MCI 3-5 – multistage, self-priming 230V centrifugal pump
IPRO MCI pumps are multistage, self-priming centrifugal pumps with hydraulics made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, designed for applications ranging from domestic installations to continuous operation in smaller industrial systems. The reinforced mechanical seal allows operation with liquids at temperatures up to 70°C, while the compact, horizontal design makes installation easier in space-constrained systems.
Who is it for?
-
Households – the MCI 3 pump is suitable for drawing and pumping raw water before treatment, garden watering, and boosting pressure in a domestic water system.
-
Installers – the compact design and 1x1" connections make installation easier in small utility rooms and pump rooms.
-
Small service facilities – the pump is used in pressure washers, laundries, and pressure-boosting systems in public utility buildings.
-
Agriculture and horticulture – high capacity makes it easier to operate extensive irrigation systems and sprinklers.
Applications
IPRO MCI 3 pumps are designed to supply systems that draw and pump raw water in households before treatment, including sprinkler systems and rainwater use. They are also suitable for public utility facilities, for boosting pressure in water pumping systems and in treatment systems. W smaller industrial applications, the pump is used in pressure washers, air conditioning systems, and for pumping moderately viscous, mildly aggressive liquids. The pump does not treat water - if the water is to be used for consumption, it must be properly treated and its quality monitored.
W agriculture, MCI 3 pumps are used for irrigation and for pumping and dosing fertilizers. Their high capacity makes it possible to serve extensive sprinkler systems while maintaining high head. The MCI 3 industrial pump operates on a single-phase power supply at 1~230 V.
MCI 3 features – description and technical data
The MCI 3 pump hydraulics - housing, shaft, and ports - are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance regardless of the installation’s operating conditions. The SiC/SiC/EPDM mechanical seal offers greater wear resistance than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, resulting in a longer seal service life when handling demanding fluids.
The MCI 3 has 1x1" discharge and suction connections, making it easy to use with standard plumbing fixtures and pressure tanks.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – MCI 3 multistage pump
What applications is the MCI 3 pump suitable for?
The IPRO MCI 3 pump is suitable for supplying raw water intake and pumping systems, and for boosting water pressure in homes before treatment, in public buildings, smaller industrial installations, and in agriculture for irrigation and fertilizer dosing.
Why is a SiC/SiC mechanical seal better than typical solutions?
A SiC/SiC mechanical seal (silicon carbide on both sliding surfaces) is harder and more wear-resistant than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, extending the seal’s service life during prolonged pump operation.
Does the MCI 3 pump require additional dry-running protection?
The MCI 3 pump motor has built-in thermal protection. However, additional dry-running protection is recommended for the installation, especially when drawing water from a tank or a well with a fluctuating water level.
How do I choose an MCI pump with the right flow rate for my installation’s needs?
The MCI series offers flow rates from 50 to 500 l/min, while models in the MCI 3 range provide flow rates of up to 85 l/min. You can estimate your installation’s exact water requirements using our water demand calculator.
Where can I buy the MCI 3 multistage pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The MCI 3 pump is available from our retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Is the IPRO MCI 3 pump covered by the manufacturer’s warranty?
IPRO – 36 months (3 years) of manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
