Product Overview
Addressing the exact demands of residential fluid management, the DOC 3 Sump Pump c/w Float Switch offers a mechanical response to flooded environments. Deployed for emptying residential sump pits, steady hydraulic displacement is essential. The unit operates on a single-phase 240v supply, drawing 1.43 Amps to maintain extraction velocity.
Formed to withstand underwater exposure, the housing utilizes 304 Stainless Steel and Noryl polymers to resist abrasive elements. This layout minimizes degradation while achieving a manageable 4 kg net weight. The semi-open impeller processes wastewater containing suspended solid debris up to 10mm in diameter, reducing the risk of blockages.
Routing liquids through the volute, the assembly generates a maximum flow of 135 L/Min. The system achieves a vertical delivery limit evaluated at a 6.3 meter max head, pushing fluid outward via a 32 mm discharge port. It arrives pre-assembled with an integrated float switch and a 10 meter power lead for precise basin control.
Internal thermal overload protection governs the drive circuitry to prevent unsafe temperature spikes during emergency dewatering. The dry motor is cooled by the pumped liquid, utilizing the fluid medium to dissipate heat below the maximum 40°C limit. This active temperature management secures long-term structural longevity.
