Description

Compact, Automatic Drainage for Dirty Water

 

The MAX PUMP 550W Mini Waste Submersible Water Pump is a versatile and compact solution for tackling smaller-scale dirty water drainage and transfer tasks. Powered by a 550W motor (or 0.55kW), this pump is designed to handle water containing small suspended solid particles (typically up to 15mm or 20mm). It is perfect for rapidly emptying flooded basements, draining swimming pool covers, or pumping out sumps and inspection pits.

As a submersible pump, it operates fully immersed in the water, offering efficient cooling. It is usually supplied as an automatic model, featuring an integrated float switch that allows the pump to start and stop automatically based on the water level. This prevents the pump from running dry and ensures hassle-free operation for both fixed and emergency portable use.

  Key Benefits
  • Mini Waste Capability: Designed for dirty water containing small solids (typically up to 15mm to 20mm).

  • Automatic Control: Features a float switch for automatic start and stop, preventing dry-running.

  • Compact and Portable: Small design and lightweight for easy deployment in tight spaces or for emergency use.

  • Efficient Power: 550W motor provides adequate flow and head for domestic drainage tasks.

  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  1. Can this pump handle sewage or raw effluent?

    • No. This is a waste or dirty water pump designed for small solids. Pumps capable of handling raw sewage (faeces) are generally classified as Submersible Sewage Pumps and require a specialized grinder or vortex impeller for larger solids.

  2. Does the float switch need to be set up manually?

    • The float switch is usually pre-wired. For automatic operation, you must ensure the float has enough room to swing up and down freely between the high water (on) and low water (off) levels.

  3. Does the pump require priming?

    • No. Submersible pumps operate by being submerged directly in the liquid, so they are naturally primed and ready to run once submersed.
