Description
The JS Pumps JS-250 230v Automatic heavy duty contractor pump (code 011-200A) is a cast iron submersible drainage pump for clean and dirty water. It delivers up to 200 litres per minute and lifts to a maximum head of 10 metres from a 0.25 kW motor, through a 1½” outlet, running on standard 230v single-phase mains.
This is the automatic version, fitted with a MAC3 float switch that starts the pump as the water rises and stops it as the level falls, so it can be left to look after a sump or excavation unattended. Allow roughly 300 mm of clear space around the pump for the float to move. The JS-250 230v Manual is the same pump with manual operation, and the JS-400 230v Automatic is the next size up, 240 l/min to 12 m.
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.
