The Aico Japan AKP300 is a heavy-duty 3HP centrifugal booster water pump designed for high-volume water transfer, irrigation, tank filling, construction sites and commercial water systems.

With a powerful 3HP / 2kW motor, large 3-inch inlet and outlet, and flow rates of up to 420 litres per minute, it is ideal for applications where moving a large amount of water quickly is the priority.

💦 High-Volume Water Transfer

The AKP300 is designed around flow capacity. Its 3-inch ports allow it to move up to 420 litres of water per minute, making it particularly useful for jobs such as:

• 🌾 Large-scale irrigation
• 🚰 Rapid tank filling
• 🏗️ Construction water transfer
• 🏭 Factory water circulation
• 🐄 Livestock water systems
• 💦 Flood drainage
• 🚜 Farm water distribution

⚡ 3HP Single-Phase Motor

Because this version uses 220–240V single-phase power, it is easier to install in locations that do not have a three-phase supply.

This makes it practical for:

• Homes with larger water systems
• Farms
• Workshops
• Shops
• Construction sites
• Small factories

📏 30–35 Metre Head

The listed maximum head is approximately 30–35 metres, meaning the pump is best suited to applications that need very high flow with moderate pressure rather than extremely high vertical lift.

Actual performance will reduce as elevation, pipe length and fittings increase.

✅ Benefits

• Very high 420L/min flow
• Large 3-inch connections
• Strong 3HP motor
• Single-phase convenience
• Heavy-duty cast-iron construction
• Suitable for continuous high-volume transfer
• Thermal motor protection
• Ideal for agriculture and commercial installations
• Easy to integrate into large water systems

⚠️ Installation & Operating Notes

• 💧 Prime the pump before starting
• 🚫 Never run the pump dry
• 🔌 Use a correctly rated electrical supply
• 🌍 Ensure proper earthing
• 🛡️ Use suitable overload and breaker protection
• 📏 Avoid undersized pipes that restrict flow
• 🔩 Ensure suction joints are airtight
• 🧹 Best used for clean or only slightly turbid water
• 🌧️ Install in a dry, ventilated location protected from direct weather
• 🔧 Professional electrical installation is recommended

The retailer specifically advises priming before operation, proper earthing and avoiding dry running.
