Dwindling resources, changing water requirements and fluctuating groundwater levels represent significant challenges for submersible pumps as they usually only work optimally at one duty point. This results in increased electricity costs and wasted energy. The new Wilo-Actun ZETOS-K10 offers both a cost-saving and energy-saving solution that adapts variably to the changing duty points and ensures sustainable use of precious resources.
Varying operating conditions
Changing water requirements and a fluctuating ground water level pose a major challenge for submersible pumps that operate optimally only at one duty point. With the Wilo-EFC the speed of the Wilo-Actun ZETOS-K10 can be continuously controlled. This allows flexible adaptation to all duty points and thus offers a solution for maximum energy efficiency and huge cost savings.
Universal operating sites
The Wilo-Actun ZETOS-K8 is suitable for universal use – in the agricultural, municipal water supply and industrial sectors. In addition, it is also suitable for dry well installation. Thanks to hard-wearing finely cast stainless steel, the Wilo-Actun ZETOS-K8 is also suitable for demanding applications.
The maximum permissible sand content in the water is 150 g/m³.
Ability to configure the motor
Wilo-Actun ZETOS-K10 motors are always exactly aligned with the respective fields of application.
We offer an encapsulated variant for a particularly high thermal resilience, rewindable variants for a wide range of configuration options or a highly efficient permanent magnet motor.

Construction
Hydraulics
Multi-stage submersible pump with semi-axial hydraulics. Housing parts and impellers made of stainless steel investment casting (1.4408). Discharge port with threaded or flange connection available with or without integrated non-return valve. Motor connection as standard NEMA connection (up to 8") or standard Wilo connection (from 10").
Motor
Asynchronous and synchronous motors can be selected as the drive:
- Asynchronous three-phase AC motors for direct and star-delta starting:
- NU 501, NU 701: Hermetically sealed motor with enamel-insulated winding, resin-impregnated
- NU 611, NU 811, NU 911, NU 122, NU 160: Rewindable motor with insulated PE2 or PVC winding
- Operation on the frequency converter is permitted!
- Synchronous three-phase permanent magnet motor for direct starting:
- NU 512: Hermetically sealed motor with enamel-insulated winding, resin-impregnated
- NU 612, NU 711, NU 812: Rewindable motor with insulated PE2 winding
- A frequency converter is absolutely necessary!
Motor shroud made of steel, stainless steel or bronze casting. Hydraulic connection as standard NEMA connection (up to 8") or standard Wilo connection (from 10"). The motor shaft is sealed with a mechanical seal made of solid silicon carbide material. The motor bearings are self-lubricating. The thrust bearing is equipped with rockers to absorb the high axial thrust. The counter-thrust bearing absorbs the negative axial thrust.
Motors in the NU 5 … and NU 7 … series are filled with a water-glycol mixture. All other motors are filled with a water-glycerine mixture.
Cooling
- The motor is cooled by the pumped fluid. The motor must always be immersed.
- The limit values for maximum fluid temperature and minimum flow velocity must be adhered to.
- Vertical installation is possible with or without cooling shroud.
- In horizontal installation, the unit is supported by bearing blocks. An anti-vortex plate or cooling shroud may be used to improve the inlet flow.
