Pump Overview

The Dayton 2JGA3 is a submersible effluent pump rated at 1/2 horsepower and 120 volts. Its stainless steel body and impeller resist corrosion in wet environments. A tether float switch with piggyback plug automates operation between the on and off points. This unit suits residential or light commercial waste water removal.

Best-Fit Scenarios

Installers needing automatic level control in a sump pit of at least 18 inches diameter will find the tether float arrangement convenient. The pump delivers 85 gallons per minute at 10 feet of head and 64 gallons per minute at 20 feet of head. Buyers who require higher head pressure than 36 feet or a smaller pit diameter should look at other options.

Critical Spec

Maximum head is rated at 36 feet, which sets the absolute vertical lift limit for this model. Flow rates fall to 77 gallons per minute at 15 feet of head and 64 gallons per minute at 20 feet of head. If the installation demands lift beyond 36 feet, this pump cannot meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What is the minimum sump pit diameter required for the Dayton 2JGA3 pump?

The pump requires a minimum sump pit diameter of 18 in. for proper fit and operation.

How is the tether float switch wired on the Dayton 2JGA3, and what is the common wiring mistake?

The switch uses a piggyback plug; the pump cord plugs into the switch, then the switch plugs into the outlet. Reversing this order bypasses the float control.

When should the carbon and ceramic shaft seal on the Dayton 2JGA3 be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the seal if leakage appears at the motor housing or if pumping performance drops below the rated flow rates at 10, 15, or 20 ft. of head.
