Residential properties often face unexpected surface water accumulation requiring swift action. The Unilift CC5 - A1 is a submersible drainage pump designed for clean water drainage as well as storm water and grey water handling around the home. It is suitable for draining flooded areas, ponds and tanks, and other domestic drainage applications.
Powered by a 240V supply, the drive utilizes a 0.11 kW motor output (P2) drawing a rated current of 0.98 Amps. Designed for consistent drainage performance, it generates a maximum flow of 100 L/Min. The system evacuates standing water through its discharge connection options and achieves a maximum head of 5 metres.
Fluid handling is supported by a semi-open impeller designed for drainage duties. The hydraulic system permits the passage of particles up to 10 mm in size. By removing the strainer, the unit can pump water down to a residual level of just 3 mm, making it suitable for maintenance and clean-up applications.
Moulded from corrosion-resistant composite materials and incorporating stainless steel components, the pump is designed for long service life. Certified to IP68 standards, the unit is suitable for submerged installation, handles liquid temperatures up to 40°C and can be installed to depths of up to 2 metres. A built-in float switch provides automatic start and stop operation.
FEATURES
- Integrated motor cooling jacket permits extended operation whilst only partially submerged.
- Lightweight 4.51 kg construction allows portable or permanent installation.
- Corrosion-resistant composite body with stainless steel internal components.
- Top and side discharge connection options provide installation flexibility.
- Integrated non-return valve helps prevent backflow.
