Description
5 Ton Cooling Tower with Sump Pump – Model CCT-5
The Model CCT-5 is a compact 5-ton fiberglass (FRP) cooling tower with its own sump pump, built for small cooling jobs that do not justify a separate pump and piping package. It rejects 75,000 BTU/hr at 15 GPM and runs on standard single-phase power, so it can go almost anywhere a small process or machine needs cooling water.
Every CCT-5 is wired and tested before it ships, with a dual on/off switch: one for the fan motor and one for the sump pump.
Choose Your Pump Option
| Model | Sump Pump | Pump Performance |
|---|---|---|
| CCT-237-5 | 1/3 HP, 115V/1PH/60Hz | 16 ft TDH @ 15 GPM |
| CCT-457-5 | 1/2 HP, 115V/1PH/60Hz | 29 ft TDH @ 15 GPM |
Pick the 1/2 HP option when your piping run is longer, has more fittings, or lifts water higher. If you are not sure, call us with your layout.

Typical Applications
- Small process cooling loops
- Machinery and equipment cooling, such as small molding machines, welders, and compressors
- Pond and water feature cooling
- Lab, test stand, and pilot-scale equipment
Why FRP?
The CCT-5 casing and basin are fiberglass-reinforced polyester, which does not rust. That means no coating to maintain and a long service life outdoors. Learn more in why choose a fiberglass cooling tower and FRP vs galvanized steel cooling towers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can a 5-ton cooling tower cool?
The Model CCT-5 rejects 75,000 BTU/hr at 15 GPM, based on 95°F hot water, 85°F cold water, and a 75°F wet bulb. Typical uses are small process cooling, machinery and equipment cooling, and pond cooling.
Does the CCT-5 come with a pump?
Yes. Choose the CCT-237-5 with a 1/3 HP sump pump (16 ft TDH at 15 GPM) or the CCT-457-5 with a 1/2 HP sump pump (29 ft TDH at 15 GPM). Check that the pump head and flow fit your system before ordering.
What power does the CCT-5 need?
The CCT-5 runs on single-phase power. The fan motor is 1/6 HP, 110V/220V, and the sump pumps are 115V. The unit is wired and tested, with separate on/off switches for the fan and the pump.
How big and heavy is the CCT-5?
The tower is 33 1/2 inches in diameter and 52 inches tall. It weighs 86 lbs dry and 251 lbs in operation, and ships at 150 lbs in a 36 x 36 x 63 inch package.
