Cord length: Connecting multiple cords to create an electrical connection within a wet environment can pose serious safety issues. Make sure to get a float switch with enough cord length.

Compact dimensions. Manual-automatic switch. Continuous operation. Low level pumping. Integrated float switch. Moisture sealed cable inlet. Submersible pumps can be used for a range of applications. Single stage pumps (one impeller) are used when working with sewage pumping, industrial pumping, drainage, pond filters and effluent pumping. Multiple stage (multiple impellers) they are typically positioned in a borehole, and will generally be used for domestic, business and industrial water abstraction, water wells and oil wells (to create “artificial lift”). They can also be used in seawater uses, firefighting, well drilling, offshore oil drilling rigs, sewage treatment plants and irrigation systems. The delivery head indicates how many metres the submersible pump is able to pump up water through a discharge hose/tube. It is based on a wide discharge hose/tube with as little resistance as possible. This type of water refers to slightly clouded water that contains sand or other small solid particles, which should not be larger than about 10 mm. Examples include water in a flooded cellar, bathwater, and rainwater mixed with road dirt. Submersible pump for clean water- suitable mainly for domestic, garden, and kitchen situations.

Sliding float switch: allows you to choose the pump's automatic activation level from about 10 cm. Perfect for small spaces. Double walled motor housing design, for effective cooling and low thermal rise, resulting in longer service life If you want to ensure that the submersible pump switches on automatically at a specific water level, you can opt for the DAB Nova Up 300 M-AE. This submersible puddle pump has a sliding float switch on its side, with which you can determine an activation level ranging from 8.5 cm to 25.5 cm. This submersible pump has the lowest automatic activation level, and is therefore very versatile. High capacity The Ebara BEST ONE MS is a popular, high quality submersible drainage pump with a magnetic float switch allowing it to operate automatically in sumps as small as 200x220mm.

This sump pump with vertical float is great for dirty water transfer, grey water, household waste water, septic systems, sump draining, pool emptying, sullage pumping and storm water systems. Internal: ensures that the pump switches on automatically at a water level of about 12-13 cm. Perfect for small spaces.

When to use a submersible pump?

If possible, dig or cut a hole in the ground/floor surface, preferably at least 10 cm deep and with a diameter of about 21 cm.
