Reeflo Barraacuda Specifications

[Seastorm]

On your site you are showing the Reeflo Barracuda pump with a maximum wattage rating of 325 Watts when on the Sequence reeflo site, it is 245 Watts maximum.

Which chart\rating is correct?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your post, I checked the reefflo website for the wattage ratings for the barracuda and they show an average of 228 watts used. The max wattage usage for this pump is 325. The amount of energy consumed is all dependent on the flow and pressured being applied ( head pressure) The more head pressure you have the harder the pump is going to have to work to meet the flow demand, there for using more wattage. I hope this was helpful. Please let us know if you have any further questions

Thanks for the reply, I am still confused a bit as the link on the Reeflo site shows a maximum wattage of 245 Watts or so at the maximum head of 17ft. The chart does not even go over 300 Watts as far as I can tell. Is their chart incorrect?

Marinedepot, you may want to update your site for the correct specifications for this pump as the maximum wattage is 253 Watts not 325 Watts as seen from a reply from the Sequence Reeflo forum today. It looks like it was 325 Watts 2years ago.....

We originally fitted the Barracuda with an open faced impeller so that large materials would pass through...we rrealized two things...the pass thru issue was not an issue and the extra watts and lower pressure were not worth...We changed to more efficient closed impeller about two years ago...believe it or not some of our dealers websites are not updated very often and when we send them CD's with the updated info they use the CD's for coasters...
The Barracuda has max watts of 253, average watts of 245. The Dart has a max of 154 and an average of 135. Both pumps hav the highest flow to watt ratio in the business
