Description
The JS Pumps JS-1500 230v Manual heavy duty contractor pump (code 011-760) is a cast iron submersible drainage pump for clean and dirty water. It delivers up to 720 litres per minute and lifts to a maximum head of 19 metres from a 1.5 kW motor, through a 3″ outlet, running on standard 230v single-phase mains.
This is the manual version, so it runs whenever the power is on. That suits attended dewatering, or a fixed installation where a separate float switch or control panel switches the pump. The JS-1500 230v Automatic is the same pump with automatic operation, and the JS-1500H 230v Manual is the high-head version, 450 l/min to 22 m on a 2-inch outlet.
The JS-1500 and JS-1500H are 230v only. On a 110v site, the JS-750 is the largest model in the range.
Like every pump in the range, it has a stainless steel motor case and shaft, a cast iron volute, motor top cover and lower bearing and seal housing, and twin mechanical seals (carbon ceramic and silicon carbide) in a lubricated oil chamber. The side-mounted outlet points vertically upwards, and the pump comes with 10 metres of power cable and a hose tail.
