Biotech Aquatica is proud to introduce the Waterco Hydrostar Plus 1450 series—high-performance, corrosion-resistant thermoplastic pumps engineered for the rigorous demands of modern aquaculture. Operating at an ultra-efficient 1450rpm with an IE3 Class motor, these pumps deliver exceptional flow rates with remarkably low energy consumption, setting a new standard for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and commercial aquatic facilities.

Key Features & Benefits for Aquaculture:

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The pump's main body is constructed from an injection-moulded, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, which possesses superior mechanical and chemical resistance compared to steel. This makes it ideal for both freshwater and saltwater applications, eliminating a common point of failure.
• Certified Energy Efficiency (IE3 Class): The heavy-duty 4-pole motor is not only VSD compatible but also meets IE3 efficiency standards. This provides certified proof of its low energy consumption, directly lowering your facility's operational costs.
• Engineered for Longevity in Harsh Environments:
  • IP55 Weatherproof Motor: Protects against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliability in wet and humid pump rooms.
  • Durable Internals: Features a glass-filled Noryl impeller and a 431 stainless steel shaft sleeve for long-lasting, corrosion-free performance.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Self-lubricating mechanical seals minimize service requirements.
• Precision Flow Control with VSD/VFD: As 3-phase units, these pumps are fully compatible with Variable Speed Drives (VSD/VFD). This gives you ultimate control to precisely match flow rates to your system's demands—whether for different stocking densities, feeding schedules, or treatment cycles—further optimizing energy use.
• Designed for High-Volume Systems: With a 6” ANSI flanged inlet and 4” JIS flanged outlet, the Hydrostar Plus is built for the high-flow plumbing common in commercial-scale RAS, ensuring efficient water movement.
