Paddock Puddle Sucker Pumps

Description

The Paddock Puddle Sucker Pump is a low-level submersible dewatering pump designed to remove water down to approximately 1mm. Also known as a low-boy, dry-bottom or residue pump, this style of pump is ideal for draining flat surfaces where a standard submersible pump would leave a significant amount of water behind.

Suitable for basements, car parks, pits, tanks, pools and construction areas, these pumps combine high flow rates of up to 170L/min with up to 11m discharge head. Choose from the Paddock SPSP0530N or the Tsurumi LSC1.4S.

Low-Level Puddle Sucker & Residue Dewatering Pumps

• Draws water down to approximately 1mm
• Maximum flow rate up to 170L/min
• Maximum discharge head up to 11m
• 240V single-phase operation
• 25mm / 1" discharge
• Semi-vortex impeller design
• Handles solids up to 6mm
• Continuous-duty motor
• Thermal motor protection
• Anti-wicking cable entry
• Dual silicon carbide mechanical seals
• Vertical or horizontal discharge arrangement

Drain Water Down to Approximately 1mm

A conventional submersible pump often needs a significant water depth before it can continue operating. On a large flat area, even 30-60mm of remaining water can represent a considerable volume that must then be removed manually.

Puddle sucker pumps are designed specifically for low-level dewatering. Their intake arrangement allows them to continue drawing down until only approximately 1mm of water remains, making them especially useful where a surface needs to be left as dry as practical.

Ideal Applications

• Basements
• Car parks
• Construction sites
• Concrete slabs
• Pits and sumps
• Swimming pools
• Tanks
• Plant rooms
• Flood and stormwater cleanup
• General low-level dewatering

High Flow & Good Discharge Head

Both pump options deliver maximum flow rates of approximately 170L/min with discharge heads up to 11m.

This combination provides useful performance for quickly removing shallow water while still allowing discharge through hose to a suitable drainage point.

Designed for Ultra-Low Water Levels

The pump design allows discharged water to assist with motor cooling, helping the unit continue operating safely as the surrounding water level falls.

Integrated thermal protection provides an additional layer of protection by shutting the motor down if operating temperature becomes excessive.

Vertical or Horizontal Discharge

The 25mm discharge connection can be positioned vertically or horizontally using the two-bolt rotating outlet arrangement.

A vertical discharge is useful in narrow pits and confined spaces, while a horizontal outlet can help reduce hose kinking where water is being discharged away across the ground.

Durable Pump Construction

The pump incorporates a semi-vortex impeller along with dual silicon carbide mechanical seals, an oil-resistant power cable and anti-wicking cable entry design.

These features help provide reliable service in demanding drainage and dewatering applications.

Paddock or Tsurumi Options

The range includes the Paddock SPSP0530N and Tsurumi LSC1.4S. Both models offer similar hydraulic performance and low-level drawdown capability, with differences in physical size, weight and warranty.

Puddle Sucker Pump Specifications

Manual Operation

These models are manually controlled rather than float-switch operated. The operator should monitor the pump during use and switch it off when the dewatering task is complete.

Important: These pumps are designed for water and low-level dewatering applications. Do not use with flammable liquids, fuels or chemicals unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
