The Grindex Milli-1 Low Suction Portable Submersible Drainage Pump is a compact and reliable pump designed for low-level drainage applications where water needs to be removed down to very shallow depths. Built with Grindex’s proven Swedish engineering, the Milli-1 is ideal for construction sites, maintenance work, cleaning applications and emergency dewatering.
Unlike standard drainage pumps, the Milli-1 features a low suction design capable of pumping water down to just a few millimetres, making it perfect for flat surface drainage such as basements, pits, floors and construction slabs.
The pump uses a durable open polyurethane impeller designed to handle dirty water containing small abrasive particles commonly found on worksites. A double mechanical seal system running in an oil chamber protects the motor from water ingress and ensures long-term operational reliability.
With its compact footprint, lightweight construction and ergonomic carry handle, the Milli-1 is easy to transport and install. Built with corrosion-resistant aluminium components and a stainless steel shaft, this pump provides dependable performance for professional dewatering tasks.
