S-3 PUMP

3-Inch Self-Priming Pump for Wastewater and Slurries

The S-3 is built for demanding liquid-handling applications where above-grade installation, reliable self-priming, and straightforward service access are important.

Its large-volume design supports automatic repriming in a completely open system without requiring suction or discharge check valves.

S Series Pump

S-3 Pump Summary

The S-3 uses a two-vane, semi-open impeller designed for solids-laden liquids and slurries.

Pump-out vanes on the impeller shroud help reduce foreign-material buildup behind the impeller and reduce pressure on the seal and bearings, supporting reliable operation and easier maintenance.

S-3: Designed for Easier Maintenance

The S-3 is designed to make routine service and wear-component access more straightforward without unnecessary pump disassembly.
