Jabsco Handi Puppy Utility Bronze AC Motor Pump Unit - 12210-0001

Key Performance Features

• Flexible Impeller Technology: The Neoprene impeller allows the pump to handle both hard and soft solids without clogging and provides a non-pulsating flow.

• Rapid Self-Priming: It can draw water from a dry start up to 5 feet vertically. Once the impeller is wet, its suction lift increases significantly up to 20 feet.

• Durable Bronze Body: The pump head is constructed from marine-grade bronze with a 316 stainless steel shaft to resist corrosion.

• Versatile Plumbing: The ports feature dual-threading, accepting both 3/8" NPT internal pipe threads and 3/4" garden hose adapters for maximum convenience.

• Voltage: 115V AC (includes a 6-foot cord with a 3-prong grounded plug).

• Max Pressure: 17.4 PSI (approx. 40 feet of head).

Summary for the User

This pump is an excellent "multi-purpose" tool for draining water heaters, emptying flooded basements, or washing down decks. Because it uses a Neoprene impeller, it is best suited for water and general-purpose liquids.

Pro Tip: To maximize the life of your pump, never run it dry for more than 30 seconds. The impeller relies on the liquid being pumped for lubrication and cooling; running dry will cause rapid friction damage.
