MCI 8-20 - multistage, normally priming 230 V centrifugal pump
IPRO MCI pumps are multistage, normally 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 liquid temperatures up to 70°C, while the compact, horizontal design makes installation easier in systems with limited space.
Who it's for
-
Households - the MCI 8 pump is suitable for drawing and pumping raw water before treatment, watering the garden and boosting pressure in domestic water systems.
-
Installers - the compact design and 1½x1½" connections make installation easier in small utility rooms and pump rooms.
-
Small service facilities - the pump is suitable for pressure washers, laundries and pressure-boosting systems in public buildings.
-
Agriculture and horticulture - high capacity makes it easier to operate extensive irrigation and sprinkler systems.
Applications
IPRO MCI 8 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 buildings, 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 drinking, it must be treated appropriately and its quality monitored.
W agriculture, MCI 8 pumps are used for irrigation and for pumping and dosing fertilizers. Their high capacity allows them to serve extensive sprinkler systems while maintaining high head. The MCI 8 industrial pump operates on a single-phase supply at 1~230 V.
MCI 8 features - description and technical data
The hydraulics of the MCI 8 pump - housing, shaft and ports - are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance regardless of the system's operating conditions. The SiC/SiC/EPDM mechanical seal offers greater wear resistance than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, extending the seal's service life when handling demanding fluids.
The MCI 8 is equipped with 1½x1½" discharge and suction connections, making it easy to connect to standard plumbing fittings and diaphragm tanks.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – MCI 8 multistage pump
What applications is the MCI 8 pump suitable for?
The IPRO MCI 8 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 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 8 pump require additional dry-run protection?
The MCI 8 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 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 the MCI 8 models provide flow rates of up to 200 l/min. You can estimate your installation’s exact water demand using our water demand calculator.
Where can I buy the MCI 8 multistage pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The MCI 8 pump is available from our sales partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Is the IPRO MCI 8 pump covered by a manufacturer’s warranty?
IPRO – 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
