Forum » Power and consumption

Hello, Around here we get 110v power at 50 Hz. What sort of power draw/wattage will I get from a Koralia powerhead? Thinking of getting the 1,2 or 3, and power consumption is a major issue. May go for a couple of 1's in stead of a single 2 or 3. A

Hello, our Koralia circulation pumps draw very little power: Koralia 1 400gph and 4W Koralia 2 600gph and 9W Koralia 3 850ghp and 10W Hope this information helps you chose the pump better suited for your needs!

Thanks, but not really the answer i was looking for.... When i read the consumption specs on the website i see that 220V @ 50Hz (Europe) gets better efficiency then 115V @ 60Hz (Americas) What should i expect from 115 @ 50Hz ? Is it the voltage or the frequency that effects the efficiency? The power here is also "messy" with frequent small outages that reek havoc on appliances like refrigerators. Some aquarium systems/manufacturers suffer as well. Should i expect a reduced lifespan for my Koralia pump? Is such a thing covered under the warrantee? A

Could you be so kind to inform us about the country involved in the strange 115V/50Hz and also, the maximum and the minimum voltage that the power supplier give you?

Sure- I'm in Jamaica. Can't tell you the details of chronic power fluctuation but that fridges don't tend to last more then a couple of years. In the rainy-season/summer it's not uncommon for power to go on and off a dozen times over an afternoon. It's actually a whole lot better then it was even 5 years ago, but it's still not great, so I'm curious as to how these pumps will fare. A

We are sorry to inform you that our AC pumps don't work with 110-115V/50Hz current and our American production in 60Hz is not suitable for your country. The sichronous motor is normally very sensitive and we design special motor for any different market. Unfortunately we don't produce the 115/50 that you need.
