Model JX400SS-115 Chemical Corrosion Resistant Dewatering Pump

Product Overview

When corrosive groundwater or chemical runoff encounters standard cast iron pumps, the results are inevitable: rapid seal failure, motor housing degradation, and total system shutdown. These failures often strike during peak project schedules or critical drainage windows, leading to environmental compliance violations and expensive emergency remediation. During heavy rain cycles or mid-season operations, lead times for industrial-grade stainless steel equipment can stretch for weeks or months. Securing the JX400SS-115 now prevents your crews from being stranded with a failed unit and a flooded site. Professional planning ensures your projects remain on track and your client sites stay dry and compliant even in the most aggressive fluid environments.

The BJM JX400SS-115 offers a distinct technical advantage by utilizing 316 stainless steel for all wetted parts, providing far superior longevity compared to poly-coated or standard steel alternatives. This unit eliminates the frequent replacement cycles common in harsh environments, directly reducing your long-term maintenance overhead and labor costs. By providing a pump that withstands acidic or alkaline liquids, you offer your clients a more reliable infrastructure solution. Maintaining a fleet of high-performance chemical pumps gives your business a competitive edge when bidding on industrial, municipal, or complex landscape drainage contracts.

Product Specifications

Available Models & Sizes

The JX Series includes several configurations ranging from 0.5 HP to 2 HP in both single and three-phase power options. While this 115V model is standard for many portable and temporary installs, larger 230V and 460V units are available for permanent industrial lift stations. Please contact our technical sales team for full performance curves and specialized configuration pricing.

Key Features

• Cast 316 stainless steel construction resists pitting and chemical corrosion in aggressive dewatering applications.
• Viton elastomers and O-rings provide superior seal protection against chemical solvents and oils.
• Double mechanical seals in a separate oil chamber offer maximum motor protection and extended run times.
• Top discharge design allows for flow-through cooling of the motor, permitting operation in low water levels.
• Integral thermal sensor and motor overload protection prevent expensive burnouts during demanding duty cycles.
• Compact and lightweight profile allows your crews to deploy the unit quickly in tight sumps or temporary pits.

Common Applications

• Chemical and fertigation delivery systems for large scale agricultural operations.
• Municipal parks and public spaces requiring aggressive runoff management.
• Greenhouse and nursery operations handling fertilizer-rich drainage water.
• Industrial landscape irrigation systems near coastal or high-salinity areas.
• Stormwater systems where chemical leaching or hazardous runoff is a concern.
• Commercial site dewatering for projects in contaminated or low-pH soil conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a grounded 115V power source and a secure 2 inch NPT discharge connection to prevent backflow or pipe fatigue. Ensure all piping and valves used in the system are also compatible with the specific chemicals being pumped to maintain system integrity. For permanent installations, use a guide rail system or a stable, level base to prevent the unit from burying itself in silt. Crews should verify that the motor protection leads are correctly wired to the control panel to ensure the warranty remains valid and the pump is protected from dry-run conditions.
