The Story
The General Pump 100538 is this powerful little temperature control device that's made for the heavy-duty industrial action.
Its a high-performance thermostat - a gp remote probe thermostat - that's just as critical to keeping your hot water pressure washer systems in check as it is to running your car wash facility. Its a beast, built to withstand the rigors of daily use and built to last - ensuring that your machinery doesn't get overcooked and that your equipment doesn't act up. That's what you get with the General Pump brand - reliability, that is - and this 100538 model is the perfect example.
It's robust and does a great job of giving operators the precise temperature regulation they need - whether you're running a commercial car wash or mobile cleaning business. And, let's be honest, keeping the water at the right temperature is the key to getting the job done right and effectively responding to temperature changes to prevent your equipment from breaking down. This thermostat lets you fine tune the heat required for the job, from 86 degrees F up to a piping hot 250 degrees F.
Features and Benefits
At its core, this device is all about its advanced sensing mechanism. A standard capillary tube thermostat design - think of it like a sensing bulb, a capillary tube, and a bellows or diaphragm element all working together in harmony. The sensing bulb is filled with some pretty fancy liquid that reacts predictably to changes in temperature.
As the temperature goes up, the liquid expands, pressing against the capillary tube, which sends a signal to the switch mechanism. That capillary tube is tiny, which is what lets it react so fast to changes in temperature. This thermostat model is pretty much a hydraulic system, where the fluid's expansion drives the control logic.
One of the things that really sets this adjustable thermostat apart is its super flexible installation options. It's designed to be panel mounted, so you can get at the control knob from the outside of the machine while keeping the remote probe nestled at the heat source - often a good distance from the control panel. And, let's not forget the capillary tube connecting the probe to the thermostat body - it's got a tough coating to stop it getting damaged during use.
On top of that, the unit has a dual scale knob that lets you see the temperature settings clearly, while also being tied to its electric rating making it easy to get it right even if you're not a technical wizard. And, by managing the heating cycle just right, this thermostat helps you save fuel and prevents overheating - which is pretty handy.
-
Precision Control: It lets you fine tune the water temperature for all sorts of cleaning tasks - thanks to that thermostat adjustable 86-250 F range.
-
Remote Sensing: it comes with a remote probe and a long capillary tube so you can measure temperature accurately even when its nowhere near the control panel.
-
High Pressure Rating: the unit is designed to handle maximum pressure 4000 psi systems without breaking a sweat.
-
Durability: the capillary tube thermostat design is super simple, relying on tried and true physical expansion principles to do the job.
-
Clear Indication: the dual scale knob makes it super easy to read and adjust the temperature settings - no technical know-how required.
Key Specifications
The specs on this General Pump 100538 make it clear that its built for hard work. It's rated for maximum pressure of 4000 PSI, which means it can take on even the toughest commercial cleaning systems. And, the temperature range is pretty broad, covering everything from warm water rinsing to high-temperature steam applications - so you can bet it'll get the job done.
And, installers will be happy to know that its rated at 16 4 a 380v - which gives you all the current and voltage capacity you need to keep the electrical load of the burner circuit safe and sound. The sensing element is pretty robust, too, thanks to its connection via capillary tube which is insulated to keep the temperature readings spot on - even in the midst of all that action.The Thermostat Adjustable 86 - 250 F Range - Right For Your Cat Pump System.
The thermostat adjustable 86°-250 F set-up makes it perfect for a wide range of cat pump systems and custom jobs. Not to mention, we've got it USL CSA approved, so you can rest assured that it meets the highest standards for electrical parts. We're talking tough, to make sure you can get the job done safely. A 16 4 amp rating is usually enough to take care of standard control circuits - just to give you an idea.
When it comes to checking that parts list for a fresh build or a repair, you've got to double-check that max pressure 4000 psi rating to avoid any nasty surprises. And when it comes to how long this adjustable thermostat is going to last, well, its built to keep going for years, as long as you install it right - and stick to its safety limits.

Installation and Reliability
Installing the General Pump 100538 with a w remote probe needs some care. The thermostat body needs to be securely mounted to the equipment casing - nothing too complicated. The capillary tube needs to be routed carefully so it doesn't get pinched or bent - we don't want any air getting in there and messing up the works.
Getting that remote probe into a thermowell or an immersion sleeve is pretty straightforward - its all about getting the temperature right. And don't forget to call in the pros for the electrical connections too - we don't want any nasty electrical surprises. This is a capillary tube thermostat so its pretty reliant on the tube itself - so keep an eye on that and make sure it doesn't get damaged. We're talking about a top-quality product here, and we're willing to back it up with some top-notch support, drawing from our extensive knowledge in the field.
We offer this product as a top of the line replacement or OEM part. When you need to get started on that repair, checking out the price and shipping options is dead easy once you've got it in your cart. We're always here to help, whether you need to know about the specifications or get some installation tips - we'll do our best to get back to you pronto.
We're pretty proud of the number of customers who've left glowing reviews about how this general pump thermostat has stood the test of time. It's a solid, reliable choice, that's for sure - and it's all about keeping your hot water system running safely. The panel mount design and w remote probe flexibility make it easy to get the job done. And if you need some accessories or other parts like a cat pump or some fittings, you can find them in our store.
