Grundfos CRN 5-6 — material number 99917088 — is a 6-stage Grundfos CRN vertical multistage centrifugal pump with a 2 HP, 3-phase, 208-230/460 V NEMA TEFC motor and a HQQE shaft seal.
The 6-stage build delivers 390 ft of head (30 GPM, ~168 psi) at the BEP and a 468 ft shutoff — the typical pick for mid-rise pressure boosting, RO pretreatment, and cooling-tower makeup.
