Pentair hj50s Shallow Well Jet Pump 1/2 Hp 230V

Product Description

The PENTAIR hj50s is a 1/2 HP shallow well jet pump designed to draw water from single-pipe well systems typically installed in residential and light agricultural applications. Built with a cast iron housing, this pump is engineered for durability in continuous-duty pumping service. It operates on 230 volts and features a 1-inch discharge connection. The unit weighs 44 pounds, reflecting the heavy-duty cast iron construction that resists corrosion and wear over extended service life. Licensed plumbers and pump service technicians install this pump as a primary water supply source for homes, cabins, and irrigation systems with shallow well depths.

The hj50s is suited for shallow well installations where the static water level is within the suction lift range typical of single-pipe jet pump configurations. It is commonly used in residential potable water systems, pressure tank setups, and irrigation supply applications. The 1-inch discharge outlet accommodates standard residential water supply piping, making it a practical fit for new installations and direct replacement projects in similar pump configurations.

Key Features

• 1/2 HP motor rated for 230-volt single-phase operation
• Cast iron construction for durability in demanding pump service
• 1-inch discharge connection compatible with standard residential supply piping
• Shallow well jet pump configuration for single-pipe well systems
• 44-pound heavy-duty build suited for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential shallow well jet pump systems requiring a 1/2 HP, 230-volt pump with a 1-inch discharge connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with well pump systems and local plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off all electrical power at the breaker before servicing or replacing the pump, and depressurize the system before disconnecting any piping. Ensure the pressure tank and pressure switch are inspected and compatible before commissioning the new pump. Do not run the pump dry, as this can damage the pump seal and impeller.
