Zoeller Zoeller Model 161 Float Switch Effluent Pump 0.5 HP, 115V
Model: 161-0026|Item: bci5200366
Details
Zoeller Model BN161 nonautomatic Effluent Pump is designed to remove effluent or ground water in septic or effluent applications. The 1/2 HP BN161 is a time-tested and reliable effluent pump. The BN161 is a nonautomatic pump that includes a piggyback float switch for operation. This option allows you to set the on and off point of the pump in the field. This is ideal in an application with a deep sump pit or pump tank. The pump’s vortex impeller allows it to pass 3/4" spherical solids. The impeller’s clearance in relation to the pump housing allows water and solids to pass freely through the pump. This combination of design features lessens the chance of clogging and downtime. The Model 161’s motor housing, pump housing, and base are each constructed of cast iron. The pump’s identification tag, handle, and hardware are made of non-corrodible stainless steel. This attention to detail ensures that the Model 161 is able to withstand the most demanding effluent applications. Every pump is submerged in water and tested to its published performance curve, ensuring it meets Zoeller's expectations and delivers peace of mind right-out-of-the-box.
Features:
- Oil-filled motor and cast iron motor housing for optimal heat dissipation which prevents the pump from overheating
- Nonautomatic pump with piggyback variable level float switch which allows you to adjust the on / off level for optimal runtime
- Corrosion resistant cast iron vortex impeller to allow free passage of 3/4" spherical solids which prevents clogging and increases reliability
- Stainless steel screws, handle, and hardware to prevent rust and corrosion
- Powder-coated epoxy finish provides corrosion-resistance and extends the life of the pump in harsh environments
- 100% Factory Tested - every pump is submerged in water and tested at the factory to ensure that it performs as expected when you receive it
- Comes with a 1-year limited warranty giving you protection over your investment and the peace of mind you expect in a quality product
