MCI 5-3 - 230V multistage, standard-priming centrifugal pump
IPRO MCI pumps are multistage, standard-priming centrifugal pumps with hydraulics made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, designed for applications ranging from household 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 it's for
-
Households - the MCI 5 pump is suitable for drawing and pumping raw water before treatment, watering gardens, and boosting pressure in household water systems.
-
Installers - the compact design and 1¼x1" 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 output makes it easier to operate extensive irrigation systems and sprinklers.
Applications
IPRO MCI 5 pumps are designed to supply systems for drawing and pumping raw water in households before treatment, including operating sprinklers and using rainwater. They are also suitable for public utility facilities, where they boost pressure in water pumping systems and are used 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 drinking or food preparation, it must be properly treated and its quality monitored.
W agriculture, MCI 5 pumps are used for irrigation, as well as for pumping and dosing fertilizers. Their high output allows them to serve extensive sprinkler systems while maintaining high head. The MCI 5 industrial pump operates on a single-phase 1~230 V power supply.
MCI 5 features - description and technical data
The MCI 5 pump hydraulics - casing, shaft, and ports - are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring 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 life when operating with demanding fluids.
The MCI 5 has 1¼x1" discharge and suction connections, making it easy to connect to 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 systems that draw and pump raw water, as well as for increasing water pressure in households before treatment, in public utility facilities, smaller industrial installations, and in agriculture for irrigation and fertilizer dosing.
Why is a SiC/SiC mechanical seal better than typical solutions?
The 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 5 pump require additional dry-run protection?
The MCI 5 pump motor has built-in thermal protection. However, additional dry-run 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 the MCI pump’s flow rate to meet my installation’s needs?
The MCI series offers flow rates from 50 to 500 l/min, while the MCI 5 models provide flow rates of up to 130 l/min. You can estimate your installation’s exact water requirements 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 retail partners, plumbing supply wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Is the IPRO MCI 5 pump covered by the manufacturer’s warranty?
IPRO – 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
