Product description
DAB is one of the best-selling brands of water pumps for consumers as well as for professionals. These pumps adhere to a very high standard of quality, with each pump being tested manually by a staff member before it is put on the market. This is the only way DAB can guarantee that you obtain the absolute best. They have a solution regarding almost any situation, whether it involves an industrial application or simply spraying a garden. DAB's professional quality is also reflected in its consumer line. The DAB pumps we replace for people are usually over ten years old.
This submersible pump is fitted with a float, which ensures that the pump is switched on and off automatically. Each pump has its own variables relating to the level at which the pump switches on or off. Robust wastewater pumps usually have a high level of activation and deactivation. They will start operating relatively late and stop relatively soon, unlike puddle pumps, which switch on sooner and switch off later. Check the pump's specifications for these variables. There are three types of floats: a floating one, which is attached to a cable; a float arm; and an integrated float. The first type needs more space because it may float in any direction, while the float arm needs less space, as it only moves up and down, and generally has higher operational reliability. Finally, there is the internal float, which is integrated in the pump and therefore needs the least space. We see these internal floats mainly in puddle pumps, because they need to operate in small spaces.
Great sustainable dirty water pump. Excellent performance in a semi-continuous setup in my cellar's sump pit.
The sump pit in which my previous pump was situated is quite narrow. The cabled float drifted in all directions, so it frequently got stuck. DAB has a solution for this − a float arm. This pump works perfectly, and so far I'm really pleased with it. Highly recommended for those who recognise this problem. Here's the model number: Feka 600 MA SV.
The pump has a large capacity, which works great in practice. Dirty water/mud is no problem at all, but it can get clogged up with plant residue (pond bottom). That is logical, and securing a strip of filter foam around the outlet turned out to be the solution. Then everything worked fine again. Excellent pump and great price-quality ratio.
