Domestic slightly dirty water management requires a dependable submersible solution capable of clearing rainwater and seepage from sumps or underground collection points. This Zenit model is designed to handle lightly soiled liquids in residential environments, ensuring efficient transfer of slightly dirty water through household drainage systems. Its wet installation design allows it to operate continuously in residential drainage applications where reliability is paramount.
Hydraulic capability for this unit includes a maximum flow of up to 330 L/Min and a maximum head of approximately 14 m. The 0.75 kW motor is optimized for 240v single-phase power, providing stable hydraulic performance for rapid evacuation of storage tanks. This balance of power and lift makes it an effective choice for domestic drainage tasks requiring efficient turnover.
The hydraulic design features an open channel impeller, specifically configured to manage slightly dirty water. This configuration facilitates smooth liquid handling and helps prevent blockages from small suspended solids common in residential drainage. The submerged installation assists motor cooling during continuous operation, supporting reliable performance during intensive duty cycles.
Mechanical construction features a rugged cast iron EN-GJL 250 body and a stainless steel shaft for superior durability in corrosive wet environments. It utilizes a dual mechanical seal system involving silicon carbide and alumina graphite for enhanced motor protection against moisture ingress. The unit is rated for liquid temperatures up to 40°C and includes an integrated float switch for automatic, hands-off operation.
