FAQs

What is the maximum particle size this pump can handle?

The pump has an adjustable setting for maximum particle size, allowing you to choose between 5mm, 15mm, or 35mm.

Can this pump be used for sewage or very thick sludge?

This pump is designed for clean and dirty water with suspended solids. It is not intended for sewage or highly viscous liquids like thick sludge.

How deep can this pump be submerged?

The pump can be submerged up to a depth of 7 meters.

Does the pump require supervision during operation?

No, the automatic float switch allows the pump to operate unattended by turning on and off according to the water level.

What is the warranty period for this pump?

This product comes with a 12-month parts and labour warranty from Draper.

What is the minimum water level the pump can achieve?

The pump is capable of pumping down to 1mm of water, making it suitable for puddle sucking.

Do I need to provide my own hose?

Yes, a suitable hose for connecting to the pump outlet is required and is not included with the product.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not turn on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the 'off' position.

Low water flow or pump stops frequently

Check the pump inlet and hose for blockages. Clean any debris. Ensure the pump is fully submerged according to its operating depth limits.

Pump not pumping water down to 1mm

Ensure the pump is positioned correctly on a flat surface and that the inlet is not obstructed. The 1mm capability is a minimum and may be affected by surface irregularities.

Float switch is not activating the pump

Verify the water level is high enough to trigger the float switch. Ensure the float switch itself is clean and can move freely.
