Description
The JS Pumps GS-1200 230v Automatic (code 020-702A) is a submersible sewage grinder pump with a MAC 3 float switch, so it starts and stops itself as the sump fills and empties. Its cutter and high-chrome grinder ring shred soft solids into fine particles, letting it pump up to 190 litres per minute and lift to 19 metres of head through a 1¼” outlet. The 1.2 kW motor runs on 230v single-phase mains and draws 9.9 A.
This is the simplest way to drain a domestic sewage sump without a separate controller. Allow room in the chamber for the float to rise and fall freely. If you would rather control the pump from a panel, choose the GS-1200 230v Manual; if you need more lift, the GS-1500 230v Automatic reaches 22 metres.
The pump body, impeller, motor top cover and lower bearing and seal housing are cast iron, and the motor case is stainless steel. Twin mechanical seals (carbon ceramic and silicon carbide) run in a lubricated oil chamber. The side vertical outlet is removable, so the pump can stand free with the hose tail supplied or sit on a guide rail coupling foot for easy lifting out. It comes with 10 metres of power cable.
