CAM
Self-priming Cast Iron Pump
Self-priming centrifugal jet pumps designed for domestic water supply systems, capable of pumping clean water even if mixed with gas or air. These high-performance surface pumps are ideal for small household networks, automatic booster sets connected to autoclave pressure tanks, liquid transfer, and draining or emptying tanks. Thanks to their reliable suction capacity, they are also widely used for residential gardening, lawn irrigation, and maintaining stable water pressure.

PERFORMANCE CHARTS
How to Read a Pump Performance Curve
A pump performance curve shows the relationship between Flow Rate (water volume) and Total Head (pressure). As head increases, flow rate decreases.
Axes and Units Breakdown
Top Axis (Flow Rate): Imperial Gallons per Minute (imp g.p.m.) and US Gallons per Minute (US g.p.m.).
Bottom Axis (Flow Rate): Cubic Meters per Hour (m3/h) and Liters per Minute (l/min).
Left Axis (Total Head): Meters (m). Note: 10 meters of head equals approximately 1 bar of pressure.
Right Axis (Total Head): Feet (ft).
Model Curves (45-50, 65, 80, 90): Individual performance lines for specific pump models in this series.
Head vs. Flow Rate: What is More Important?
Both parameters are equally important and work together:
Total Head: Overcomes elevation height and pipe friction so water reaches your outlets.
Flow Rate: Provides enough water volume to run multiple fixtures at the same time.
💡 Expert Tip for Pump Selection: Find your duty point where required flow rate and total head intersect. Choose a pump model where this point falls near the middle of its curve for maximum efficiency and longer service life.
MODELS AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Pump Type: CAM (or CAM...N) represents the core pump type.
Motor (Phase):
Blank (no letter) = 1-phase (1~)
