Description
The Sump Buddy automatic 230v submersible pump (code 020-096) is a plug-in drainage pump for sumps, cellars and around the home. It pumps up to 135 litres per minute and reaches a maximum head of 8 metres from a 0.4 kW motor, drawing 1.7 A from a standard 13 A socket.
It switches itself on and off with a built-in sliding tubular float, which rises and falls inside its own guide rather than swinging on a cable. That makes it a good choice for small sumps, where a cable float can catch on the side walls. When you need to drain lower than the float allows, switch it to manual and it runs until you turn it off.
It has a 1½″ outlet, weighs 5 kg, and comes with 10 metres of cable and a 3-pin plug, so there is nothing to wire. For dirty water with larger solids, look at the vortex impeller pumps in the Vort Buddy range.
