Grundfos Unilift CC 5 Submersible Puddle Pump

With the Grundfos Unilift CC you will be able to tackle a large number of pumping jobs with a low suction height, because it pumps both clean and slightly dirty water. The pump can be used to make the floor mop dry, because it can be converted into a puddle pump. The combined use of composite materials and stainless steel makes the pump very reliable and solid. The innovative self-venting valve in the handle prevents air from getting trapped in the pump. The pump also has a non-return valve on the delivery side, which may prevent water from flowing back into the pump body.

Various models

This Unilift CC series comprises three models, ranging from the CC 5 with a pump capacity of 6,000 litres to the CC 9 with a pump capacity of 14,000 litres per hour. Because of the semi-open impeller, the pump can process solids up to 10 mm in diameter. The stainless steel strainer filter prevents larger particles from entering the pump. This Grundfos Unilift CC is supplied with an adapter/hose socket, and therefore fits on 3/4”, 1” or 1 1/4” hoses/connectors. To convert the Grundfos submersible pump into a puddle pump, you just need to detach the stainless steel suction strainer. This is very easy and makes the submersible pump suitable for draining very low to 3mm. This user-friendly, sustainable Grundfos Unilift CC submersible pump can be used for a wide variety of pumping jobs in and around the house or business premises:

• Water and rainwater in the agricultural sector
• Water from rivers and lakes
• Rain, drainage, and flood water
• Water to fill/empty containers, ponds, tanks, etc.
• Water from showers, washing machines, and sinks below sewer level
• Swimming pool water
• Ditch drainage water
• Groundwater (reduction)
• Effluent from viaducts, underpasses, etc.
• Drainage water from sprinkler systems in garages.

Water level

This pump is not fitted with a float switch, which means that it does not switch on/off automatically based on the water level. This submersible pump removes water to a level of 3mm.

If you are looking for a pump that switches on automatically, you can opt for a submersible puddle pump with a float, such as the Grundfos Unilift CC 5 A1 or the DAB Nova Up 300 M-AE.

Pump mop dry (submersible utility pump)

This pump is a puddle sucker. Not every submersible pump is a submersible utility pump or puddle sucker. If you're experiencing flooding and want to pump a room until it's 'dry', you need a submersible utility pump. Some pumps can even pump down to a water level between 0 and 1 mm. Usually, such pumps are used in basements or crawlspaces. Groundwater can well up and flood your house or garden. These pumps offer the perfect solution. A submersible utility pump can be used in two ways. If it has a float switch, the pump can pump water out down to a level of about 4cm. Only in its manual setting, can the submersible utility pump continue to pump until the area is 'dry'. You will need to switch off the pump manually when it's no longer taking in water. This is important, as the pump cools itself with the water it pumps. In order to prevent damage, a pump can therefore only pump to a 'dry' level in manual mode.

Grundfos

Grundfos is one of the largest pump manufacturers in the world. They have a big piece of the industrial market, and for good reason. For decades, they have delivered the best possible quality. It is for this reason that many systems and situations these days use Grundfos pumps. Do not be surprised if you see your central heating system is equipped with a Grundfos circulation pump. Grundfos was originally a Danish company that has now expanded to many countries around the world and gained a considerable market share. In addition to central heating pumps and industrial products, Grundfos also sells a number of irrigation/booster pumps and they have a range of very robust and high-quality submersible pumps.
