The Davey 165S3 three phase shallow well jet pump is designed for high pressure water supply in irrigation, tank filling, stock watering, and water transfer from dams, creeks, and rivers. It is suitable for continuous-duty applications in agricultural and remote environments.
The pump features a marine grade aluminium body with precision moulded Rilsan® lining for corrosion resistance and durability. The jet-assisted single impeller design uses interchangeable jet and venturi kits, allowing accurate performance matching to duty conditions.
Using jet kit 22697 (Jet-White, Venturi-Yellow), the pump delivers a maximum flow of 165 L/Min at 260 kPa (0 m suction). The performance curve indicates a maximum head of approximately 66 m at low flow conditions. The pump supports a maximum suction head of 7.5 m and operates within a liquid temperature range of 1°C to 50°C.
The unit is powered by a Davey manufactured three phase motor with 1.8 kW output, operating on 415V supply. It runs at 2900 rpm with IP56 protection and Class F insulation, ensuring reliable performance under harsh operating conditions.
