Monarch Industries BE-S50 1/2 HP Self-Priming Effluent Water Pump
The Monarch Industries BE-S50 is a high-performance 1/2 HP self-priming effluent pump designed to tackle the toughest water transfer and drainage jobs. Built with a rugged cast iron housing and engineered for continuous duty, this pump is the industry standard for residential septic systems, basement dewatering, and flood irrigation.
Distinguished by its dual voltage capability (115/230V) and a high service factor of 1.90, the BE-S50 (Order No. 621815) offers superior versatility and power compared to standard sump pumps. Whether you are pumping effluent from a septic tank or clearing water from a flooded construction site, the BE-S50 delivers reliable performance with a maximum flow rate of 45 GPM.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a durable cast iron casing and seal plate, designed to withstand harsh environments and provide effective heat dissipation.
- Dual Voltage Motor: The 1/2 HP motor can be wired for either 115V or 230V, providing flexibility for various electrical installations.
- Self-Priming Design: Includes a built-in check valve that ensures fast priming and prevents syphoning, allowing the pump to start moving water immediately.
- Non-Clogging Impeller: The semi-open gray cast iron impeller utilizes a “Blind Hole” design to prevent liquid from contacting the stainless steel shaft, eliminating corrosion and thread stripping.
- Thermal Protection: Equipped with automatic thermal overload protection to prevent motor burnout during extended use.
- CSA Approved: Certified for safety and performance standards.
Common Applications
The Monarch BE-S50 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Septic tank effluent removal
- Flooded basement drainage
- Livestock watering
- Excavation dewatering
- General fluid transfer
