Product Information

Full details

The GARDENA Clear Water Submersible Pump 20000 BASIC is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts needing an efficient solution for water removal from tanks, pools, and flooded areas. Its key benefit is powerful performance of 20,000 l/h with a wipe-dry result, achieving a water residue of just 1mm, all at an affordable price point. A potential caveat is its basic functionality, making it suitable for clear water applications rather than those with significant debris.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum pumping depth?

The pump is designed to be submersible. For optimal performance and longevity, it should be placed on a stable base at the bottom of the water source, and the maximum immersion depth should not exceed manufacturer recommendations (typically around 7 meters).

Can this pump handle dirty water or water with small stones?

This model is designed for clear water. While it might handle very small particles, it is not recommended for water with significant amounts of mud, sand, or debris, as this can lead to clogging and damage.

What size hose can I connect to this pump?

The pump comes with connections suitable for both 25mm (1") and 38mm (1 1/2") diameter hoses.

How do I set up the automatic function using the floating switch?

The floating switch automatically adjusts to the water level. Ensure it has enough clearance to move freely. For continuous operation, you can tie the float switch in an 'on' position, but always monitor the pump to prevent it from running dry.

What is the warranty period for this pump?

Please refer to the product manual or Gardena's official website for the most up-to-date warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

How much water residue does the pump leave behind?

The GARDENA Clear Water Submersible Pump 20000 BASIC is designed to leave a very minimal water residue of approximately 1mm.

Troubleshooting

Pump not turning on

Check if the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the floating switch is not stuck and is free to move. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

Low water flow or pump not moving water

Check the intake for blockages from debris. Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked. The water level might be too low for the pump to operate effectively.

Pump cycles on and off rapidly

This may indicate the water level is fluctuating around the float switch. Adjust the position of the pump or the settings of the float switch if applicable to maintain a consistent water level.

Pump makes unusual noise

Turn off the pump and unplug it. Check the impeller area for any foreign objects. Ensure the pump is submerged in water, as running it dry can cause damage and noise.
