Product Information

Full details

This Draper submersible pump is ideal for homeowners needing to efficiently remove clean water from flooded areas like basements, pools, and hot tubs, or for transferring water for irrigation and garden features. Its key benefit is the automatic float switch that manages operation based on water level, though it's important to note it's designed for debris-free water and can only handle very small particles up to 3mm.

FAQs

What is the maximum depth the pump can be submerged?

The pump can be safely submerged up to 7 meters deep.

Can this pump handle dirty water with leaves and debris?

This pump is designed for clean water. It can handle very small particles like gravel and dirt up to 3mm wide, but not larger debris such as leaves or stones.

How does the automatic float switch work?

The float switch rises with the water level. When the water reaches a certain height, it turns the pump motor on. As the water level drops, the float switch lowers and turns the pump off.

What is the flow rate of the pump?

The pump has a maximum flow rate of 130 liters per minute.

Does the pump come with a hose?

No, the discharge hose is not included. You will need to provide a suitable hose compatible with the pump's outlet.

What warranty is provided with this pump?

This pump comes with the standard Draper 12 months parts and labour warranty.

How should I store the pump when not in use?

Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location. It's recommended to clean it with fresh water after each use before storage.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not start

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the 'off' position; try gently moving it. Verify the water level is high enough to activate the float switch.

Reduced water flow or pump stops intermittently

The intake screen may be clogged. Disconnect power, remove the pump from the water, and clean the intake area and the float switch. Ensure the discharge hose is not kinked or blocked.

Pump runs but does not pump water effectively

Check the discharge hose for blockages or kinks. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the float switch is positioned correctly to activate the motor. If the water source contains fine silt, it may be drawn into the pump and reduce efficiency; try relocating the pump to a firmer spot.
