The Jabsco 23920-9223 Utility Puppy 3000 is a continuously rated 12V DC bronze flexible impeller pump with a nitrile impeller and a nitrile, carbon and ceramic mechanical seal. It is rated at 11.33 GPM (43 LPM) at 10 feet of total head and self-primes up to 8 ft (2.4 m) of vertical lift, giving very high flow for bilge pumping, deck wash and general purpose transfer.
A key advantage of the Utility Puppy series is its ability to run dry for up to ten minutes after the initial prime, which protects the impeller if the liquid supply runs out. Initial priming must not take longer than 30 seconds before liquid reaches the pump head. Ports are 3/4 inch NPT for use with 1 inch reinforced hose, and the pump handles hard and soft solids up to roughly 6 to 7 mm, so an inlet strainer is generally not recommended. The mechanical seal is designed for extra-long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of the mechanical seal?
A mechanical seal lasts longer than a lip seal in continuous service and resists wear from abrasive particles.
Q: Why won't the pump self-prime?
Inlet leaks are the most common cause. Make sure every connection on the suction side is airtight and unblocked.
Q: Can the pump run dry indefinitely?
No. It can run dry for up to ten minutes after the initial prime, which protects it from brief interruptions in supply.
Q: Is a 24V version available?
Yes. The 23920-9323 is the 24V Utility Puppy 3000.
