AMT 2825-95 Cast Iron Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump, 3/4 HP
If you're moving large volumes of water or liquid waste and need something that can shrug off the occasional bit of debris, the AMT 2825-95 is built for exactly that job. This cast iron self-priming centrifugal pump pairs a rugged 3/4 HP single-phase motor with a clog-resistant impeller, so it keeps running smoothly even when the liquid isn't perfectly clean. It's a solid choice for dewatering flooded areas, transferring irrigation water, handling wastewater, or moving liquids with sediment, entrained air, or small semi-solids up to 3/8 inch in diameter.
What makes this pump especially convenient is its self-priming design. A built-in flapper check valve keeps liquid in the casing between uses, allowing the pump to re-prime itself and pull water from up to 20 feet away without you having to manually refill it each time. The dual volute housing also helps reduce stress on the motor bearings, which means less wear and a longer service life even under continuous duty. Cast iron construction and Buna-N seals give it the durability to stand up to demanding job sites, agricultural settings, and everyday commercial use.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the 1-1/2 inch NPT suction and discharge ports, and the pump ships ready to connect to standard piping. With a temperature tolerance from 40°F to 180°F and a max head around 102 feet, the AMT 2825-95 handles a wide range of conditions without missing a beat. Whether you're on a farm, at a job site, or managing facility maintenance, this pump offers dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.

FAQ
Q: Can the AMT 2825-95 run dry without damage?
A: No, this pump should not be run dry for extended periods, as it can damage the seals and impeller. Always ensure liquid is present before extended operation.
Q: What kind of liquids can this pump handle besides clean water?
A: It's designed for nonflammable, non-abrasive liquids and can manage sediment-laden water, liquids with entrained air, and semi-solids up to 3/8 inch in diameter.
Q: Does the AMT 2825-95 require additional motor controls?
A: No separate motor controls are included or required for standard operation, though field wiring is needed during installation.
Q: How long does it take the pump to re-prime after initial use?
A: The built-in flapper check valve keeps the casing primed between uses, allowing for quick re-priming rather than a full manual refill each time.
Q: Is this pump suitable for continuous industrial use?
A: Yes, the dual volute design reduces radial load on the motor, making it well suited for continuous or heavy-duty industrial and commercial operation.
