Impeller pumps are used for the rapid transfer of liquids, e.g., when pressing fruit, racking off after fermentation, and pumping from one tank or vessel to another. The Okoflow 3000 impeller pump is manufactured by Schneider Pumpen, who have over 70 years' experience manufacturing pumps. The Okoflow 3000 has a maximum capacity of 3000 litres per hour and is our best selling pump.
NB Only flexible, reinforced hose should be used with this pump - our PVC braided hose is ideal (see below); please see the warning about hoses in the Specification below. Due to the construction of the pump body, this pump is not suitable for use with hoses of a greater diameter than 25mm (1"). Please see the TSB impeller pumps, Phoenix 6,000 pumps or Phoenix 12,000 pumps if you intend to use these hoses.
NB Designed to handle liquids up to 40 degree C - impellers to handle higher temperatures (and oils) are available on request.
Can be used with our Remote Control System - single phase version (part codes 93303) - available separately.

Impeller pumps are used for the rapid transfer of liquids, when pressing, raking off and pumping from one tank to another. They are suitable for free-running liquids and liquids with some small solids in suspension. They are not generally suitable for use with filters unless the pump has a precise variable speed control - this pump doesn't have variable speed control.
WARNING/PLEASE BE ADVISED:
This pump body will crack if the hose fittings are attached with too much PTFE tape. It is advised to use a liquid type sealant (e.g., Double Bubble etc).
This pump is not suitable for use with hoses that will add excessive weight to the pump body. Flexible hoses like our clear braided PVC hoses (see below) should only be used, as these are flexible and do not add undue stress to the pump body. Undue stress to the pump body will cause it to crack.
Failure to follow the advise above will invalidate the warranty.
We can fit the hose connections but at additional cost - please call us on 01404 892 100
