Ulka Pump Model EX5 – The Trusted Choice

If you're in the world of home or commercial espresso machines, sanitization, waste water treatment, drainage, plumbing or various industrial applications, you've likely come across the Ulka Pump Model EX5—a powerhouse of performance and reliability in a compact form. Trusted by many of the biggest names by many OEMs in the industry, this pump plays a critical role in ensuring consistent pressure and flow rates.

What is the Ulka EX5 Pump?

The Ulka Pump EX5 is a vibratory solenoid pump, proudly manufactured in Italy, and is known for its:

• Voltage: 120V AC

• Power: 41W

• Max Pressure: 15 bars

• Outlet Material: Brass (more durable and sanitary than plastic models)

• Some Applications: Home and commercial espresso machines, autoclaves, sanitizers, soap/chemical dispensers, wastewater, HVAC drain pumps, carpet cleaners, steam ironing, and many, many more.

This model is a direct upgrade over pumps like the Ulka Pump EP5, offering a more robust build, especially with its brass outlet, which enhances longevity and hygiene.

WARNING: Used Ulka EX5 Pumps on Amazon Pose Health Risks

Not all pumps are equal—especially when it comes to sourcing.

We’ve noticed a concerning trend: Amazon listings are selling USED Ulka EX5 pumps, often without clear disclosure. While the price may seem attractive, the risks are extremely serious:

• Used pumps are not sanitary, especially for food and beverage use

• Some may have been previously used in unknown or industrial environments

• There is no way to verify what substances ran through them

❗ Some used pumps may have been in chemical systems, such as industrial chlorine circulation, disinfectants, or caustic cleaners. These substances are toxic to humans—even trace residues can pose severe health risks, including organ damage, chronic illness, or death if ingested.

Here is an example of a seller selling such used EX5 Pumps:

***BUYERS BE AWARE***

Think about it—would you install a used water pump into your espresso machine without knowing where it’s been? You might be introducing harmful chemicals directly into your daily coffee.
