Automatic wastewater management in residential and light commercial environments is simplified with the DAB-FEKAVS550MA submersible wastewater pump. Equipped with an integrated float switch, this unit automatically responds to changing liquid levels in pits, tanks and drainage systems. Its construction is intended for handling wastewater and rainwater where suspended solids may be present, providing dependable operation in applications requiring minimal operator intervention.
Performance is supplied by a 0.55 kW single-phase motor operating on a 240v power supply with a rated current of 4.2 Amps. The pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 330 L/Min and develops a maximum head of 7.4 m, providing effective transfer capability for wastewater removal and site drainage duties. Automatic level control supports efficient operation during periods of fluctuating liquid ingress while maintaining consistent hydraulic performance.
The hydraulic system utilizes a stainless steel vortex impeller engineered to process wastewater containing suspended solids. With a free passage capability of up to 50 mm, the design allows larger particles to pass through the pump without restricting flow. This configuration reduces the likelihood of blockage and supports reliable operation in wastewater transfer applications where debris may be present within the pumped media.
Structural durability is provided by a stainless steel AISI 304 pump body that offers excellent resistance to corrosion in demanding drainage environments. The submerged motor assembly is designed for reliable service, while the integrated automatic float mechanism provides hands-free operation. A 2" BSPF discharge connection allows straightforward installation into wastewater pipework and drainage infrastructure.
