Gianneschi ECOINOX-2-CE-230/60 Stainless Steel Marine Pressure Pump
If you've ever dealt with the annoying pulse of pressure switches turning a pump on and off every time someone opens a tap, the ECOINOX-2-CE-230/60 solves that problem in a genuinely clever way. Built by Gianneschi, this is a self-priming centrifugal pump made from 304 stainless steel, paired with an electronic "Control Press" system instead of the older mechanical switch-and-tank setup. The result is smooth, steady water delivery that doesn't need an accumulator tank at all, which also means it takes up less space onboard and has fewer parts that can eventually wear out.
The 230V, 60Hz motor is sized for boats and yachts that need dependable freshwater delivery without babysitting the system. Because it's built with a Noryl impeller and stainless steel shaft, it holds up well to regular use in marine environments where corrosion resistance actually matters. The electronic control also brings in dry-run protection, so if the tank runs dry or a line loses prime, the pump shuts itself down instead of running hot and damaging the motor.
Owners typically install this pump for sanitary water supply, showers, galley taps, and general onboard water pressure, though it's equally capable of handling circulation, deck washing, chain washing, and even fire-fighting duty when sized appropriately. It's a practical upgrade for anyone replacing an aging tank-and-switch pressure system with something quieter, more compact, and easier to maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the ECOINOX-2-CE-230/60 need an accumulator tank to work?
A: No. The electronic Control Press system maintains constant pressure on its own, which is part of why it saves installation space compared to older switch-and-tank pressure systems.
Q: Can this pump run on seawater as well as freshwater?
A: The ECOINOX series is built for fresh water and clean liquids without suspended solids; for saltwater duty, check the specific model configuration since some Gianneschi variants are dedicated to salt water use.
Q: What happens if the pump loses its water supply while running?
A: The built-in dry-run protection detects the loss of flow and automatically shuts the pump down, protecting the motor from overheating and damage.
Q: Is this pump only meant for boats?
A: While it's primarily used in marine sanitary and pressure systems, the same self-priming stainless steel design works well in any application needing clean liquid transfer or pressure boosting on land or at sea.
Q: What's the difference between the CE version and a standard ECOINOX-2 pump?
A: The "CE" designation refers to the electronic Control Press system, which replaces the traditional mechanical pressure switch and accumulator tank found on standard models.
