Ingco Water pump 370W(0.5HP) Max.head:30m

The Ingco 370W (0.5HP) water pump is a popular choice for light-duty domestic and small-scale water transfer needs. Ingco offers various types of 0.5HP pumps, primarily peripheral pumps and submersible pumps, each designed for different applications.

Here’s a breakdown of the common features, specifications, and uses, considering both types:

Key Features and Specifications (for both Peripheral and Submersible 370W/0.5HP models):

• Power Input: 370W (0.5 HP). This power rating is suitable for moving moderate volumes of water over typical distances or heights for household use.
• Voltage: 220-240V~50Hz. Standard for residential power supply in Kenya.
• Motor: Typically features a copper wire motor, which is known for better efficiency, durability, and heat resistance compared to aluminum winding motors.
• Thermal Protection: Many models include thermal overload protection to prevent the motor from overheating and damage during extended use or if there’s a blockage.

1. Ingco 370W (0.5HP) Peripheral Water Pump (e.g., VPM3708, VPZ3708):

• Type: Surface pump (non-submersible).
• Max. Head: Often around 35 meters (approx. 115 feet). This indicates the maximum vertical height the pump can push water.
• Max. Flow Rate: Typically around 35-40 Liters/minute (L/min) or 2.1-2.4 cubic meters/hour (M3/H). This specifies the volume of water the pump can move.
• Max. Suction: Around 8 meters. This is the maximum vertical distance the pump can draw water from a source.
• Pipe Diameter: Commonly 1″x1″ (inlet and outlet).
• Impeller Material: Often brass, for durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Pump Body: Often made from cast iron with a brass insert for improved performance and protection against jamming.
• Cable Length: Varies, but often around 0.3m.
