The Triton 420 eco is a new pump from the Schunk Groupe; a large company headquartered in Germany that specializes in namely automotive industries among others. The Triton 420 eco pump looks very similar to the the Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon pumps that we have seen before but this pump is not in fact the same. The Triton 420 eco pump is a DC controllable pump that will push water up to 21,000 lph (5,547 GPH) up to a max head height of 35 feet via its optional controller module (pictured below). One of the selling points of the pump is the low power consumption and low noise levels this pump produces. Inside you’ll find ceramic bearings that will give you years of good use without having to worry about them wearing out with most pumps on the market. The module offers features like “soft start”, dry run protection, and over heating protection in addition to acoustic alarms. You’re probably wondering what type of retail pricing this sleek pump carries and you had better sit down now if you aren’t already…this pump is around 1500 euros ($1978) which will sincerely reduce its market penetration and produce shocks of awe as you no doubt just experienced. Got flow? We got more shots of the pump along with the optional controller below right after the break.
