The Red Dragon Eco 5 is a brand new pump model from Royal Exclusiv that is about to hit the US market in October of this year. Early birds will receive a discounted pre-order price that is now being accepted by authorized US dealers (keep reading to learn more).
Red Dragon Eco 5 Overview –
The Eco 5 has a maximum flow rate of 1057 GPH (4000 LPH) while only consuming 25 watts of power. At slower speeds the pump will consume even less wattage and Royal Exclusiv has provided flow curves using 25 watts, 15 watts and 10 watts of power as seen by clicking the graphs below. Like all of the saltwater Red Dragon pumps, the Eco 5 features titanium screws that will not easily corrode in saltwater. The pump can be used as submersible in a typical sump application or as an externally plumbed pump. Like the RD3 Speedy models, we expect the RD5 to come equipped with imperial fittings (US) and metric fitting. The controller box is noticeably smaller and less industrial in appearance than the RD3 pump models.
