FAMAC recently expanded its portfolio with three new lines of centrifugal motor pumps: the FPF, the FPOL, and the FJP. In fact, anyone familiar with FAMAC knows that solutions for swimming pools, hydroponics, chemical systems, wells, and refrigeration are part of its history. With these new products, the company goes further, offering more accessible and competitive options for applications that require reliable and technically sound equipment.
Therefore, three product lines were added to the portfolio with distinct purposes: from the rigorous chemical control of hydroponic cultivation to the practicality of a self-priming pump in a residential well. More options, more specification possibilities, with the same reliability as always.
Next, we will present a little more about each of them.
FPF Line: Motor pump with pre-filter for swimming pools, hydroponics, and evaporative pads.
A FPF line It is the solution for those seeking longevity in systems that require debris control before it reaches the volute. With an IP55 motor and intermediate section, the pump offers superior protection against water jets and dust — essential in pump rooms and outdoor environments.
But why does the pre-filter make a difference? The polycarbonate pre-filter sight glass allows for visual inspection of the ABS basket without needing to depressurize the system. This reduces operational interruptions and certainly increases the lifespan of the hydraulic assembly.
The Noryl rotor ensures dimensional stability under thermal variations, preventing internal friction and preserving energy efficiency. Finally, the GCB type mechanical seal — composed of Graphite, Ceramic and Buna — ensures a hermetic seal in continuous use.
Technical specifications:
| Parameter | Price |
| Available powers | 1/2 to 1,0 hp |
| Maximum flow rate | Up to 19,3 m³/h |
| Engine protection | IP55 with intermediate |
| Rotor | Closed in Noryl |
| Body and flange | High chemical resistance ABS |
| Axis | SAE 1045 steel with threaded end |
| Seal | Nitrile rubber O-ring + GCB seal |
FPOL Line: Motor pump for hydroponics, chemicals and circulation.
When the pumped liquid primarily challenges the integrity of metals, the solution is... FPOL lineFeaturing an IP21 motor and intermediate section, a closed Noryl impeller, and an ABS body, this line was developed for pumping compatible chemicals and hydroponic nutrient systems, where the acidity of the solution can, for example, corrode conventional pumps and contaminate the fluid. Furthermore, in addition to this application, the FPOL is an excellent option for use in gardening, common wells, and circulation.
The FPOL operates safely in fluids with a pH between 5 and 9. The enclosed Noryl rotor ensures that the pump does not suffer premature wear or contaminate the solution, a requirement that is certainly non-negotiable in hydroponic cultivation.
Technical specifications:
| Parameter | Price |
| Available powers | Up to 1,5 hp |
| Maximum flow rate | 27,3 m³ / h |
| Maximum pressure | 18 mca |
| Maximum liquid temperature | 40 ° C |
| Engine protection | IP21 with intermediate |
| Rotor | Closed in Noryl |
FJP Line: Self-priming motor pump
Primarily, self-priming motor pumps solve a classic installation problem: the reliance on a foot valve and manual priming in systems with negative suction, that is, when the pump is positioned above the water level. With the ability to remove air from the piping on its own and initiate pumping, the... FJP lineWithout a doubt, it simplifies piping infrastructure, reduces pressure loss, and saves installation time. Therefore, it is suitable for use in gardening, in common wells or well points, as well as for transfer, circulation, or cooling.
For successful self-priming, it is recommended to install a straight 40 cm section of vertical pipe just above the discharge outlet. This ensures that the water retained in the casing primarily protects the mechanical seal during the air suction phase, a process that can take 3 to 5 minutes.
Technical specifications:
| Parameter | Price |
| Engine protection | IP44K |
| Rotor | Closed in PPO |
| Maximum liquid temperature | 45 ° C |
| Depth of self-aspiration | up to 7,5 m |
Synthesis
| Line | IP | Rotor | Max. flow | Featured | Main Application |
| FPF | IP55K | Noryl Closed | 19,3 m³ / h | Pre-filter and Intermediate | Swimming pools, evaporative cooling pads and hydroponics. |
| FPOL | IP21K | Noryl Closed | 27,3 m³ / h | Intermediate | Chemical Products, Hydroponics and Evaporative Pads |
| FJP | IP44K | Closed PPO | 3,0 m³ / h | Self-priming | Wells, Wellpoints, Circulation and Cooling |
In short, the FPF, FPOL, and FJP lines represent a technical advancement that balances mechanical robustness and ease of installation, translating industrial complexity into real operational benefits.
