USK JETS-100 Surface Water Pump 1HP Stainless Head

The USK JETS-100 Surface Water Pump 1HP with Stainless Head is a specific variant of the popular JET-100 model. The key difference here is the “Stainless Head” or pump casing, which offers significant advantages over the more common cast iron head.

Key Specifications and What They Mean:

• USK JETS-100: This is the model designation. It’s a “Jet” type pump, meaning it’s a self-priming pump that uses a venturi system for efficient suction, making it suitable for drawing water from relatively shallow wells (up to 8-9 meters) or tanks.
• Surface Water Pump: Designed to be installed above ground, drawing water via a suction pipe. It is not submersible.
• 1HP (Horsepower): Provides ample power for residential and light commercial applications (approximately 750 Watts / 0.75 KW).
• Stainless Head (Stainless Steel Pump Body/Casing): This is the key distinguishing feature. While many standard Jet-100 pumps have a cast iron pump body, this version features a pump head made of stainless steel.

Typical Performance Specifications (similar to the standard Jet-100):

• Maximum Head (Height): Approximately 45 to 55 meters.
• Maximum Suction Lift: Around 8 to 9 meters.
• Maximum Flow Rate: Generally 50 to 60 liters per minute (L/min) (approx. 3,000 to 3,600 liters per hour).
• Inlet/Outlet Size: Commonly 1 inch x 1 inch.
• Voltage: Single-phase 220V-240V AC (50Hz).
• Motor Winding: Typically copper for durability and efficiency.
• Impeller: Can be stainless steel, Noryl, or brass (stainless steel impeller alongside a stainless head is often ideal).
• Self-Priming: Yes, once initially primed, it can re-prime itself, making it more resilient to air in the suction line.
