It handles clean and slightly cloudy water, with solids passage up to 10 mm. This pump is user-friendly for various applications, including draining flooded basements, rooms, or cellars, and can also be used for emergency flooding situations or emptying swimming pools, fountains, and reservoirs. The integrated float switch provides automatic operation based on water level, turning on at 28.5 cm and off at a lower level. The Nova submersible pump series is also suitable for emptying tanks and features a durable construction with a technopolymer pump body, impeller, and suction grille. It offers liquid suction down to 8 mm and a 1-minute dry-running capability. The motor is of continuous service type, with a stainless steel casing and shaft for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Single-phase versions include built-in thermal protection.
The DAB NOVA 300 M-A Submersible Pump is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts needing efficient water transfer for irrigation, domestic supply, or emergency dewatering. Its key benefit lies in its automatic operation and ability to handle slightly cloudy water with solids up to 10 mm, making it versatile for various tasks. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for clean to slightly cloudy water, not heavily soiled applications.

FAQs
What type of water can this pump handle?
The DAB NOVA 300 M-A is designed for clean water and slightly cloudy water with suspended solids up to 10 mm in diameter.
How does the automatic operation work?
It features an integrated float switch. The pump automatically turns on when the water level reaches approximately 28.5 cm and turns off when the level drops below a certain point, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention.
Can I leave the pump running unattended?
Yes, the automatic float switch allows for unattended operation for tasks like draining. However, always ensure the pump is properly positioned and the discharge hose is clear.
What is the minimum water level the pump can achieve?
The pump can draw water down to approximately 8 mm from the surface, allowing for a more thorough emptying of areas.
What maintenance is required?
Regularly clean the suction grille to prevent blockages. After use, rinse with clean water, and store in a frost-free, dry place when not in use. Ensure the float switch moves freely.
What does the 1-minute dry-running capability mean?
It means the pump can operate for up to one minute without water before potential damage occurs. It's a safety feature to prevent immediate burnout if water runs out, but it should not be operated dry for extended periods.
Is this pump suitable for sewage or heavily soiled water?
No, this pump is intended for clean to slightly cloudy water. It is not suitable for sewage, heavily soiled water, or abrasive liquids.
Troubleshooting
Pump not starting
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Verify the water level is above the pump's activation point (around 28.5 cm). Ensure the float switch is not obstructed and can move freely.
Low water flow or pump stops intermittently
Inspect the suction grille and impeller for blockages (hair, debris, leaves). Clean thoroughly. Ensure the discharge hose is not kinked or blocked.
Pump runs but doesn't pump water
Check for air leaks in the discharge hose connection. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and has sufficient water to prime. The pump might be air-locked; try removing it from the water, submerging it, and then restarting.
Pump switches off too quickly
The water level may be too low for the float switch to maintain operation. Ensure the water level is sufficient to keep the pump submerged and operating for a reasonable duration. Check if the float switch is set correctly for the desired water level.
