The Davey K165S3698 three phase shallow well jet pump is designed for high-pressure water delivery in rural irrigation, tank filling, stock watering, and sprinkler systems. It is suitable for continuous-duty operation where stable pressure and reliable performance are required.
This jet-assisted single stage pump uses interchangeable jet and venturi kits to match performance to specific site conditions. It delivers a maximum flow of 112 L/Min and develops pressure up to approximately 63 m head, making it suitable for applications requiring both consistent flow and strong pressure output.
Built with a composite construction, the pump features a marine grade aluminium outer casing with a precision moulded Rilsan® internal lining for superior corrosion resistance. Internal hydraulic components including diffuser, backplate and jet housing are made from glass filled Noryl, while the impeller is constructed from glass filled polycarbonate for strength and efficiency.
The unit is powered by a Davey manufactured 1.8 kW three phase motor operating on 415V supply at 2900 rpm. It is designed for reliable operation in high ambient temperatures and variable voltage conditions and is suitable for automatic pressure systems when used with pressure tanks to maintain consistent water supply.
