Turbelle® masterstream 6550 – extreme flow for very large aquariums

The Turbelle® masterstream 6550 is a powerful, high-performance propeller pump, designed for applications requiring maximum flow, efficiency, and reliability. This pump is suitable for very large aquariums from 5,000 liters , but is also used in public aquariums, zoos, research institutes, and fish and algae farms.

Huge flow capacity with high efficiency

With an adjustable flow rate from 30,000 to approximately 50,000 liters per hour, the MasterStream 6550 delivers powerful, broad, and natural water movement. Despite this impressive performance, energy consumption remains low, making this pump exceptionally efficient compared to conventional water pumps.

• Flow rate: 30,000 – approx. 50,000 l/h
• Flow velocity: 0.8 – 1.3 m/s
• Energy consumption: max. 110 W

Fully adjustable

The Turbelle® masterstream 6550 is electronically controllable and can be controlled via:

• Turbelle® Controller
• Multicontroller
• SmartController 7000

This makes the pump ideal for circulation, wave action and tidal or wave simulations in large aquariums.

100% corrosion resistant and seawaterproof

All components are manufactured from high-quality, seawater-resistant materials such as ASA, POM, and reinforced PA6.6. The motor shaft is made of titanium alloy , and the motor and electronics are fully encapsulated in PU resin. This guarantees a long service life, even with continuous use in seawater.

• Titanium engine shaft
• PU cast engine and electronics
• PU-coated cable
• Completely corrosion resistant

Integrated control – low maintenance requirements

The entire control system is integrated into the engine block. This eliminates the need for an external controller housing, which ensures:

• Lower maintenance requirements
• Better cooling
• High reliability

The pump operates on a safe low voltage of 12 V DC .

Innovative propeller technology

The Masterstream uses a large, slow-turning performance propeller. The pump housing also functions as a suction filter, with an intake surface area almost four times larger than the outlet. This eliminates the need for an additional intake screen, keeping the flow efficient and quiet.

• Slow-turning high-performance propeller
• Extra large intake surface
• Flow rectifier Ø125 mm with injury protection (EN 60335-1)

Assembly and adjustment

The Turbelle® masterstream 6550 is attached to a pipe or rod with a diameter of 32 mm . Thanks to the 2D adjustment, the flow direction can be precisely adjusted.

• Connection: Ø32 mm
• 2D adjustable
• Corrosion-resistant nuts and bolts

Technical specifications

• Suitable for aquariums: > 5,000 liters
• Power supply: 100–240V / 50–60Hz → 12V DC
• Cable length: 10 m
• Dimensions (L x W x H): 340 x 165 x 227 mm
• Exhaust diameter: Ø125 mm

Summary

The Turbelle® masterstream 6550 is the ideal solution for aquarists and professionals who require maximum flow with minimal energy loss. Powerful, quiet, fully adjustable, and built for long-term use in the toughest conditions. A truly top-of-the-line flow pump for large reef systems and professional installations.
