Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I'm trying to track down the manufacturer and model range for a water pump. I can tell you it's a 2.5kW 3-phase 400v 50Hz motor and the pump is some type of plastic construction. The application is a commercial factory tunnel washer and it's pumping hot water which is dosed with a mildly aggressive degreasing agent. The head pressure requirement is pretty low, I'd guess at 2 Bar (ish) but the volume is pretty high (suction is approx 2 1/2 inch).

Here's what she looks like....

I have seen similar on Jacuzzis ,although not in plastic but stainless instead .
Not sure if that helps , but it may be an alternative ?

Edit ; Just noticed it is 3ph ! I have installed similar on dairy equipment , again in stainless steel .
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I could probably use a 316 stainless pump but I think most of the hot tub pumps are 304 which probably will get pitted corrosion with the chemicals which are mildly caustic. This one is 2.5kW which is also a bit larger than most spa pumps. I'm hoping to find a like for like replacement which will save me spending half a day underneath it with a TIG welder reconfiguring the stainless suction and discharge pipework.
