industrial water distribution systems, irrigation. Only the self-priming models BG and BGM GARDEN can be used in
water with a with moderate gas (air) content.
CEA..V, CEA..N, CA..V, CA..N, CO, CO..K, HMS: special versions for handling moderately chemically aggressive
liquids or particular mixtures. Only model CO can be used with a moderate presence of solid bodies in the liquid *.
2 Working limits
• Max. operating pressure 800 kPa (8 bar)
• Liquid temperature: see table 1.
• Max. ambient temperature: 40°C
• Max. number of starts per hour: 40
• Max. free passage for suspended solids: 11 mm (CO 350...), 20 mm (CO 500...) *
Please contact our Sales and Service Department if:
- you must pump liquids with a density and/or viscosity value exceeding that of water (such as water and glycol
mixture) as it may be necessary to install a more powerful motor
- you must pump chemically treated water (softened, deionized, demineralized, ...)
and for any situation other than the ones described, related to the nature of the liquid and/or the installation.
Unless otherwise specified, for products with a mark of approval, the approval refers exclusively to the electric pump.
