What is the difference between a drain pump and a sewage pump?

A drain pump is designed for clean or slightly dirty water, for example basements and flooding. A sewage pump is built for raw sewage and wastewater, and has a grinder mechanism to break down solids before pumping.

How deep can these submersible pumps be installed?

Our standard drain pumps can be immersed up to 50 m. The WQAS grinder sewage pump is rated for installation up to 10 m below the waste fluid level.

Do these pumps come with a float switch?

Yes, the VXM series drain pumps have a built-in float switch for automatic operation. The commercial grinder pumps may need an external control panel, depending on the setup.

Do you deliver drain pumps across South Africa?

Yes, we offer courier delivery throughout South Africa. Delivery usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Contact us for a shipping quote.
