Fhoton™ SolarPAK Helical Rotor (HR)
The helical rotor pump (sometimes called a progressive cavity or positive displacement pump) generates substantial water pressure at lower flows, providing water even during times of indirect sunlight. Since less energy is required, the Fhoton™ HR SolarPAK utilizes a minimum number of solar panels, making it ideal for applications with flexible water volume requirements.
- Four-inch NEMA standard construction dimensions
- Flex-shaft that allows for minimal radial wear to the motor
- Proprietary software provides increased dry-run and low-flow protection without the need for external devices
- Four-inch Franklin Electric motor
- Built-in check valve
- Pump upthrust washer serves as additional shaft protection from excessive wear in the event of reversed rotation
- Serviceability by pump and motor detaching when needed
- Unique HR Fhoton™ drive algorithm provides increased starting torque levels
