With a flexible impeller, a stainless steel body Zuwa s Combistar pump offers a perfect price-performance ratio.

The new Hamann system HL Cont Plus 02 Slim is treating black and grey waters on yachts or ships in accordance with regulation MEPC159(55) issued by the International Maritime Organisation IMO. This regulation reduces the boundary value of wastewater emitted into sea since 2010.

The fully automated system works on the principle of flotation, a purely physical process not needing any chemicals or additives.

The Zuwa Combistar finally removes the clarified, germ free liquid from the vessel with a flow rate of 30 litres per minute and a pressure of 5 bars.
