The Onga 543 Jet Farmmaster pump is a self-priming jet assisted pressure pump designed for irrigation, stock watering, and general water transfer across domestic, rural, and light industrial applications. It is suitable for use with multiple water sources including tanks, bores, dams, creeks, and rivers, providing flexible installation options for pressure systems.
Constructed with an industrial-grade corrosion-resistant thermoplastic (Noryl) pump casing, the 543 pump offers excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions. The pump incorporates a jet and venturi assisted system with a closed impeller design, ensuring efficient water transfer and reliable pressure performance. A built-in check valve enhances priming reliability, while the design eliminates moving parts down the bore for reduced maintenance.
The pump delivers a maximum head of 41 m (shut-off head) and a maximum flow rate of 118 L/Min based on the performance data. It is designed for shallow well applications with suction lift capability up to 7.6 m, supporting both continuous and intermittent duty operations.
Powered by a single-phase motor operating at 230V, the pump has a nominal output of 1.1 kW (P2) and runs at 2900 RPM. The motor includes inbuilt thermal overload protection and is suitable for automatic or manual pressure system configurations.
