Designed to Handle Dirty Water and Small Solids
Not every water pump is designed to handle wastewater containing dirt, debris and suspended solids.
The DV-450-F Sewage & Drainage Pump features a wide-passage design that allows non-abrasive solids up to 25mm to pass through the pump.
This makes it a practical choice for drainage applications where ordinary clean-water pumps may struggle.
Its bottom-suction design helps draw water from the collection area, while the durable construction supports operation in suitable wastewater environments.
Whether you're removing accumulated water from a drainage pit or transferring wastewater to a compatible sewage system, the DV-450-F helps make the job easier.
Automatic Operation with Float Switch
The DV-450-F comes fitted with an automatic float switch, making it convenient for areas where water levels regularly change.
When the Water Level Rises
The float switch activates the pump when the water reaches the switching level.
When the Water Level Drops
The float switch switches the pump off when the water falls to the lower switching level.
This helps automate drainage and reduces the need to manually control the pump.
Durable Construction with Built-In Protection
The DV-450-F combines stainless steel and cast iron components to provide a strong and sturdy design.
These materials offer resistance to wear and corrosion in compatible operating conditions.
The pump also features a built-in motor protector that automatically interrupts power if overheating or excessive current is detected.
This added protection helps reduce the risk of motor damage during operation.

Understanding Flow Rate & Head Height
When choosing a sewage or drainage pump, it's important to understand how flow rate and head height affect performance.
Maximum Flow Rate – 12,000 L/h
This is the highest stated water flow under low-resistance conditions.
Maximum Head Height – 8.5m
This is the maximum height the pump can lift water, at which the flow rate approaches zero.
As the pumping height increases, the available flow rate generally decreases.
Actual performance will also depend on the pipe diameter, pipe length, bends and fittings used in your installation.
Please Note: The pump will not deliver its maximum flow rate at its maximum head height.
Installation & Important Information
-
Ensure the pump is correctly submerged during operation.
-
Do not exceed the maximum immersion depth of 5 metres.
-
The maximum liquid temperature must not exceed 40°C.
-
Only pump compatible liquids within the specified pH range of 4–10.
-
Do not attempt to pump solids larger than 25mm.
-
Avoid abrasive solids that could damage the pump's internal components.
-
Allow enough space for the float switch to move freely.
-
Use compatible discharge piping with the 50mm outlet.
-
Ensure all electrical connections are correctly installed and protected.
-
Regularly inspect and clean the pump to maintain efficient performance.
Important: Although the DV-450-F is designed for sewage and dirty water drainage, it is not suitable for every type of sewage or wastewater. Avoid abrasive materials, oversized solids and incompatible chemicals.
