    Description

    1.3 kw Dirty Water Submersible Pump

    Powerful and Reliable Dirty Water Drainage

    Need a reliable pump to remove dirty water quickly and efficiently? The 1.3kW Dirty Water Submersible Pump is designed to tackle demanding drainage jobs, from flooded basements and drainage pits to industrial wastewater removal.

    With a powerful 1.3kW motor, maximum head height of 12 metres and a 2-inch outlet, this submersible pump is built to move large volumes of water efficiently.

    Its single-vane cutting blade impeller is designed to handle suspended solids up to 43mm, helping reduce the risk of clogging when pumping dirty water containing debris.

    The pump also comes with an automatic float switch and a 10-metre power cable, making it a practical solution for residential, commercial and industrial drainage applications.

    Why You'll Love It

    • Powerful 1.3kW Motor – Designed for demanding dirty water drainage and water transfer applications.

    • Maximum Flow Rate of 300 L/min (18,000 L/h) – Provides strong water movement for efficient drainage.

    • Maximum Head Height of 12m – Suitable for applications requiring water to be lifted to higher discharge points.

    • Handles Solids up to 43mm – Allows suspended solids to pass through, helping reduce the risk of blockages.

    • Single-Vane Cutting Blade Impeller – Designed to handle dirty water containing suitable suspended debris.

    • Automatic Float Switch – Automatically switches the pump on and off according to the water level.

    • 10m Power Cable – Provides convenient reach for suitable installations.

    • 2-Inch Outlet – Allows efficient water discharge through compatible pipework.

    • Submersible Design – Designed to operate while submerged in water.

    • Versatile Applications – Suitable for household drainage, industrial water removal and compatible wastewater applications.

    Built to Handle Dirty Water

    Not every water pump can handle dirt, sediment and suspended debris.

    The 1.3kW Dirty Water Submersible Pump features a specially designed single-vane cutting blade impeller that helps manage dirty water containing suspended solids.

    With the ability to pass solids up to 43mm, this pump is less likely to clog than pumps designed exclusively for clean water.

    It's a practical option for drainage applications where water may contain mud, dirt and other suitable debris.

    Automatic Drainage 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 water reaches the switching level.

    • Water Level Drops: The float switch switches the pump off when the water falls to the lower switching level.

    This makes it especially convenient for drainage pits, sumps and areas where water levels regularly fluctuate.

    Ideal Applications

    • Flooded Basements – Remove unwanted water from basements and underground areas.

    • Household Drainage – Drain accumulated 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.

    • Wastewater Removal – Pump compatible non-corrosive wastewater.

    • Water Transfer – Move clean or dirty water between suitable locations.

    • Floodwater Removal – Help clear accumulated water after heavy rainfall.

    Understanding Flow Rate & Head Height

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

    • Maximum Head Height (12m): The maximum vertical height the pump can lift water, where the flow rate approaches zero.

    • Rated Flow Rate (250 L/min): The stated operating flow rate under rated conditions.

    • Rated Head Height (10m): The specified operating head for the pump.

    Please Note: Maximum flow rate and maximum head height do not occur at the same time.

    As the water needs to travel higher, the available flow rate generally decreases.

    Pipe diameter, pipe length, bends and fittings can also affect performance.

    For the best results, always select a pump based on your required flow rate at the actual operating height.

    Installation & Important Information

    • Ensure the pump is correctly submerged during operation.

    • Allow enough space for the float switch to move freely.

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

    • Use suitable discharge piping with the 2-inch outlet.

    • Do not use the pump for corrosive, flammable or chemically aggressive liquids.

    • Ensure all electrical connections are correctly installed and protected.

    • Do not exceed the maximum liquid temperature of 40°C.

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

    Reliable Drainage When You Need It

    Whether you're dealing with a flooded basement, a drainage pit or demanding dirty water conditions, the 1.3kW Dirty Water Submersible Pump offers a powerful and convenient drainage solution.

    With its 1.3kW motor, 12m maximum head height, automatic float switch and ability to handle suspended solids up to 43mm, it's designed to make dirty water removal easier and more efficient.

    A practical choice for residential, commercial and industrial drainage applications.
