Feature |
Benefit |
| 1 |
Pumping Section |
|
| 1.1 |
Inverted Volute Chamber & Impeller with Side Suction

Vortex Pumping |
Ability to pump grit, fibers, and small stones, without jamming |
| 1.3 |
Inverted Impeller & Volute, are made of SG42 Cast Iron |
Allows for flood feed through the sides, no suction required and hard wearing |
| 1.4 |
Detachable Impeller cover with “0” ring seal |
Three 17mm bolts remove “O” ring cover gaining quick access to the impeller for cleaning. |
| 1.5 |
Optional High Volume non-return valve |
Helps to keep dirt out of the pump when it stops pumping. |
| 1.6 |
Ability to lift the pump out of the water while running. |

| 2 |
Motor Section |
|
| 2.1 |
Environmentally Friendly Lubrication-free motor.
|
Motor can be run continuously without oil, eliminating environmental oil pollution, and has an extended motor life. |
| 2.2 |
Stainless steel Cylinder and hardened & Rust-free motor parts |
Rust-free and highly wear-resistant. |
| 2.3 |
An Inverted Impeller allows no high-pressure water on the spindle seals. |
Spindle seals control low exhaust air pressure in the motor housing from entering the pump volute. There is no high-pressure water being controlled. |
| 2.4 |
Ability to run continuously out of the water. |
Motor housing seal is cooled by air passing through the motor into the exhaust. |
| 2.5 |
SG42 Cast iron Body |
Very tough and durable |
| 2.6 |
