    Description

    DV250F Submersible Drainage Pump

    Reliable Wastewater Drainage for Homes, Businesses and Industrial Applications

    Need a practical solution for removing unwanted wastewater? The DV250F Submersible Drainage Pump is designed to make draining dirty water and wastewater easier, whether you're dealing with a residential drainage pit, construction site or commercial wastewater system.

    Powered by a 0.25kW motor, this compact submersible pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 9,000 litres per hour (150 L/min) and a maximum head height of 7.5 metres.

    What makes the DV250F particularly useful is its ability to handle suspended solids up to 20mm, allowing it to move dirty water containing small debris that may cause blockages in ordinary clean-water pumps.

    With a copper-wound motor, stainless steel welded shaft and built-in thermal protection, the DV250F is designed for reliable performance in suitable intermittent drainage applications.

    Why You'll Love It

    • Maximum Flow Rate of 9,000 L/h – Moves large volumes of wastewater efficiently.

    • Maximum Head Height of 7.5m – Suitable for applications requiring water to be lifted to a higher discharge point.

    • Handles Solids up to 20mm – Designed to pump dirty water containing small suspended solids.

    • Compact 0.25kW Motor – Provides dependable performance for smaller wastewater drainage applications.

    • Copper Motor Windings – Designed for reliable motor operation.

    • Built-In Thermal Protector – Helps protect the motor against overheating.

    • Stainless Steel Welded Shaft – Provides durability for submerged operation.

    • IPX8 Protection Rating – Designed for immersion in water within the specified operating limits.

    • Maximum Immersion Depth of 5m – Suitable for compatible submerged drainage installations.

    • Versatile Applications – Ideal for suitable residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial drainage systems.

    Designed to Handle Dirty Water and Small Solids

    Not every water pump can handle wastewater containing dirt and debris.

    The DV250F Submersible Drainage Pump is designed to pump dirty water containing suspended solids up to 20mm, making it a practical choice for drainage applications where an ordinary clean-water pump may struggle.

    Whether you're removing accumulated wastewater from a drainage pit or transferring dirty water from a construction area, the DV250F helps move unwanted water efficiently.

    Its submersible design allows it to operate directly in the liquid being pumped, making it convenient for suitable drainage and wastewater collection systems.

    Built for Reliable Performance

    The DV250F includes several features designed to support dependable operation.

    Copper-Wound Motor

    The motor features copper windings for reliable electrical performance.

    Built-In Thermal Protection

    An integrated thermal protector helps protect the motor against overheating during operation.

    Stainless Steel Welded Shaft

    The stainless steel shaft provides durability for use in compatible wastewater environments.

    IPX8 Protection Rating

    The pump is designed for submerged operation, with a maximum stated immersion depth of 5 metres.

    Ideal Applications

    • Residential Wastewater Drainage – Remove dirty water from suitable household drainage systems.

    • Drainage Pits & Sumps – Pump accumulated wastewater and small suspended debris.

    • Construction Site Drainage – Remove collected water containing suitable dirt and debris.

    • Commercial Drainage – Transfer wastewater from compatible commercial facilities.

    • Industrial Wastewater Removal – Assist with suitable factory and industrial drainage applications.

    • Municipal Drainage Systems – Suitable for compatible wastewater collection and drainage installations.

    • Agricultural Drainage – Transfer suitable wastewater and collected water in agricultural environments.

    Understanding Flow Rate & Head Height

    When choosing a drainage pump, it's important to understand how flow rate and head height affect performance.

    • Maximum Flow Rate (9,000 L/h): The highest stated flow rate under low-resistance conditions.

    • Maximum Head Height (7.5m): 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

    • Not Suitable for Continuous Use: The DV250F is designed for intermittent drainage applications and should not be operated continuously.

    • 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 20mm.

    • Keep the pump inlet clear of oversized debris and obstructions.

    • Ensure all electrical connections are correctly installed and protected.

    • Regularly inspect and clean the pump to maintain efficient performance.

    Important: Although this pump can handle suspended solids up to 20mm, it is not intended for unrestricted sewage containing large solids, fibrous materials or other unsuitable debris. Always confirm compatibility with your specific wastewater application.

    A Practical Solution for Dirty Water Drainage

    The DV250F Submersible Drainage Pump offers a compact and reliable solution for intermittent wastewater removal.

    With its 9,000 L/h maximum flow rate, 7.5m maximum head height, 20mm solids-handling capability and built-in thermal protection, it's designed to make dirty water drainage easier and more efficient.

    Whether you're draining a residential sump, removing wastewater from a construction site or managing a compatible commercial drainage system, the DV250F is a practical choice for dependable water removal.
