DAB JET 200-PS Shallow Well Jet Pump with Pressure Switch | 2 HP, 230V

DAB JET 200-PS for Bigger Draws From Tanks and Shallow Wells

The JET 200-PS is the 2 HP member of DAB's cast iron JET line, built around an internal ejector. As a PS model, it arrives fitted with a pressure switch so it can run on demand. Power comes from 230V, 60 Hz single phase, driving a 2 HP (1.5 kW) motor. Rated current is about 11 A, and a 40 µF capacitor starts the motor. Maximum head is about 203 ft at zero flow. Cast iron forms the pump body and motor support, while the impeller, diffuser and venturi are technopolymer. Stainless steel adjustment rings and a carbon and ceramic seal round out the wet end. It takes a 1-1/4 in NPT suction and delivers through a 1 in NPT discharge. The motor carries an IP44 rating, the terminal board IP55, and the windings Class F insulation. The pump measures about 24.9 x 8.3 x 10 in overall.

Running a Shallow Well Jet Pump for Irrigation Supply

The extra horsepower over the 1.5 HP model holds pressure better as flow rises, which helps when several outlets open together. That makes it a fit for supplying a header, a fill station or a set of hose bibs around a greenhouse range. The ejector lets it lift from a shallow well, a pond or a buried tank and recover from air in the line. The pressure switch starts the pump as pressure drops and stops it once demand ends. Set it on a firm, level base in a horizontal position, as close to the water as practical. Prime the casing with water before the first start and keep every suction joint airtight. A foot valve with a strainer at the intake holds prime between cycles and keeps debris out. Size the suction pipe at least as large as the inlet to avoid starving the pump. The pump is rated for up to 116 psi of operating pressure in rooms up to 104°F. Clean water between 32 and 95°F suits domestic supply.

Key Features

• 2 HP motor: More power than the 1.5 HP model, so pressure holds better when several outlets open together.
• Factory pressure switch: Cycles with demand straight out of the box, with no separate control to add.
• Self-priming ejector: Lifts from shallow wells, ponds and buried tanks, and recovers from air in the suction line.
• Cast iron construction: Cast iron pump body and motor support for a rigid, fixed installation.
• Corrosion-resistant hydraulics: Technopolymer impeller, diffuser and venturi with stainless adjustment rings.
