Inspector Pumphead recommends Goulds Water Technology

 

Today the highlighted pump will be the Goulds Water Technology WS0511B, a sturdily constructed Sewage Pump from Gould Water Technology, one of our most consistently recommended manufacturers. Goulds Water Technology also sells a number of other quality sewage pumps.

Application

The Goulds Water Technology WS0511B is a Sewage Pump pump designed specifically to handle 2” non-abrasive solids in a sewage system. This Sewage Pump can move sewage water from a house or building without a gravity line. It can also be used in effluent or general dewatering applications.

Construction

Goulds Water Technology Pumps are famous for sturdy, dependable construction and this model is no exception, with a variety of rugged materials, such as cast iron and stainless steel, being used for different components. The volute casing and impeller are both cast iron. In addition, the impeller is semi-open/non clog and is dynamically balanced with pump out vanes that divert contaminants. The shaft is corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a threaded design, while the fasteners are 300 series stainless steel.

The mechanical seal is comprised of two silicon carbide seal faces resting against each other for abrasion resistance, as well as BUNA-N elastomers for to contain the seal faces. The pump also comes with a severe duty power cord that is both oil and water resistant. The discharge is 2” NPT. The pump itself is heavy at roughly 75 lbs., so be sure to keep that in mind for installation purposes. For convenience, it can easily fit with the A10 guide rail system.

Performance and Specs

The Goulds Water Technology WS0511B Sewage Pump can reach a maximum head of 25 ft. and a total capacity of 160 GPM. The motor operates at ½ HP and 115 V. This is a manual pump without a float switch. The pump can be run dry intermittently but is built for submerged, continuous use.
