| Applications |
The model M3, floating, submersible pump is
specifically designed for low-lift pumping from surface water sources such as ponds,
streams,, lake, dams, and canals. Common uses are livestock watering, stream protection,
water catchment, small-scale irrigation, and pond aeration. |
| Low Power Requirement |
The M3 Pump requires only 75 Watts of DC power
which can be supplied by one solar module. |
| Innovative Design |
A magnetic coupling between the motor and pump
impeller eliminates the need for a rotating shaft seal. This unique feature improves
efficiency and prevents internal leakage. It also provides automatic overload protection
of the motor without fuses or electronics. |
| Simple Installation |
The M3 pump floats in the water, so it does not
require a suction line, foot valve or priming. |
| Simple Maintenance |
The M3 is easily disassembled and repaired in the field. Nor
regular maintenance is required. |
