Pentair Jetinox Stainless Steel Centrifugal Booster Pumps
The Jetinox 45/43 M, 60/50 M and 90/50 M are no longer available. The Inox 80 110v is still in stock, and if you are replacing a Jetinox we can advise on a current pump to suit: call 01252 515169.
Pentair Jetinox stainless steel centrifugal booster pumps are self-priming jet pumps for clean water. Use one to lift water from a tank, cistern or shallow well, or to raise the pressure feeding a house, garden or washing system. Each Jetinox has an AISI 304 stainless steel pump body and a Venturi jet built into the pump, which recirculates part of the flow to give strong suction, so the pump primes itself once the casing has been filled with water.
The three Jetinox models run on 230v single phase. Pentair rates the motors IP44 with Class F insulation and a thermal cutout in the winding, for continuous duty at 2850 rpm. They are bare pumps, with no pressure switch, vessel or controller, so you add the controls your job needs. Pentair recommends a maximum of 8 metres of suction lift with a foot valve, water up to 50°C and a maximum operating pressure of 6 bar.
Choosing a Jetinox model
The Jetinox 45/43 M (0.37 kW) is the smallest: 23 metres of head at 20 l/min, but almost nothing left by 40 l/min. It suits a single outlet, a garden tap or small transfer jobs.
The Jetinox 60/50 M (0.55 kW) gives 31 metres at 20 l/min and 18 metres at 40 l/min, enough for one bathroom or a kitchen and a shower used one at a time.
The Jetinox 90/50 M (0.9 kW) has a much flatter curve: 33 metres at 40 l/min and still 20 metres at 80 l/min. It has a larger 1¼” suction connection and suits two bathrooms or irrigation with several outlets open together.
The Inox 80 110v is the odd one out. It is not a Jetinox but a Pentax stainless steel jet pump, built for 110v site supplies, with up to 40 l/min and 45 metres of head.
Pump only, or automatic control?
If you would rather have automatic control built in, the Pentax PM45-A is a small pump that switches itself on and off. For several showers or outlets running together, look at the multistage Nocchi DHI pumps.

Jetinox figures are Pentair’s published performance at 230v; motor output is rated output (P2), not power drawn. Inox 80 figures are its rated maximum flow and head, with the head at 40 l/min read from the performance curve. Click through to any model for its full specification.

Where a Jetinox Pump Works Best
The most common job is boosting from a break tank or cold water cistern. Fit the Jetinox with a pressure switch and pressure vessel, or an electronic pressure controller from our pump controls range, and it starts when a tap opens and stops when demand ends. Our guide to how to increase water pressure explains when a pump is the right fix, and what is a booster pump covers the break tank rules for UK mains water.
Because the jet design draws hard on the suction side, a Jetinox can also sit above its water source: a rainwater tank, a stream or a shallow well. Pentair lists lifting from wells and cisterns, garden irrigation, fountain supply, washing and water transfer among its uses. Keep the suction pipe short, airtight and at least the size of the pump inlet, with a foot valve and strainer at the bottom. Our self-priming pumps guide explains how this type of pump clears air from the line.
Install the pump under cover in a dry, frost-free, ventilated space. The IP44 motor resists splashing water, not rain or flooding. On building sites and other locations with a 110v supply, use the Inox 80 110v, as the Jetinox models are 230v only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Jetinox pump switch itself on and off?
No. Each Jetinox is the pump and motor only. For automatic operation add a pressure switch with a pressure vessel, or an electronic pressure controller. If you want it built in, the Pentax PM45-A has automatic control on the pump.
How deep can a Jetinox lift water from?
Pentair recommends a maximum suction lift of 8 metres, measured from the water level to the pump, with a foot valve fitted. Long or undersized suction pipes reduce that figure, so aim for less where you can. For water further down, use a submersible pump from our well and borehole pumps range instead.
What is the difference between the Jetinox 60/50 and 90/50?
Both reach about the same pressure with the taps nearly closed (46 and 50 metres), but the 90/50 holds it far better as flow rises. At 40 l/min the 60/50 gives 18 metres and the 90/50 gives 33 metres. The 90/50 also has a 1¼” male suction connection, draws 7 A against 4 A, and weighs 13 kg against 8.2 kg.
Can I run a Jetinox pump on 110v?
No. All three Jetinox models are 230v single phase. The Inox 80 110v in this range is the pump to choose for 110v site supplies.
What water can a Jetinox pump handle?
Clean water only, free of suspended solids and abrasives such as sand, at up to 50°C. Fill the pump casing before the first start, and never let it run without water. Our guide on how to prime a pump covers the steps. Where a tank could empty, fit a float switch to cut the pump.
