Heavy Duty Submersible Centrifugal Water Pump with Float Switch

These high flow submersible water pumps are constructed with a stainless steel pump casing and tungsten alloy cutting impeller making them suitable for use with dirty fluids including light mud, sewage and even water containing small tree twigs and leaves.

These are one of the largest pumps we've been able to source which is capable of running from a standard household 10 amp plug socket. Available in two sizes, either 700 L/min from a 2" outlet or 1,170 L/min from a 3" outlet, these pumps are designed to move water fast and with ease. 

These pumps come standard with a float switch fitted. When the float is in the upright vertical position, the internal ball drops inside the float and closes the circuit to active the pump. When the fluid level drops the float changes its orientation and stops the pump. The length of the float cable can be adjusted via the integrated cable clamp to custom configure the on/off trigger points if desired. Some customers not wanting the float switch have reported success in simply zip tying the float switch in the vertical on position and this allows the pump to run continuously independent of fluid level. 

Each pump includes an Italian made silicon carbide mechanical seal ensuring reliable operation. The design allows for simple removal of the pump casing from the motor making maintenance a dream.

The pump is suitable for fresh, sewage or sea water*. Popular uses include water supply and disposal, home pressure pumping, irrigation, dairy, farming, fishery, residential pump, construction and building sites, sewage, grey water and flood management.

Submersible pumps rely on the fluid they're submerged in to cool the powerful motors. Unlike non submersible pumps there is no fan to blow cooling air over a finned motor. Therefore it is important to ensure the pump is not allowed to run for extended periods of time out of the water. The included float switch is configured such that the pump will turn off before the water level drops below the motor. When installing these pumps, ensure the pit is large enough that the float switch can not become jammed in the on position as this can lead to the pump running dry eventually overheating the motor. Each motor includes thermal cutout protection as standard to save the pump from damage if it was accidentally allowed to run dry.  

Submersible Pump Features:

• 5m lead with standard plug end
• Low Noise, smooth operation

*Long term use in sea water may lead to corrosion which is not covered by warranty. Whilst the pump will work with sea water it is not recommended for permanent installations in corrosive salt water environments. 

** Whilst the pump motor includes thermal cutout protection, this should not be used to control fluid level. Allowing the pump to run dry repeatedly only to over-heat and stop via the thermal cutout protection will significantly reduce the operating life of your pump and this type of damage is not covered under the products warranty. The pumps float switch should be used to control fluid level and this is configured such that the motor is always submersed and cool.
