Model RX1500SS-230 Chemical Corrosion Resistant Dewatering Pump

Product Overview

Compromising on pump materials during a dewatering project can lead to catastrophic system shutdowns and expensive environmental remediation if a standard cast iron unit fails in corrosive runoff. When dealing with aggressive chemicals or acidic ground water, relying on inferior equipment during peak construction seasons or emergency repair windows puts your reputation and your project deadlines at risk. Current market shortages for specialty alloys mean that waiting for a failure to occur can result in weeks of downtime and lost revenue. Proactively securing a high grade stainless steel dewatering solution ensures your job site remains dry and compliant with local environmental regulations while satisfying the most demanding project inspectors.

The BJM RX1500SS-230 is engineered specifically for environments where standard pumps disintegrate. By utilizing heavy duty 316 stainless steel for all wetted parts, this pump eliminates the need for frequent replacements and the labor costs associated with hauling failed units out of deep pits. Unlike coated or lined pumps that can chip and fail, this solid investment provides a permanent solution for handling caustic liquids. Maintaining a fleet of corrosion resistant pumps gives your company a significant competitive edge when bidding on industrial, municipal, or agricultural projects where fluid chemistry is unpredictable or known to be aggressive.

Product Specifications

Available Models & Sizes

The RX series is available in various horsepower ratings ranging from 0.5 HP to over 3.0 HP with discharge sizes starting at 2 inches. Options include single phase or three phase configurations depending on your site requirements. Please contact our technical sales team for custom configurations or to discuss volume pricing for fleet upgrades.

Key Features

• Full 316 stainless steel construction prevents pitting and structural failure in acidic or alkaline environments.
• Equipped with Viton O-rings and seals to ensure chemical compatibility across a wide range of industrial fluids.
• Double mechanical seals protected by an oil chamber provide superior motor protection and extended service life.
• The slimline design allows for installation in tight sumps and narrow dewatering wells where larger units cannot fit.
• Thermal sensors are integrated into the motor windings to prevent burnout from dry running or overloading conditions.
• Top discharge design uses the pumped liquid to cool the motor, allowing for continuous operation in shallow water levels.

Common Applications

• Chemical and fertigation delivery for high volume agricultural operations.
• Industrial wastewater processing and chemical runoff management.
• Municipal parks and public spaces where water chemistry treats invasive species.
• Greenhouse and nursery operations handling concentrated nutrient solutions.
• Erosion control and stormwater systems in areas with high soil acidity.
• Agricultural and crop irrigation involving reclaimed or treated water sources.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated 230V circuit and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure compliance with NEMA standards. Given the weight of the stainless steel housing, use a heavy duty lifting cable to lower the unit into the sump rather than the power cord. Ensure the discharge piping is compatible with the chemicals being pumped; PVC or reinforced hose is typically recommended over standard steel to maintain the integrity of the corrosion resistant loop.
