    Description

    DV550AF Submersible Drainage Pump

    Powerful Dirty Water Drainage for Homes, Construction Sites and Commercial Applications

    Need a reliable pump to remove dirty water and wastewater containing small solids? The DV550AF Submersible Drainage Pump is designed to make demanding drainage jobs easier, whether you're dealing with accumulated wastewater, a flooded drainage pit or a commercial drainage application.

    Powered by a 0.55kW motor, this submersible pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 15,600 litres per hour (260 L/min) and a maximum head height of 9.5 metres.

    What makes the DV550AF particularly useful is its ability to handle suspended solids up to 29mm, allowing it to pump dirty water containing debris that may cause blockages in ordinary clean-water pumps.

    With its durable cast iron construction, the DV550AF is built for demanding intermittent drainage applications where dependable water removal is essential.

    Why You'll Love It

    • Powerful 0.55kW Motor – Designed for efficient dirty water and wastewater drainage.

    • Maximum Flow Rate of 15,600 L/h – Moves up to 260 litres of water per minute under suitable operating conditions.

    • Maximum Head Height of 9.5m – Suitable for applications requiring water to be lifted to higher discharge points.

    • Handles Solids up to 29mm – Allows suitable suspended debris to pass through the pump.

    • Durable Cast Iron Construction – Provides a strong, sturdy design for demanding drainage environments.

    • Submersible Design – Designed to operate while submerged in the liquid being pumped.

    • Versatile Applications – Suitable for compatible residential, commercial and industrial drainage systems.

    • Practical Wastewater Solution – Helps remove accumulated dirty water from drainage and collection areas.

    Designed to Handle Dirty Water and Small Solids

    Not every water pump is designed to handle wastewater containing dirt and debris.

    The DV550AF Submersible Drainage Pump can pass suspended solids up to 29mm, making it a practical option for applications where ordinary clean-water pumps may struggle.

    Whether you're removing accumulated wastewater from a drainage pit or transferring dirty water from a construction area, the DV550AF helps move unwanted water efficiently.

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

    Strong Cast Iron Construction

    The DV550AF features cast iron construction, providing a sturdy design for demanding drainage applications.

    Cast iron is commonly used in wastewater pumps because of its strength and durability.

    Combined with its 0.55kW motor and solids-handling capability, the DV550AF offers a practical solution for moving dirty water in compatible domestic and commercial environments.

    Ideal Applications

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

    • Drainage Pits & Sumps – Pump accumulated wastewater containing small suspended solids.

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

    • Commercial Drainage – Transfer wastewater from compatible commercial facilities.

    • Industrial Drainage – Assist with suitable factory and industrial wastewater removal.

    • Floodwater Removal – Help clear accumulated dirty water from suitable flooded areas.

    • Wastewater Collection Areas – Transfer compatible wastewater to designated drainage systems.

    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 – 15,600 L/h

    This is the highest stated water flow under low-resistance conditions.

    Maximum Head Height – 9.5m

    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

    • Not Suitable for Continuous Use: The DV550AF is intended for intermittent drainage applications and should not be operated continuously.

    • Ensure the pump is correctly submerged during operation.

    • Do not attempt to pump solids larger than 29mm.

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

    • Use compatible discharge piping and fittings.

    • Ensure all electrical connections are correctly installed and protected.

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

    • Confirm compatibility before pumping sewage containing fibrous materials, large solids or other unsuitable debris.

    Important: Although the DV550AF can handle suspended solids up to 29mm, this does not mean it is suitable for every type of sewage or septic application. Always check that the liquid and waste materials being pumped are compatible with the pump.

    Reliable Drainage When You Need It

    The DV550AF Submersible Drainage Pump is a practical solution for removing dirty water and wastewater from suitable residential, commercial and industrial environments.

    With its 15,600 L/h maximum flow rate, 9.5m maximum head height, durable cast iron construction and ability to handle solids up to 29mm, it's designed to make demanding drainage jobs easier.

    Whether you're draining a sump, clearing accumulated wastewater or managing a compatible drainage system, the DV550AF offers dependable performance for intermittent water removal.
