IBO MHI 1500 (1.5 kW, 230 V) pressure pump
The IBO MHI 1500 is a reliable, multistage, self-priming centrifugal pump designed to pump clean, cold water. Equipped with a powerful 1.5 kW motor, it delivers a very high flow rate of 130 l/min and a head of up to 50 m. Its built-in Venturi tube gives the pump excellent suction capacity from depths of up to 8 meters, making it an ideal centerpiece for domestic and garden pressure systems.
Who it's for
- For owners of single- and multi-family homes looking for an efficient water supply system from their own water source.
- For farmers and allotment gardeners who need large volumes of water to supply extensive irrigation systems (sprinklers, drip lines).
- For users of water supply systems who need an effective device to increase and stabilize pressure.
Applications
The MHI 1500 surface pump is an ideal solution for supplying water to homes and farms. Thanks to its impressive flow rate, it is well suited to intensive irrigation, where multiple watering sections need to be supplied at the same time.
The unit is highly versatile – it can be used on its own as a manual water source or serve as the basis for an automatic system. The pump works perfectly with both traditional diaphragm pressure tanks and modern PC and SK-type controllers, ensuring automatic system operation.
Features
- High performance thanks to the multistage hydraulic design.
- Venturi tube system enables efficient water suction from depths of up to 8 meters.
- Quiet, smooth operation for greater everyday comfort.
- Flexible installation – can be paired with any tank or electronic pressure system controller.
