Dayton 45MW18 Pressure Booster Pump
The Dayton 45MW18 is a single-phase pressure booster pump rated at 1 hp and 115/230V AC. It delivers up to 32 gpm at 30 psi and 23 gpm at 50 psi, with a maximum shut-off pressure of 60 psi. The cast-iron housing and open dripproof motor suit horizontal mounting in non-potable water systems.
1-1/2 in NPT intake and 1-1/4 in discharge
The pump accepts a 1-1/2 in NPT intake and a 1-1/4 in NPT discharge, so existing piping must match those sizes or be adapted. Flow rates fall from 32 gpm at 30 psi to 3 gpm at 60 psi, and best efficiency occurs at 48 psi. The 13 A draw at 115V or 6.3 A at 230V determines the circuit capacity needed.
Check voltage, piping and potable rating
Verify that the supply voltage matches 115/230V single-phase and that the circuit can handle the listed amperage. Confirm the system is non-potable, as the pump is not rated for drinking water. Ensure horizontal mounting space and compatible NPT thread sizes are available before ordering.

Questions about this item
How often will the cast-iron housing and open-dripproof motor need inspection or seal replacement?
The cast-iron housing resists corrosion, but the open-dripproof motor enclosure allows dust and moisture inside, so plan to check shaft seals and bearings annually and replace them if leakage or noise appears.
At what pressure does the flow drop off most sharply during continuous operation?
Flow falls from 27 gpm at 40 psi to only 3 gpm at 60 psi, making 60 psi the practical shut-off limit where sustained output nearly stops.
How hot and loud does the 1 hp motor get when running all day on 115 V at 13 A?
The open-dripproof 1 hp motor draws 13 A at 115 V, so expect noticeable heat and typical industrial pump noise during extended runs; ensure ventilation and secure mounting to limit vibration.
