MCI 5-3 – multistage, self-priming centrifugal pump, 230 V
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 of up to 70°C, while the compact, horizontal design facilitates installation in systems with limited space.
Who it is for
-
Households – the MCI 5 pump is suitable for drawing and pumping raw water before treatment, watering gardens, and increasing pressure in domestic water systems.
-
Installers – the compact design and 1¼x1" connections make installation easier in small technical rooms and pressure booster systems.
-
Small commercial facilities – the pump is suitable for pressure washers, laundries, and pressure-boosting systems in public buildings.
-
Agriculture and horticulture – the high capacity facilitates the operation of extensive irrigation and sprinkler systems.
Applications
IPRO MCI 5 pumps are designed to supply raw-water intake and pumping systems in households before water treatment, including sprinkler operation and rainwater use. They are also suitable for public facilities, where they can increase pressure in water-pumping systems and be used in treatment systems. In smaller industrial applications, the pump is suitable for pressure washers, air-conditioning systems, and pumping moderately viscous, mildly aggressive liquids. The pump is not a water-treatment device – if the water is to be used for drinking purposes, it must be properly treated and its quality monitored.
In agriculture, MCI 5 pumps are used for irrigation and for pumping and dosing fertilizers. The high capacity enables them to operate extensive sprinkler systems while maintaining high head. The MCI 5 industrial pump operates in a single-phase system powered by 1~230 V.
MCI 5 features – description and technical data
The hydraulics of the MCI 5 pumps – the body, shaft, and connections – are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance regardless of the operating conditions of the system. The SiC/SiC/EPDM mechanical seal provides greater wear resistance than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, resulting in a longer seal service life when operating with demanding media.
The MCI 5 is equipped with 1¼x1" discharge and suction connections, facilitating compatibility with standard installation fittings and diaphragm tanks.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – MCI 5 multistage pump
What applications is the MCI 5 pump suitable for?
The IPRO MCI 5 pump is suitable for supplying raw-water intake and pumping systems and increasing pressure in households before water treatment, public facilities, smaller industrial systems, and agricultural irrigation and fertilizer-dosing applications.
Why is the SiC/SiC mechanical seal better than typical solutions?
The SiC/SiC seal arrangement, with silicon carbide on both sliding surfaces, offers greater hardness and wear resistance than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, extending the seal’s service life during prolonged pump operation.
Does the MCI 5 pump require additional dry-running protection?
The MCI 5 pump motor has built-in thermal protection; however, additional dry-running protection is recommended in the system, especially when supplied from a tank or a well with a fluctuating water level.
How do I select the MCI pump capacity for my system’s requirements?
The MCI series offers capacities ranging from 50 to 500 l/min, while the MCI 5 variants provide flow rates of up to 130 l/min. You can estimate your installation’s exact water demand using our water demand calculator.
Where can I buy the MCI 5 multistage pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The MCI 5 pump is available from our commercial partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Is the IPRO MCI 5 pump covered by a manufacturer’s warranty?
IPRO – 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
