Flo King BX5000 Filter Systems
Equipment Overview | Filter Pump Industries / Penguin Pump | Process Technology
Flo King offers several pump models, as shown below. The flow rate is given in gph (gallons per hour) and LPH (liters per hour).
These units can be used as filter systems (with cartridges attached) or just as pumps (without filter cartridges). All employ the same principle of
operation and can be used to pump, filter, agitate, and carbon treat.
Selection should be based on a variety of considerations, including: tank size; degree of agitation desired; available space in tank; clearance
above tank; temperature; and chemical composition.
Please call for accesories or special applications.

Hastelloy-276C-alloy-tip shaft that threads onto the impeller is available on special-order basis.
Flow Rate:
- 5000 gallons (19,000 liters) per hour at 60 Hz. A flow-rate reduction of about 18% is typical when operating at 50 Hz.
