Demanding drainage duties and water transfer applications require equipment that combines reliable hydraulic performance with durable construction. Acting as a versatile submersible drainage pump, the Unilift KP.250.M.1 is designed for clean water drainage, storm water handling and grey water applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it suitable for domestic drainage duties and light industrial installations where dependable water removal and long-term corrosion resistance are important requirements.
The upgraded electrical foundation utilizes a 0.25 kW (P2) motor powered by a standard 240V single-phase supply while drawing a rated current of 2.2 Amps. Designed to deliver strong hydraulic performance, the system generates a maximum flow rate of 187 L/Min through its 1¼ inch discharge connection. The hydraulic design simultaneously achieves a maximum head of 7.5 metres, providing efficient water transfer performance across a broad range of drainage and water removal applications.
Water movement is managed by a semi-open impeller specifically designed for drainage duties. The hydraulic passage permits the transfer of particles up to 10 mm in size, making the pump suitable for handling water containing small suspended solids commonly encountered in storm water and grey water applications. Working together with the stainless steel strainer, the pump can reduce water levels down to approximately 100 mm, helping maximise the volume of water removed during operation.
Manufactured using stainless steel components in contact with the pumped liquid, the pump offers excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. Featuring an IP68-rated enclosure, the unit is suitable for submerged installation depths of up to 2 metres and supports liquid temperatures up to 50°C. This manual version is supplied without a float switch, allowing operation through external controls or manual switching where automatic level control is not required.
