Built to Handle Dirty Water
Not every water pump can handle debris and suspended solids.
The 1.1kW Dirty Water Submersible Pump is designed specifically for applications where water may contain dirt, sediment and other suspended material.
Its single-vane impeller design allows solids up to 43mm to pass through the pump, helping reduce the likelihood of blockages.
This makes it especially useful for drainage applications where ordinary clean-water pumps may struggle.
Automatic Operation with Float Switch
There's no need to manually switch the pump on and off every time the water level changes.
The included float switch automatically controls the pump according to the surrounding water level.
-
Water Level Rises: The float switch activates the pump when the preset switching level is reached.
-
Water Level Drops: The float switch switches the pump off when the water reaches the lower switching level.
This makes the pump particularly convenient for sumps, drainage pits and areas where water levels fluctuate.
Ideal Applications
-
Flooded Basements – Remove accumulated water from basements and underground areas.
-
Household Drainage – Drain dirty water from suitable domestic applications.
-
Industrial Drainage – Transfer dirty water in compatible commercial and industrial environments.
-
Drainage Pits & Sumps – Automatically remove collected water using the float switch.
-
Construction Site Drainage – Move water containing suitable suspended dirt and debris.
-
Water Transfer – Pump clean or dirty water between suitable locations.
-
Irrigation Drainage – Remove excess water from compatible irrigation and drainage systems.
-
Pools & Water Collection Areas – Drain water from suitable pools and collection points.

Understanding Flow Rate & Head Height
When choosing a drainage pump, it's important to understand that maximum flow rate and maximum head height are measured under different operating conditions.
-
Maximum Flow Rate (25,020 L/h): The highest stated water flow under low-resistance conditions.
-
Maximum Head Height (15m): The maximum height the pump can lift water, at which the flow rate approaches zero.
-
Rated Flow Rate (15,000 L/h): The stated operating flow rate at a rated head height of 10m.
Please Note: The pump will not deliver its maximum flow rate at its maximum head height.
Actual performance depends on the vertical lifting height, pipe diameter, pipe length and resistance from bends and fittings.
Installation & Important Information
-
Ensure the pump is correctly submerged during operation.
-
Allow sufficient space for the float switch to move freely.
-
Keep the pump inlet clear of oversized debris and obstructions.
-
Use suitable discharge piping with the 50mm outlet.
-
Do not use the pump for corrosive, flammable or chemically aggressive liquids.
-
Ensure the electrical supply and connections are correctly installed and protected.
-
Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature.
-
Regularly inspect and clean the pump to maintain efficient performance.
