Pumps & Filter Systems
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) or just as pumps
(without filter cartridges). All
employ the same principle of operation and can be used for pumping,
filtering, and agitating. All but the SP12K can also be employed for in-tank
carbon treatment.
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.
 Lab
Series. For
laboratory, prototype and clean production operations in very small tanks or
beakers. Maximum flow rate is 400
gph (1500 LPH), depending on filter elements and attachments selected. Popular for
precious metals plating and a host of applications in the decorative and
electronics fields.
 BX650.
Tank too large for the Lab Series but too small for
the BX1200? The BX650 can be used in tanks as small as 5 gallons to a few hundred gallons (20 to about 1,000
L), depending on tank-turnover and agitation requirements. Pump provides
650 gallons per hour (2400 liters per hour) of flow rate using a motor
rated at 1/15th hp (50-watt).
 BX1200.
Lightweight, high-flow-rate, easy-to-use system is the industry
workhorse. Features a 1/12th-hp (60-watt) motor and requires only a 4-in.-square (10-cm-sq) area of
in-tank space yet provides vigorous agitation and a maximum 1200 gph
(4500 LPH). Remove filter cartridge and insert carbon-containing
attachment to treat for organics.
 BXL2500.
Low-profile
unit provides a maximum flow rate of 2500 gph (9500 LPH). Inverted motor
arrangement stands just 2" (5
cm) above tank--ideal where overhead clearance is a concern. As with other larger
models, impeller housing swivels 360 degrees to enable preferred positioning of pump body and filter cartridges in
tank.
 BX3000.
It weighs just over 20 lb (9 kg) yet offers a maximum flow rate of 3,000 gph
(11,500 LPH). Can be used with one, two or even four filter cartridges. As with other Flo
King models, the BX3000 prevents bath stratification by furnishing circulation to promote
uniform temperature and chemical composition.
 BX5000.
Excellent
for larger tanks or anywhere aggressive agitation is desired. Operates with 3/4-hp motor
and pumps a maximum of 5,000 gph (19,000 LPH) yet is still portable. Like other
Flo King units, it is available
in CPVC, polypropylene, stainless steel and PVDF (Kynar), and can be used with reusable or
disposable filter cartridges.
 BXL5000.
Like
the BXL2500, this unit features a low-profile design to avoid above-tank
obstructions. But at a maximum 5000 gph (19,000 LPH), it offers twice the flow rate. Accepts full
complement of accessories, including Slide-In Filter Cartridge Adapter for changing filter
cartridges without moving pump from tank.
 SP12K.
Pumps a maximum of 12,000 gph (45,000 LPH) using a 3-hp motor. A candidate for filtration and agitation of
larger tanks. Available in 220 or 440 V. As with other Flo King models, can be used with pipe
sparging system, if desired, for special circulation effects such as agitation from the
tank bottom up or from side to side.
