Product Overview
The DAB VERTY NOVA 400M is a compact technopolymer submersible drainage pump designed for domestic dewatering and drainage applications in confined spaces. Built with corrosion-resistant technopolymer components and a stainless steel motor casing and shaft, the pump provides reliable performance when handling clean or slightly dirty water containing small suspended particles.
Powered by a 0.4 kW (0.55 HP) single-phase motor, the VERTY NOVA 400M delivers up to approximately 180 litres per minute with a maximum head of around 9 metres. The pump features a vertical top discharge design and an internal float switch that enables automatic start and stop operation depending on the water level.
Its narrow body allows installation in small sump pits with minimum dimensions around 20 × 20 cm. The pump can handle water containing particles up to about 5 mm and can drain water levels down to a very low depth in manual mode, making it ideal for flooded basements, garages, pits and rainwater tanks.
