Description
The Pentair Flotec VIP 130/6 Automatic (code 020-072) is a 230v submersible drainage pump with a float switch, moving up to 130 litres per minute and lifting water up to 6 metres. It has a 320 W power input and a 1¼” male outlet.
The tethered float switch starts the pump as the water rises and stops it at about 150 mm, so it can be left in a sump to empty it whenever it fills. It is the same pump as the VIP 130/6 Manual, which has no float and pumps lower but needs someone to switch it off. If water comes in faster or has further to rise, step up to the VIP 180/7 Automatic.
The pump body is polypropylene, which keeps the weight down and will not rust, and the motor shaft has a ceramic sleeve where it wears. The pump draws 230v single-phase power, comes with 10 metres of cable, and can be submerged to a depth of 7 metres. A carry handle on top lets you lower it into a pit or lift it out, and the 1¼” male outlet takes the hose connector supplied.
