Product Overview
The Ebara Optima M is a compact stainless steel submersible drainage pump designed for reliable removal and transfer of clean water in domestic and light-duty drainage applications. Manufactured from high-quality 304 stainless steel and reinforced thermoplastic components, the pump offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance when operating in wet environments.
This model features a semi-open impeller designed to efficiently move clean or lightly contaminated water typically found in basements, wells, tanks and drainage pits. The manual version (M) allows the pump to operate continuously when powered, giving installers full control over operation using an external switch or control system.
The pump is powered by a 0.25 kW single-phase motor with built-in overload protection and IP68 protection for safe submerged use. A carbon/ceramic mechanical seal within an oil-lubricated chamber protects the motor from water ingress and ensures long-term reliability.
Compact, durable and easy to install, the Ebara Optima M provides an efficient solution for domestic drainage, sump pumping and water transfer applications.
