A float ensures that your pump switches on and off automatically at a certain water level. This is very practical if you want to use the pump in frequently flooded spaces, because with a float the pump does not need to be switched on and off each time the space is flooded. If you want to use the pump manually, the float should be raised or secured with a piece of rope or tape.
At what water level does the pump switch on/off automatically when the float is used?
This submersible pump switches on automatically at a water level of 390 mm and off at a water level of 200 mm. To ensure that the entire space does not maintain a water level of 200 mm after the pump automatically switches off, the device is often placed in a sump pit. This ensures that the pump is situated lower in the space, so that the device continues pumping until a water level of 200 mm has been reached in the sump pit. In this way, the rest of the space is pumped practically dry, with only some water left in the pit.
This pump is suitable in the following situations: for draining a cellar and/or crawl space in a permanent setup, for example, to automatically drain a cellar/crawl space once the water level has been reached; for draining a basin for draining a swimming pool
Yes, this pump is supplied with all components required for direct use. The drain hose is equipped with the appropriate couplings that can be screwed onto the pump.
