Product Overview
Pond drainage, pit evacuation, and rainwater harvesting systems require pumps that combine corrosion resistance with adequate flow capacity for efficient water transfer. The Zenit DRSTEEL55MA is a 0.55 kW submersible drainage pump constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, suitable for stormwater dewatering, pond drainage, and rainwater collection applications. The internal cooling system allows operation even when partially submerged, and a standard float switch provides automatic level control.
Performance specifications include a maximum head of 12.4 metres and a maximum flow of 300 L/Min, driven by a 240V single-phase motor drawing 4.3 Amps. The 0.55 kW motor operates at 2900 rpm, providing consistent performance across the operating range. These characteristics suit medium-flow dewatering applications where corrosion resistance is essential.
The open channel impeller design provides a free passage of 12 mm for solids, with the impeller manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. The multi-channel configuration maintains hydraulic efficiency while handling minor debris common in stormwater and pond drainage applications. The hydraulic system is constructed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel for consistent corrosion resistance.
Construction consists of an AISI 304 stainless steel casing and impeller with a chrome-nickel steel lifting handle. The sealing arrangement uses three mechanical seals with food-grade oil lubrication, including a double seal in the oil sump and a V-ring seal. Motor protection includes Class F insulation, IP68 rating, thermal protection, and a capacitor. Cable length is 10 metres with Shuko plug, and the unit weighs 7.7 kg.

How does the hydraulic design accommodate debris?
Stainless-steel hydraulics in DRSTEEL55MA use a multi-channel open impeller with 12 mm passage for minor debris during pond drainage and pit evacuation.
What maximum flow and head can this model reach?
Maximum flow is 300 L/Min and maximum head is 12.4 m for DRSTEEL55MA, driven by a 0.55 kW motor for pond and pit drainage.
Can the pump cool its motor when partly submerged?
Even when water levels drop, DRSTEEL55MA uses internal liquid recirculation to cool its motor during partial submersion and drainage from collection pits.
What construction materials are used in this model?
AISI 304 stainless steel forms the casing of DRSTEEL55MA, and its rotating assembly also uses an AISI 304 stainless steel shaft.
What cable is provided for electrical connection?
The supplied 10 metre cable and Shuko plug on DRSTEEL55MA support connection to its specified single-phase power supply at the intended installation point.
