rotational stability against saltwater.
- Clear polycarbonate strainer lid enables an instant view of the internal basket without deactivation.
- Massive 16 L polypropylene strainer basket captures substantial organic debris, prolonging maintenance.
- Heavy duty lid lock ring equipped with ergonomic handles ensures fast and hassle-free internal access.
- Enclosed glass filled Noryl impeller guarantees enduring structural reliability under immense load.
- Integrated flanged connection ports guarantee completely secure plumbing integration across the facility.
