Submersible Drainage Pump PD Series Features Powerful performance Stainless Steel Shaft Perfect sealing with double mechanical seal and oil seal. Thermal protection Applications General drainage with solids (sold size: under strainer suction bone) Drainage for small fountain and artificial water falls Drainage for agriculture and horticulture Description. DC submersible pumps, made of cast iron of considerable thickness, with exceptional strength, abrasion resistance and durability, are recommended for draining off clean water or slightly dirty water. They stand out for their robustness and reliability in fixed installations with automatic operation. The drainage pump is used for draining pits and deep roadway underpasses, as well as for dewatering basements and courtyards subject to a flooding risk or groundwater. It is usually started automatically via float switches. For most average-sized homes in areas with average water tables, a 1/3 HP sump pump should be sufficient. Typically, 1/3 HP pumps can handle 7' – 10' vertical lifts from the sump pit if they have one 90-degree elbow and a horizontal pipe run between 3 feet and 25 feet. Typically a sewage pump is required to handle larger solid particles, whereas a sump pump or drainage pump is used for pumping clear waters. In short, a sewage pump is designed to handle sewage and pump it into the mains sewer, whereas sump pumps handle excess water to prevent flooding.
