Sta-Rite JHB-61HL Complete High Head Centrifugal Pump, 1/3 HP
This is the complete Sta-Rite JHB-61HL, a J/JB Series unit built as a high head centrifugal pump at 1/3 HP. Ordering the complete pump rather than individual parts makes sense once a motor has burned out, a casing has cracked, or enough wear parts have failed that a rebuild would cost more than a fresh unit.
The cast iron construction is built for continuous residential and light-commercial duty, and the specs below reflect the manufacturer nameplate rating rather than a generic estimate. Confirm horsepower, voltage, and port sizes against the pump being replaced, since Sta-Rite reuses similar model families across several different performance points.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit if my old pump has a different model number?
Only if the model numbers match exactly. Sta-Rite uses closely related model codes across different horsepower and voltage points in the same series, so confirm the full model number on the old pump nameplate before ordering.
Q: Can I rebuild my existing pump instead of replacing the whole unit?
If only the seal, gaskets, or impeller have failed, a seal or overhaul kit is usually the cheaper fix. A complete pump like this one makes sense once the motor or pump body itself has failed.
Q: What voltage does this pump run on?
115/230V, single phase. Confirm your electrical supply matches before wiring it in.
Q: Is this pump self-priming?
Sta-Rite jet and centrifugal pumps in this class are self-priming once the pump body and suction line are properly primed with water at startup; follow the priming instructions in the pump manual.
