The X-AJE80P SteelPump is perfect for pumping rainwater and clear water. It is a high quality jet-pump, with stainless steel motor body. It is submersible and self-priming, with electronic flow control (ie will automatically pump on demand). The electronic flow control responds to the pressure in the outlet pipe. As the user draws water by opening a tap or similar, the pump starts, turn it off and the pump cuts out automatically.
The X-AJE P series is designed for pumping clean water only. When installed in a water tank it should therefore be used with an intake strainer or Floating Intake (the X-AJE pumps have a 1" Inlet). When this pump is installed outside a water tank to pump rainwater from the tank, the rainwater should be filtered before the tank, for example with a good downpipe filter/diverter.
It is very safe in garden applications, as the pump is totally water proof. This is perfect for where children are around - for total peace of mind.
This unit is very similar to the X-AJE B pump. The principle difference is the software controller on the X-AJE P is designed for PORTABLE installations, such as garden irrigation, or a temporary supply where demand and use is going to be variable.
This pump can function either submerged or above water, and is primarily designed for garden and portable applications. The professional build quality incorporates high quality oversized steel bearings, ceramic-graphite shaft seal and reliable electronics, making it suitable for demanding applications and high duty cycles. Software in the P series pumps is optimised for garden and irrigation use.
PLEASE NOTE: This pump does not ship with a carry handle as standard but is available as an option. Please select if required.
Ideal for:
- Garden irrigation
- Portable applications
- Temporary connections
- Above ground tanks
- Garden water butts
- Submersed surface and underground installation.
Optional extras - PLEASE SELECT OPTIONS AS REQUIRED
- Carry handle
- A float-switch with 2m cable -- Installation guide
NB - a float switch floats in the water of the water-tank and as the water drops and rises either activates or de-activates the pump. If you need a bespoke length of cable for your float-switch then please contact us on 01239 777009.
Pressure Vessel
We highly recommend you fit a pressure vessel to the water delivery pipework (after the pump). Pressure Vessels help increase the life of your automatic pump when there are leaks in your pipe network/taps. Read more about how Pressure Vessels work.

XAJE80G (SteelPump with Red coloured ends)
The XAJE80G and XAJE80P pumps are essentially the same pump (just with different coloured caps). The "G" version (with red coloured end caps) was sold widely in Europe. If you are looking for a like for like replacement for your XAJE80G pump then the XAJE80P is for you!
