Water Pumps
JCB petrol water pumps move serious volumes of water without needing a mains supply. The range covers three models: the JCB-WP50 (50mm/2-inch, 466 litres per minute), the JCB-WP80 (80mm/3-inch, 966 litres per minute) and the JCB-WP80T trash pump (80mm/3-inch, 1000 litres per minute), which handles solids up to 25.4mm for heavily contaminated site water. All run on a JCB 224cc single-cylinder 4-stroke OHV air-cooled petrol engine producing 7.5hp with recoil start, cast iron impeller and 7-metre suction lift. Built for site dewatering, irrigation, flood response and agricultural water management where mains power is unavailable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the JCB-WP80 and JCB-WP80T?
Both are 80mm/3-inch pumps with the same engine and frame. The JCB-WP80 handles clean to mildly contaminated water. The JCB-WP80T trash pump handles water with solids up to 25.4mm — typical of muddy excavation water and flooded sites.
What engine is in JCB petrol water pumps?
All JCB petrol water pumps use a JCB 224cc single-cylinder 4-stroke OHV air-cooled petrol engine producing 7.5hp with recoil start. Engine oil is SAE30 or 15W40, 600ml capacity.
What flow rate does the JCB WP80 deliver?
The JCB-WP80 delivers 966 litres per minute at zero head through an 80mm 3-inch inlet and outlet. Maximum suction lift is 7 metres. Total lift (head) is 28 metres. Flow rate reduces as head increases.
