Design and Performance
The FL Water Demand Pump is a quiet running, compact, automatic diaphragm pump that delivers up to 17 litres/minute flow at 3.0 bar pressure. The pump will switch on and off when a valve, tap or hose attachment is either closed or opened.
The pumps are diaphragm pumps and thus do not require priming. They can run dry without damage. The pump can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The maximum suction lift is 2m and they are able to handle fluids that are up to 54 degrees centigrade. Each model includes a pre-filter as a back up safety device to prevent solid particles from entering the pump and damaging the diaphragm.
The motors have a 90% duty cycle during an operating period of 4.5 hours. Not to be turned off/on for than 15 times in a 60 minute period.
Technical Specifications
Flow Rate: 17 litres per minute – sufficient for high-demand uses such as hoses, showers, or multiple taps at once.
Pressure: 3.0 bar maximum (approx 43 psi) shut-off pressure. The built-in pressure switch will turn the pump off at around this pressure.
Outlet/Inlet Size: 13 mm diameter ports. Comes with 13 mm (1/2″) hose barb connectors and a 1/2″ BSP threaded male fitting for standard garden hose attachments.
Priming/Suction Lift: Self-priming up to 2 m vertical lift. You can place the pump up to 2 m above the water source level. For best results, keep it as close to the source as possible
Dimensions & Weight: Approx 75 mm × 280 mm (diameter × length). Weight around 2.5 kg dry. It’s compact enough for mobile use in caravans, vans & boats.
Water type: This pump is intended for clean (particle-free) water. If using pond, river, or rainwater, ensure the intake filter is attached and consider an additional pre-filter or sediment filter to prevent clogging. Avoid pumping muddy water, thick liquids, or fluids with large debris which could damage the diaphragm.
