This innovative floating pump station is matched with a Riverscreen self cleaning filter and a high efficiency Cornell vertical electric pump unit. Directly fed by the pumped liquid, it ensures an immediate auto-priming of the irrigation system. Lightweight thermoformed plastic pontoons provide flotation to entire unit. Caimano represents the ideal solution for irrigation and can be used in reservoirs, rivers, streams, dams, and canals for drip irrigation systems, pivots, in systems requiring specific water filtration, and in all cases where suction height is a concern.
