Key Technical Specifications

Specification Detail
Model PSW3-1500 (often listed as 5000620444) 
Discharge / Intake Size 3-inch (≈ 80 mm) socket discharge / pressure, for well-point or similar setups. 
Voltage / Phase / Frequency 110V single-phase, 60 Hz 
Current Draw ~27.1 A at 110V 
Horsepower / Power Rating Approximately 2 HP (≈ 1.5 kW)  includes built-in thermal protection to protect the motor under load. 
Cord Length & Cable 49 ft (≈ 15 m) heavy duty, with strain relief for durability on jobsite use. PVC sheath cable, robust construction. 
Max Flow / Discharge Rate Up to ~111 gallons per minute (GPM) / 420 liters per minute (L/min) 
Max Head / Delivery Height Approx. 68.9 ft (21 m) maximum height for discharge. 
Solid Handling Capacity Solids up to about 6 mm (~0.2 in) diameter without clogging (clean water / lightly contaminated water) 
Weight Operating weight ~71.7 lb (≈ 32.5 kg) 
Dimensions Slim width and compact profile: approx. 7.4 in (187 mm) wide, 23.3 in (593 mm) height when assembled. 
Max Liquid Temperature Rated for handling liquid up to ~104°F / 40°C 

Core Features & Design Highlights

  • Slim & Compact Housing: Designed with a “slim” profile, the PSW3-1500 is easier to maneuver into wells, well-point setups, or tight trenches. This helps where space is constrained. 

  • Thermal Protection: A built-in thermal protection system protects the motor from overheating, especially in case of impeller blockage or overload. 

  • Durable Seals: Uses silicon carbide double mechanical seals in an isolated oil-filled cavity. This improves durability and helps reduce leaks and downtime. 

  • Heavy-Duty Cord & Strain Relief: The long 49 ft power cable is built with a strong, job-site rated sheath, and strain relief to prevent cord damage at entry points. 

  • Slim Profile Yet High Capacity: Although it’s built narrow for well-point or similar installations, it still delivers over 100 GPM with good head height. Good balance between power and form.

Benefits & What Sets It Apart

  1. High Flow Volume in a Slim Pump
    Moving over 100 GPM from a 3-inch discharge gives strong performance for many dewatering tasks — trenches, shallow pits, well-point dewatering.

  2. Ease of Installation in Tight Spaces
    Slim width and well-point-friendly design allow use in narrow sumps or tight vertical shafts.

  3. Protection Against Overload and Damage
    Thermal protection + mechanical seals help ensure less downtime, fewer repairs, lower lifetime costs.

  4. Long Cord for Deep Submersion
    The 49 ft cable gives flexibility to reach deep water or position the pump far from power source without too much extra extension.

  5. Durability & Job-Site Ruggedness
    Solid build (weight, materials) and design for continuous use under moderately challenging conditions.

Applications & Ideal Use Cases

The PSW3-1500 is especially suited for:

  • Well-point dewatering: Pumping water out from well-points in construction or foundation work.

  • Flood or Storm Drainage: Removing clean or lightly dirty water from flooded areas.

  • Trench or Excavation Dewatering: When trenches must be kept dry for utilities.

  • Basement or Vault Pump Down: For clean water or lightly silted water where strong head height helps.

  • Municipal or Utility Work: For catch basins, valve pits where solids are minimal.

It’s not the first choice for heavy solids, sludge, large trash handling, or where extremely high lift is needed — those cases require trash pumps or higher-horsepower multi-phase models.

PSW3-1500 110V, ~27.1 A 3 in ~111 GPM ~69 ft ~6 mm solids Slim dewatering, well-point, high volume clean water
PS3-1500 110V or 220V options, similar flow, somewhat larger body 3 in ~111 GPM Same head Slightly more solid capacity in some versions For general jobsite use, where width isn’t constrained 
PSTF3-750 110V, lower amperage, lower flow 3 in ~70-80 GPM Lower head Trash or dirt handling Dirty water, less head needed

Maintenance Tips for Long Life

To ensure your PSW3-1500 gives years of reliable service, follow these practices:

  • Inspect the Seals Frequently: Since it has double mechanical seals, check for leaks or oil intrusion; change deteriorated seals early before damage spreads.

  • Keep Impeller and Inlet Clean: Even though the solids tolerance is ~6 mm, debris build-up can reduce performance or strain motor.

  • Ensure Proper Cooling: Submersible pumps rely on liquid for cooling; avoid running when not submerged or in low water levels.

  • Check Cord and Strain Relief Often for damage; shield the cable entry points from abrasion.

  • Thermal Protection Resets & Testing: If the pump trips via thermal protection, inspect root cause (blockage, overload) before resetting.

  • Seasonal Storage: If storing during off-season, drain water, clean thoroughly, and store dry.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum solid size it can pass?
A: Up to about 6 mm (~0.2 in) solid particles. Enough for mild debris. 

Q: Is the 110V sufficient for this model?
A: Yes. It runs on 110V/60Hz, but draws about 27.1 A. Be sure your power source and wiring can safely supply this. 

Q: What is its maximum discharge height or head?
A: Approx 69 ft (21 m) at maximum setting. Performance will vary depending on hose length, fittings, and pipe friction. 

Q: Can I use this pump for dirty water or sludge?
A: It’s intended for clean or lightly dirty water; not for heavy silt, sludge or large solids. If water has lots of sediment or trash, use a heavy duty or trash pump.

Q: How portable is it?
A: At ~71.7 lb (≈ 32.5 kg), it’s substantial but manageable. The slim profile and handles help with transport. 

Why Choose the PSW3-1500 in 2025

If you are selecting a pump now, these are the standout reasons the PSW3-1500 is a strong choice:

  • Power + Slim Form: Many pumps have the power but are too bulky for certain setups; this model blends both.

  • Jobsite Durability: Components like double seals, thermal protection, heavy duty cord make it resilient.

  • High Flow & Good Lift: Strong head height and flow is valuable for moving water out fast.

  • Well-Point Applications: Especially useful for well-point, foundation dewatering.

  • Brand Support: Wacker Neuson has wide parts and service network, which reduces down-time risk.
