Marine Application Sea Water Pump.
Mermaid's marine pumps are designed to operate in either salt water or fresh water applications.
Pumps will range from a single unit application pump to multiple unit applications. Ranges are from 250 Gallons per Hour to over 1200 Gallons per Hour.
Each Mermaid unit ranges from a MINIMUM of 250 GPH to a MAXIMUM of 550 GPH.
Mermaid's smallest pump, the March LC-2CP-MD pump is designed for single unit applications @ 285 Gallon per Hour to be used with no more than a one foot vertical lift and no more than 10 feet of overall hose. This pump can be used for units ranging in size from the 5200BTU - 9000BTU system.
Mermaid's second pump, the Teel 1P808 pump is designed for single unit applications @ 400 Gallons per Hour to be used with no more than a five foot vertical lift and no more than 15 feet of overall hose. This pump can be used for all Mermaid units.
Mermaid's third pump, the March LC-3CP-MD pump is the most universal pump offered by Mermaid. This pump is a single unit application pump @ 500 Gallons per Hour to be used with no more than 8 foot vertical lift and 20 feet of overall hose. This pump can be used on all Mermaid units.
Mermaid's fourth pump, the March LC-5CP-MD pump operates at just under 1000 Gallons per Hour and can be used on single unit applications where a very high "lift" is present or a great deal of hose is needed. This pump is also ideal for multiple unit applications.
Keep in mind, each unit needs a MINIMUM of 250 GPH and a MAXIMUM of 550 GPH. Vertical lift and overall hose do play a factor in the GPH at the unit. Every 10ft of hose is equivalent to a one foot vertical lift. Refer to the Pump Lift Charts to aid you in your selection.
