Draining flooded basements or garages requires a compact, manual solution like this submersible unit. Designed for fixed domestic applications or portable emergency use, it excels at lifting water from tanks, excavations, or pedestrian subways. The manual operation mode allows for precise control in shallow water conditions, supporting a minimum draught depth of just 8 mm for thorough evacuation of surface water in residential and hobbyist environments.
Providing reliable hydraulic output, the 0.22 kW single-phase motor operates on a 240v supply at 1.5 Amps. This configuration achieves a maximum head of 6.6 m and a peak flow rate of 200 L/Min, ensuring efficient transfer for domestic gardening and emergency drainage tasks. The asynchronous motor is rated for continuous duty when fully submerged, maintaining thermal stability and consistent volumetric performance during prolonged dewatering cycles.
Hydraulic efficiency is centered on a technopolymer impeller designed for clear water or dirty water containing small suspended solids. The suction grid facilitates the free passage of particles up to 5 mm in diameter, preventing blockages in flooded garages or hobbyist excavations. Because the pump handles solids without fibers, it remains a dependable choice for emptying swimming pools or fountains where surface debris and fine sediments are present.
Structural durability is anchored by a hydro-resistant technopolymer pump body and suction grid coupled with a stainless steel motor casing and shaft. A threefold seal with interposed rings and an oil pre-chamber protects the motor against liquid ingress, while permanently lubricated oversized ball bearings ensure low noise and extended service life. Integrated thermo-amperometric protection safeguards the Class F insulated motor, ensuring longevity in residential service.
