This automatic submersible pump features a specialized vertical float switch designed to manage float motion, significantly reducing the risk of snagging in tight installations. Its compact construction excels in domestic building services where space is limited, providing a dependable solution for lifting clean or slightly contaminated water from subsurface sumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReliable hydraulic performance is delivered by a 0.18 kW \/ 240v single-phase motor drawing a rated current of 1.6 Amps. The pump achieves a maximum flow rate of 133 L\/Min and reaches a maximum head of 7 m, providing efficient lifting capability for cellar dewatering systems. The asynchronous motor is rated for continuous S1 duty when fully submerged, ensuring operational stability during prolonged dewatering cycles when managing consistent fluid ingress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEfficient liquid handling is achieved through a single cast iron semi-vortex impeller designed to process wastewater containing suspended solids. The hydraulic configuration facilitates a free passage of 15 mm, allowing non-abrasive particles and some stringy materials to pass through the pump body with a reduced risk of blockage. This vortex design creates a centrifugal effect that moves solids away from the impeller blades, supporting dependable operation in residential sumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical durability is provided by a rugged cast iron hydraulic body combined with an industrial-grade coating for long-term corrosion resistance. Internal protection features a dual mechanical seal system and lip seal to isolate the motor from the pumped media, while the Class B insulated assembly includes an in-built auto-resetting thermal overload. The unit is rated for IP68 protection, supporting deep-immersion deployment up to 5 metres in confined pits and cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecialized vertical float switch reduces the risk of snagging in tight or restricted cellar installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaged float motion ensures reliable automatic operation with a switch-on level of 280 mm +\/- 10 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle cast iron semi-vortex impeller provides a 15 mm free passage for dirty water containing solids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual mechanical seals paired with an oil-bath lip seal provide redundant motor ingress protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact cast iron body with industrial coating ensures durability in restricted residential sumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous S1 duty asynchronous motor sustains thermal stability during extended dewatering tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-built auto-resetting thermal overload protector prevents electrical damage during heavy service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10m H07RN-F neoprene power lead ensures safe connectivity and high resistance to water ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bianco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50885974524151,"sku":"811130","price":411.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/bianco-b18vas2-ff-cast-iron-vertical-float-submersible-drainage-pump-for-cellars-with-semi-open-impeller.png?v=1782290328","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/bianco-b18vas2-ff-cast-iron-vertical-float-submersible-drainage-pump-for-cellars-with-semi-open-impeller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
