If you are looking for a powerful, dependable, and intelligent water pump designed for Australian conditions, the Davey HM160-19T WPS w/ Torrium 1.9kW 240V 50Hz 1ph stands out as a premium solution. This pressure system combines a robust multistage pump with advanced Torrium electronic control to deliver consistent water pressure, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.
This system is purpose-built for households, rainwater tank setups, rural properties, and light commercial applications where water pressure cannot be compromised.
What Is the Davey HM160-19T WPS w/ Torrium?
The Davey HM160-19T is a high-capacity multistage pressure pump paired with Torrium electronic pressure management. The Torrium controller automatically starts and stops the pump based on water demand, eliminating pressure fluctuations and protecting the pump from dry running.
With a powerful 1.9kW motor running on 240V single-phase power, this system is engineered to deliver strong, steady pressure across multiple outlets simultaneously.
Why Choose the Davey HM160-19T Pressure Pump?
Most pressure issues in Australian homes come down to underpowered pumps or outdated pressure switches. The Davey HM160-19T WPS w/ Torrium solves both problems in one integrated system.
- High flow and pressure for large homes and multi-bathroom use
- Torrium intelligent control for smooth, constant pressure
- Dry-run protection to extend pump lifespan
- Quiet operation compared to conventional pressure pumps
- Australian-designed for local water conditions
Ideal Applications for the Davey HM160-19T
This Davey pump is not a light-duty unit. It is designed for demanding applications where reliability matters.
- Rainwater tank pressure systems
- Large residential homes with multiple bathrooms
- Garden and irrigation systems
- Rural and semi-rural properties
- Light commercial water supply
If you regularly experience pressure drops when multiple taps are running, this system is sized to eliminate that issue.
Torrium 1.9kW Technology – What Makes It Different?
The Torrium 1.9kW 240V 50Hz 1ph controller is the intelligence behind this pressure system. Unlike traditional pressure switches, Torrium monitors water flow and pressure electronically.
This means:
- No pressure surging or hammering
- Automatic shutdown if water supply is lost
- Reduced wear on pump components
- Lower maintenance requirements
In practical terms, you get smoother showers, consistent irrigation pressure, and longer pump life.
Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Value
A 1.9kW motor might sound heavy-duty, but the Davey HM160-19T WPS is designed to run efficiently by only operating when demand exists. The Torrium controller prevents unnecessary cycling, which is one of the biggest causes of premature pump failure.
This makes it a cost-effective investment over time, especially for households that rely heavily on pumped water.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australian water systems are tough on pumps — heat, sediment, variable supply, and long run times are common. Davey designs its pumps with this reality in mind.
The HM160-19T features corrosion-resistant materials, a durable multistage pump design, and proven electronics trusted across Australia for decades.
Installation and Compatibility
The Davey HM160-19T WPS w/ Torrium is compatible with most standard plumbing setups. It integrates seamlessly with rainwater tanks, mains backup systems, and existing pipework.
For best performance and warranty compliance, professional installation is recommended, particularly for higher-demand applications.
