Product Information
Full details
The Mac Allister MD&CWP400 is a versatile 400W submersible pump designed for effectively removing both clean and dirty water, capable of handling particles up to 25mm. Ideal for homeowners dealing with flooding, garden ponds, or basement sumps, its key benefit is its dual-purpose capability and robust particle handling. A potential caveat to consider is its suitability primarily for domestic, non-continuous use.

FAQs
What is the maximum particle size this pump can handle?
The Mac Allister MD&CWP400 is designed to handle particles up to 25mm in diameter.
Can this pump be used for continuous operation?
This pump is intended for domestic use and is not designed for continuous, heavy-duty professional applications. Monitor usage to prevent overheating.
Does it come with a hose?
Typically, the pump itself does not include a discharge hose. You will need to purchase a compatible hose (usually 1" or 1.5") separately.
How do I clean the pump after use?
After unplugging, rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water, paying attention to the inlet and impeller areas to remove any trapped debris.
Can this pump be left submerged unattended?
While designed for submersion, it's advisable to monitor the pump during operation, especially for extended periods, to ensure it functions correctly and to prevent potential issues.
What kind of water can it pump?
It can pump both clean water and dirty water containing solid particles up to 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Pump not turning on
Check that the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the pump is not airlocked. Verify the power supply.
Low water flow or no discharge
Ensure the inlet is not blocked by debris. Check the discharge hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the pump's inlet screen and impeller area.
Pump cycles on and off rapidly
This could indicate a low water level or an air leak in the system. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the hose connection is secure.
Excessive vibration or noise
Debris may be caught in the impeller. Disconnect power and carefully clean the impeller area. Ensure the pump is sitting on a stable surface.
