Key highlights of submersible drainage pumps

  • Versatile usage: Suitable for draining flooded areas, extracting water from natural sources, and managing water supplies.
  • Solid handling: Capable of pumping water with solids up to 10 mm in size, ensuring effective performance in challenging conditions.
  • Prevents backflow: Equipped with non-return valves to protect against backflow and potential damage.
  • Flexible operation: Available in models that can work both fully submerged or on dry surfaces, depending on the application.

Submersible drainage pumps are essential for efficient water management across a variety of applications, from residential maintenance to industrial operations.

What is a Submersible Drainage Pump?

A submersible drainage pump is a highly efficient device designed to remove water from a specific area, whether it’s a building, basement, or outdoor space. These pumps are built with a powerful motor and impeller enclosed in a waterproof casing, allowing them to operate while fully or partially submerged in water. By spinning the impeller, the motor creates suction that efficiently moves water through the pump and out through a discharge pipe.

Key applications of submersible drainage pumps

Submersible drainage pumps are versatile and can be used in a variety of situations, including:

  1. Draining flooded areas: Ideal for removing water from flooded basements, cellars, and other waterlogged spaces.
  2. Managing water supplies: Useful for extracting water from lakes, rivers, and natural water sources for various needs.
  3. Cleaning water with solids: Capable of handling water containing solids up to 10 mm in size, making them suitable for tasks that involve dirt, sediment, or debris.
  4. Reducing groundwater levels: Effective for reducing groundwater or controlling levels in construction sites and agricultural areas.
  5. Pumping groundwater: Useful in situations where groundwater is needed for drinking, irrigation, or firefighting.
  6. Draining wastewater: Suitable for wastewater removal, including water from bathrooms, kitchens, or industrial settings.
  7. Swimming pool maintenance: Ideal for draining water from swimming pools for cleaning or maintenance.

Versatility and Reliability

Submersible drainage pumps can be used in both clean and dirty water conditions, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications. Many models come equipped with a non-return valve that prevents backflow, protecting the pump and the surrounding area from potential damage. Additionally, while some pumps are designed to work only when fully submerged, others can operate effectively even when placed on a dry surface.

Important Considerations

When choosing a submersible drainage pump, it’s essential to consider factors like water cleanliness, the size of solids in the water, and the required pumping speed. Different models are built to handle different scenarios, ensuring that you can find the right pump for your specific needs.

I first used Pump Technology Ltd, leading up to the London Olympics. They sized and supplied duty standby submersible sewage pumps and a control panel for a pumping station servicing the site services and offices for Morrison Construction during the long build of the Olympic facilities. During this period the reliability of the pumping station was faultless, impressive considering the site environment they were servicing. I continue to find the assistance from the experienced team at Pump Technology Ltd, invalid, solving pumping problems and matching pumps and control panels to provide reliable pumping systems that I am confident in supplying and installing
