Ideally suited for residential sewage disposal and wastewater handling, this compact submersible pump provides a reliable solution for household septic pits. It is designed to manage sewage and wastewater where space is limited but effective fluid movement is critical. The unit operates efficiently when submerged in collection sumps or small household basins.
Providing a maximum flow rate of up to 240 L/Min, this pump is optimized for consistent performance in domestic transfer tasks. It generates a maximum head of approximately 6 m, utilizing an efficient 0.37 kW electric motor that runs on standard 240v single-phase power. These performance characteristics make it suitable for residential sewage transfer and wastewater disposal applications.
Liquid handling is managed by a set-back vortex impeller that creates a 40 mm free passage for organic solids and sediment. By maintaining an open flow path through the pump housing, the vortex design prevents clogging and reduces the mechanical strain on the motor when dealing with wastewater. This hydraulic design maintains reliable wastewater handling while minimizing the risk of clogging during normal operation.
The pump features a compact EN-GJL 250 cast iron body that provides high structural strength and long-term reliability in wet installations. Mechanical protection is provided by a dual sealing system including a silicon carbide seal and lip seal. The motor features integrated thermal protection and a float switch for automatic level control up to 40°C.
