Product Information

Full details

This Draper Submersible Clean Water Pump is ideal for homeowners needing to efficiently remove debris-free water from flooded areas like basements, pools, and hot tubs. Its key benefit is the automatic operation and ability to pump down to a very low water level, with a potential caveat being its limitation to clean water, though it can handle very small debris. It also serves well for water transfer tasks such as irrigation and garden features.

Can this pump handle dirty water or debris?

While designed for clean water, it can handle small debris such as gravel and dirt up to 5mm wide. It is not suitable for heavily soiled or muddy water.

How low can the pump drain water?

The adjustable water level inlet allows the pump to pump water down to just 1mm.

Does the pump operate automatically?

What warranty comes with this pump?

What size discharge hose is recommended?

The product description does not specify a recommended hose size. Users should select a hose compatible with the pump's outlet fitting and suitable for the flow rate.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not turn on

Check that the pump is securely plugged into a working 230V power outlet. Ensure the float switch is not obstructed and can move freely.

Low water flow or no water discharge

Verify the discharge hose is not kinked or blocked. Check the pump's intake for any obstructions, such as debris or sediment. Ensure the water level is sufficient for the pump to operate.

Pump switches off and on frequently

This may indicate fluctuating water levels. Ensure the pump is positioned correctly and the float switch is set appropriately for the desired water level.

Pump is noisy during operation

Listen for any rattling sounds which might indicate debris inside the pump. Disconnect power and inspect the intake and impeller for obstructions. Avoid running the pump dry.
