Loading... Please wait...NorthStar®'s Self-Priming Semi-Trash Water Pump has a quiet and dependable 160cc Honda GX160 engine and silicon carbide mechanical seals that resist corrosion, wear and heat better than a standard seal. The long-lasting, high-end silicon carbide seals that are specially suited for heavy-duty applications such as pumping contaminated and abrasive fluids. FCD45 cast iron impeller and volute reduce vibration and wear on the mechanical seal and engine, allowing them to last longer for semi-trash operations.

The NorthStar� Semi-Trash Water Pump is a versatile workhorse ready to tackle a variety of jobs. To ensure the best performance, longer life and smoother operation, we gave this heavy-duty water pump a cast iron impeller and volute to increase pump life in semi-trash situations. We also added a multi-directional discharge that puts fluids where you want them.
The high-end silicone carbide mechanical seals in this NorthStar� Semi-Trash Water Pump are harder, tougher and stronger than common aluminum oxide seals and have superior resistance to corrosion, wear and heat so you can use it in all kinds of situations. It also has our cutting-edge check valves that hold a prime when the pump is not running to quickly get you back up and pumping.
Because jobsites can be dangerous and accidents happen, we knew you'd want to protect your pump. This is why it is has a fully welded rugged steel roll cage. It gives the pump maximum protection at the jobsite and while transporting. The wide base gives rock-solid stability.
