Goulds Water Technology Enhances Line of Submersible Pumps

04.05.2012

Goulds Water Technology, a Xylem brand, has enhanced its line of submersible sump pumps with the addition of two energy-efficient residential STS sump pumps. The STS sump pumps are available in two models, the STS21 (1/4hp) and the STS31 (1/3hp).

The STS pumps are stainless steel and feature less amp draw for greater energy efficiency. Designed primarily for the plumbing and contractor market, the STS pumps provide a superior pumping solution at 38GPM for basement draining, dewatering and water transfer applications.

The STS pumps use a unique discharge pipe connection to allow continuous operation at very low water levels while providing full motor cooling. Additional features include:

  • Corrosion-resistant construction

  • Glass-filled thermoplastic impeller and motor cover

  • Upper and lower heavy-duty ball bearing construction

  • Air-filled motor mounted in aluminum housing

  • Permanently lubricated motor for extended service life and is powered for continuous operation

  • Vertical float switch and mounting pipe that are adjustable for various liquid levels

  • Complete unit is lightweight, portable and easy to service

  • Stainless steel fasteners

The STS pumps also a SJE Rhombus float switch, an extra long 20-foot power cord with NEMA 5-12P plug, and ceramic/silicon carbide mechanical seal faces with BUNA elastomers that protect the motor.

Other specifications are:

  • Discharge size: 1 1⁄2" NPT

  • Capacities: to 38 GPM

  • Maximum head: 25 feet TDH

  • Max. solids: 3⁄16" spherical

  • Temperature: 95º F (35º C) maximum liquid temperature

  • Single phase, 3450 RPM, 60 Hz

  • Built-in thermal overload protection with automatic reset

  • Permanent-split-capacitor type

  • Class B insulation
