IBO MHI 1500 (1.5 kW, 230 V) pressure booster pump
IBO MHI 1500 is a reliable, multistage, self-priming centrifugal pump designed for pumping 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. Thanks to its built-in Venturi tube, the pump has excellent water suction capability from depths of up to 8 metres, making it the ideal core of domestic and garden pressure-boosting systems.
Who is it for?
- For owners of single-family and multifamily homes seeking an efficient water supply system from their own water source.
- For farmers and allotment gardeners requiring large volumes of water to supply extensive irrigation systems (sprinklers, drip lines).
- For users of water supply systems who need an effective device for increasing and stabilising pressure.
Applications
The MHI 1500 surface pump is an optimal solution for supplying water to domestic and agricultural households. Thanks to its impressive performance, the device is ideal for intensive irrigation processes requiring the simultaneous supply of multiple watering sections.
The device is highly versatile – it can be used independently as a manual water source or serve as the basis for an automatic system. The pump works perfectly with both traditional pressure tanks (diaphragm tanks) and modern PC and SK-type control units, ensuring maintenance-free system operation.
Features
- High performance thanks to the multistage hydraulic design.
- A Venturi tube system enabling effective water suction from depths of up to 8 metres.
- Quiet, refined operation ensuring a high level of everyday comfort.
- Installation flexibility – can be paired with any tank or electronic pressure booster controller.
- Thermal protection built into the motor winding, protecting the drive against overheating.
