Questions

1–10 of 12 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. how far will the outlet pump water? will it pump water up a hill?

    1 answer

    1. This pump has a maximum vertical lift of 39.5 feet. That is also the maximum total head for the pump.

      Helpful?

  2. Can the pump be completely submerged in 10 ft of water

    1 answer

    1. This pump could be submerged in 10 feet of water. It is equipped with a 20 ft. cord and has a maximum vertical lift of 39.5 ft.

      Helpful?

  3. Is there an adapter which can be placed on the intake to use a hose rather than being submged in water if the water is shallower than the 3"

    1 answer

    1. There is no inlet adapter available for this model to connect a hose for water intake in place of submerging the pump.

      For temporary use with clean water only, the bottom strainer/base of the pump can be removed to help reduce the remaining water level. However, this configuration should be used only temporarily and only with clean water. Extra care should be taken to prevent debris, sediment, or other contaminants from entering the pump, as doing so could cause damage to the unit.

      Helpful?

  4. Can this pump be used to pump oily waste water from a pit for a lube shop?

    1 answer

    1. This pump is primarily designed for general dewatering applications, including water, rainwater, groundwater, and water containing sand or mud. It is not intended for use with oil, lubricants, or petroleum-based liquids.

      If the wastewater pit contains only minimal oil contamination and the pump is operated for short periods only, temporary use may be acceptable. However, the pump must be thoroughly flushed and cleaned with clean water after each use to remove any oil residue.

      Helpful?

  5. Is the impeller plastic or metal 

    1 answer

    1. This pump has a cast iron impeller.

      Helpful?

  6. What is the length of the power cord?

    1 answer

    1. This pump has a 19.69 ft. long power cord.

      Helpful?

  7. Can this pump be connected to a VFD so that the output I can control the discharge up to 100% and down to 70%. Thank you

    1 answer

    1. This pump is equipped with a single-phase induction motor. The use of a VFD with a standard single-phase motor is not recommended, as it may lead to overheating, capacitor failure, or reduced motor lifespan. If the discharge needs to be adjusted, we recommend using a manual ball valve on the discharge side to regulate the flow.

      Helpful?

  8. can i reduce the output pipe down to 3/4 inch and how do i release excess pressure for irrigation

    1 answer

    1. Although it is possible to reduce the output pipe to 3/4", this modification may increase back pressure, reduce flow, and place additional stress on the motor. If this reduction is required, maintain short tubing and avoid elbows or constrictions to minimize performance loss caused by pipe resistance.

      A check valve on the discharge line would help prevent backflow and pressure cycling. Otherwise, a bypass/relief valve offers an alternative route for excess water to prevent system overpressure.

      Helpful?

  9. What is the required minimum depth of water for it to operate? For example, how low can it drain an open ditch with standing water?

    1 answer

    1. A water level of 3.93" (10cm) is suggested to ensure proper pumping.

      Helpful?

  10. The specifications list shipping weight as 13.5 LBS. and the produce weight to be 28.3 LBS. Pumping a pool cover cannot use a heavier pump. What is the actual weight?

    1 answer

    1. The shipping weight of this pump is 30.43 lbs. The actual weight of the pump is 28.3 lbs.
