Jabsco 17000-0001 Epoxy Pedestal Pump with 3/8" Neoprene Impeller
The Jabsco 17000-0001 is a rugged, self-priming pedestal pump built for anyone who needs a dependable way to move liquids without babysitting the equipment. Its housing is made from glass-filled epoxy, which shrugs off corrosion and won't contaminate sensitive fluids the way metal pumps sometimes can. Paired with a Neoprene flexible impeller and a Nitrile, carbon, and ceramic mechanical seal, this pump handles everything from gentle lab solutions to gritty, solids-laden liquids without missing a beat.
What makes this pump genuinely useful is its versatility. Because it primes itself dry and can lift liquid up to 10 feet before wetting, installers don't need a foot valve or complicated priming routine — just make sure the suction line is airtight and it's ready to work. The flexible impeller design also means it delivers a smooth, pulsation-free flow while being gentle enough for delicate or shear-sensitive liquids, yet tough enough to pass hard solids and debris with minimal wear.
This is a bare shaft pump end only, sold without a motor, which makes it a popular choice for OEM builders, equipment manufacturers, and anyone integrating a pump into an existing drive system. Its plastic epoxy construction resists chemical attack from weak acids, alkalies, and plating compounds, making it a go-to option well outside of typical marine or automotive settings — think labs, small manufacturing lines, and specialty processing equipment where corrosion resistance really matters.

FAQ Section
Q: Does the Jabsco 17000-0001 come with a motor included?
A: No, this is a bare shafted pedestal pump end only. It is designed to be paired with a separately sourced motor or drive.
Q: Can this pump handle liquids with solids or debris?
A: Yes, the flexible impeller design allows it to pass hard solids and abrasives with minimal wear, clogging, or damage.
Q: Does the pump need a foot valve to prime?
A: No, the self-priming design eliminates the need for a foot valve, as long as the suction line remains airtight.
Q: What kinds of liquids is this pump safe to use with?
A: It's well suited to weak acids, alkalies, photo chemicals, plating compounds, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and liquid fertilizers, thanks to its corrosion-resistant epoxy construction.
Q: How long can the impeller run dry before it's damaged?
A: Like most flexible impeller pumps, it should not run dry for more than about 30 seconds, or the impeller can suffer damage.
