ICONIC SWIMMING POOL
chooses Ebara GSD pumps for filtration pump upgrade
The iconic Fitzroy swimming pool, operated by the Yarra City Council and Yarra Leisure, has recently installed three new Ebara GSD 100-250/11kW close coupled EN733 motor pumps as part of its filtration pump upgrade.
T
he Ebara GSD motor pump was chosen by mechanical services contractor, Mechanical Plumbing Services (MPS), due to its quality, proven hydraulic design and competitive pricing. The GS/GSD pumps come as standard with a high-quality electro deposition corrosion-resistant coating to the ferrous static components, both internal and external, making them ideally suited to harsh swimming pool environments. The GS/GSD range is the Ebara Corporation (Japan) new global range of EN733 water pumps and utilises the most advanced hydraulic computer software available. Ebara Engineers in Japan have been able to improve and increase the pump efficiencies of the new GS/GSD range above most other available pumps of similar design and standard on the global market. The majority of the GS/GSD pump range are MEI>0.7 efficiency index with the balance MEI>0.6, an indication of the high-quality design and manufacture by Ebara. The Ebara GSD range of close coupled motor pumps and the GS range of bare shaft EN733 end suction pumps are both manufactured in component form at Ebara Corporation (Japan)-owned and managed factories in South East Asia. After being assembled from these components by skilled tradesmen at the Ebara Pumps Australia facility in Melbourne, the pumps are then hydrostatically tested and inspected to our Japanese parent’s strict QA policies and procedures. The Ebara GS/GSD range of EN733 pumps are a true 16 bar working pressure with a high grade SiC/Carbon/EPDM Burgmann mechanical seal fitted as standard. Galvanised steel baseplates that have been fully engineered by Ebara Japan engineers are also available as an optional extra for the GSD motor pumps.
