Jabsco 18540-0000 Bronze Centrifugal Pedestal Pump
The Jabsco 18540-0000 is a bronze centrifugal pedestal pump with a 1-1/4 in NPT inlet and a 1 in NPT outlet, rated at about 50 GPM at 10 ft of head at 3450 RPM. As a centrifugal pump it is not self-priming, so it needs a flooded suction, but it delivers smooth, high flow for circulation and transfer.
Mount the pump below the liquid level so it stays primed, and keep the suction line short and free of air pockets. Centrifugal pumps tolerate dry running better than flexible impeller pumps, but the shaft seal still needs liquid, so avoid running it empty.
