The DAB NOVA180A is a compact technopolymer submersible drainage pump designed for domestic dewatering and light drainage applications. Constructed with a corrosion-resistant technopolymer pump body, impeller and suction grille along with a stainless steel motor shaft, the pump offers durable operation and reliable performance when handling clean or slightly dirty water in residential environments.
Powered by a 0.22 kW (0.3 HP) single-phase motor, the NOVA180A delivers up to 80 litres per minute with a maximum head of approximately 5 metres. The pump features a rigid arm float switch that automatically starts and stops the pump depending on the water level, making it ideal for unattended drainage tasks such as sump pits, flooded basements, rainwater wells and small tanks.
Designed for both fixed and portable installation, the NOVA180A can handle small solids up to about 5 mm and includes built-in thermal motor protection for safe operation. Its lightweight and compact design makes it suitable for emergency water removal, residential drainage systems and general household dewatering tasks.
