Product Overview
The Ebara Optima MA is a compact stainless steel submersible drainage pump designed for automatic dewatering of clean water in domestic and light-duty applications. Manufactured with high-quality 304 stainless steel components and reinforced thermoplastic materials, this pump offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance for long-term operation.
The pump features a semi-open impeller design allowing efficient handling of clean or lightly contaminated water commonly found in basements, sumps, tanks and small drainage pits. The automatic float switch provides convenient hands-free operation by starting and stopping the pump as water levels rise and fall.

How does the pump start and stop as water levels change?
Rising water activates the OPTIMA_MA float switch and the pump starts automatically before stopping as the water level falls during normal drainage operation.

Clean or lightly contaminated water can be removed by the OPTIMA MA from domestic sumps and tanks using its semi-open impeller.
What supports safe submerged operation and straightforward electrical connection?
A 5 metre power cable with plug accompanies the OPTIMA-MA, and IP68 protection supports safe submerged operation in domestic drainage installations.
Which motor rating powers this unit for domestic drainage?
The OPTIMA/MA uses a 0.25 kW single-phase motor with built-in thermal overload protection to help protect the motor during drainage.
How is the motor protected against water entering the pump?
A carbon/ceramic mechanical seal sits in an oil-lubricated chamber within the OPTIMAMA to help protect its motor from water ingress.
