Pros and cons
- Stainless steel
- Ideal dirty water pump for around the house
- Excellent price-quality ratio
- Switches on/off automatically
- Drifting float, which may get caught behind things
This is a powerful submersible dirty water pump that can be used to process large amounts of dirty water/wastewater with solids up to 30 mm.
Water level
This pump is fitted with a float switch, which means that it switches on/off automatically based on the water level.
- Switches on automatically at a water level of 39 cm
- Switches off automatically at a water level of 20 cm
- In manual mode (fastening/raising the float), this pump drains water to a level of 5 cm.
If you are looking for a pump that leaves less water/switches on automatically sooner, you can opt for a submersible puddle pump.
Summary
- The hose that can be used for this device is 1.5" in diameter
- The pump is produced in Germany and is therefore robust and sustainable
- The pump's maximum submersion depth is 5 metres
- Fitted with a vortex impeller for processing mud and dirt

TIP
TIP is a German manufacturer, specialising in water pumps for consumers. They have a very interesting range of mainly Inox or stainless steel pumps, fully tailored to the consumer market. Their products range from high-capacity submersible pumps at highly competitive prices to good stainless steel borehole pumps for situations in which water needs to be pumped up from a level deeper than eight metres. Furthermore, TIP is very good at accommodating the consumer. For example, some pumps come with a kit designed to start up immediately, while others are fitted with handy features, such as a top outlet or a baseplate.
Stainless steel / Inox
In some situations, stainless steel, which is also called Inox steel, can be very handy, and is prescribed in particular with regard to drinking water. Drinking water must remain pure and may not contain corrosive elements, which is the reason that stainless steel is used. Furthermore, a stainless steel pump is also resistant to lime, which tends to stick to surfaces, but is not able to do so with smooth, stainless steel surfaces. Cast iron is usually the counterpart of stainless steel, but these pumps are prone to corroding and are therefore used mainly for irrigation. A final advantage of stainless steel is that it is lighter than cast iron and is therefore easier to move.
Float for automatic activation / deactivation
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.

Reviews of the Maxima 18000 Submersible Dirty Water Pump
Great pump
Great, solid-looking pump that will last me for years. Thank you for the speedy delivery.decent pump
Super fast delivery. Excellent price/quality ratio. One negative is that the float switch didn't respond as expected. In the end I had to cover it with two pieces of foam. It now works as expected.great pump
the pump works great. Extremely fast! Delivery was also very fast. Nothing but praise from me.DAB pump with built-in float switch
This is an excellent pump; high quality! The float switch can be easily cleaned without any additional tools, which is very convenient.Great service, excellent product
Immediate got a person on the line and no stupid music tape! Subsequently ordered the pump and received it the next day. Great service and a fine product. Highly recommended!Maxima 18000 Submersible Pump
I can highly recommend Waterpump.co.uk! Ordered the Maxima 18000 Waste Water Pump, which was delivery very quickly. Pump works as expected. I mainly use it in drainage pits, where the pump operates several times per hour to keep groundwater below the designated level.Maxima 18000 Submersible Dirty Water Pump
Ordered a Maxima 18000 Submersible Dirty Water Pump for draining excess water from a hole that was dug to create a pond. Delivered nicely on time and works great.Float not reliable
Nice pump, high flow rate. It is great that it also pumps small gravel. We use it to transfer the contents of an in-between reservoir into a settling tank. It's a disadvantage that the float is unreliable: when it goes up, you can hear the falling weight move, but the pump won't switch on. Result: a flooded in-between reservoir.Pleased
Browsed the entire Internet, and this pump is a real bargain. Very pleased with the pump and speedy delivery. Can only recommend it if a reasonable amount of water needs to be drained. I put it in a canal. Don't buy it if you only need to drain a few hundred litres a year from your pond.Nice pump
Pump muddy water with it twice a week. Great pump. Am very pleased with it.Good pump, good price
Very pleased, and everything works great!Perfect pump
This pump is adequate and delivery was super quick.Submersible pump
Speedy delivery and works greatSubmersible pump
Use it in my hot tub for mixing water so that the entire tub has the same temperature. It's a simple but efficient device.Submersible pump
Ordered on Friday evening, delivered next day at 3 p.m. Super quick. So far, the pump performs well, even at a height of 4 metres. It only starts at a certain height. A good price-quality ratio considering what other suppliers charge.Water well empty again
I'm very pleased with this water pump and surprised that it had drained my water well so quickly.For the moment, very pleased.
Reply from Waterpump.co.uk:
Dear Carl, thank you for your review. The pump has a maximum capacity of 18,000 litres per hour. That is to say, at a head rate of 0 m and a connected hose with an internal diameter of 1.5" of larger. Of course, you may always connect a thinner hose, but do bare in mind that this may result in a loss of capacity due to pipe resistance..
