Technical note – 230V single-phase operation:
This pump is a single-phase motor that requires a dedicated control panel with start components, overload protection, and level control. It cannot be connected directly to a mains supply like a standard appliance. Installation must be carried out using the correct Flygt or equivalent control panel in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the model number mean?

• D – Vortex pump design
• S – Freestanding, semi-permanent wet well installation
• 3068 – Pump model series
• .180 – Standard (non-explosion-proof) version
• MT – Motor / pressure class
• 472 – Impeller type

Can this replace my existing Flygt pump?

In many cases, yes. If you provide your existing model number or duty point, we can confirm suitability before purchase.

This pump is supplied with a standard DIN flange, which allows a guide-rail claw to be fitted for fixed guide-rail installations. A Flygt claw can be used, or alternatively a compatible claw from another manufacturer can often be fitted to suit an existing installation, allowing the pump to be integrated into non-Flygt guide rail systems where required.

Please feel free to send photos or details of your current setup and we can advise on the most practical way to make it fit.

What is a vortex impeller?

A vortex impeller is designed so the pumped liquid and solids do not pass directly through the impeller vanes in the same way as a conventional centrifugal pump. Instead, the impeller creates a swirling “vortex” within the pump casing, which moves the liquid through the pump while helping solids pass through with reduced risk of blockage.

Why would I use a vortex impeller?

Vortex impellers are commonly used for wastewater and drainage duties where the liquid may contain solids, fibrous material, or debris. The design prioritises solids handling and anti-clog performance, making it a good choice where reliability is critical and maintenance access may be limited. In many real-world applications, the improved passage of solids can outweigh the efficiency advantage of a standard impeller.

What are the disadvantages of a vortex impeller?

The main trade-off of a vortex design is efficiency. Because the liquid is moved by a vortex rather than directly through the impeller vanes, a vortex pump will typically require more power to achieve the same flow and head compared with a channel or single-vane impeller. The hydraulic efficiency is lower, but in return you gain much greater tolerance to solids, rags, and debris, with a significantly reduced risk of clogging. For wastewater applications, this reliability advantage often outweighs the higher energy consumption.
