Product information

A submersible pump is a sealed unit designed to operate fully submerged in liquid. It works by pushing water to the surface by pumping liquid through the impeller and out through the discharge pipework, making it an efficient solution for drainage, transfer and wastewater applications.

These systems are commonly used in pits, tanks, wells and underground chambers where water needs to be drained and transferred. A range of configurations is available, including automatic operation with float switches for level control and built-in shut-off protection. 240 V models allow for straightforward installation where standard power supply is available.

For more demanding environments, heavy-duty and stainless steel designs offer increased durability, corrosion resistance and long service life.

Each submersible pump set can be selected to suit specific flow rates, head requirements and site conditions, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Common applications include residential dwellings, pressure sewer systems, commercial developments, public facilities and remote sites without gravity sewer access.

SULZER ABS Piranha grinder pumps

Piranha grinder pumps are high-performance grinder pumps designed for efficient wastewater transport using small-diameter discharge pipework.

Equipped with advanced cutting systems and premium efficiency motors, these pumps effectively shred solids and fibrous materials, reducing the risk of blockages and lowering lifecycle costs. Their compact and robust design makes them suitable for both standard and hazardous environments.

These systems provide a reliable and economical solution for pressure sewer networks and applications where consistent performance is critical.

Common applications include residential developments, municipal wastewater systems, commercial facilities, food processing plants and industrial sites.

SULZER stormwater & effluent submersible pumps

Sulzer offers a wide range of submersible effluent pumps suitable for stormwater and effluent applications.

The range includes vortex, dewatering, propeller and mixed-flow pump designs, allowing selection based on flow rate, head requirements and solids content. These submersible water pumps are engineered for efficient performance in both low flow and high-volume applications.

Designed for durability and versatility, these systems provide reliable operation in demanding environments and can be configured to suit a wide range of site conditions.

Common applications include stormwater systems, effluent pump stations, irrigation, industrial process water, aquaculture and municipal water management.

SULZER XFP submersible pumps

The Sulzer submersible pumps in the XFP range are designed for municipal and industrial wastewater applications requiring high efficiency and reliable continuous operation.

Featuring premium efficiency IE3 motors and advanced hydraulic design, these pumps reduce energy consumption while maintaining strong solids handling capability. The Contrablock impeller design improves blockage resistance and ensures consistent performance in challenging wastewater conditions.

These industrial submersible pumps are built for long service life, minimal maintenance and efficient operation in high-demand environments.

Common applications include wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, industrial facilities, municipal infrastructure and large-scale commercial developments.

Working principle

A submersible pump operates while fully submerged in liquid, using a sealed motor to drive an impeller that pushes water to the surface.

Submersion
The pump is installed directly in the liquid being pumped.

Activation
Manual or automatic controls start the system.

Pumping
The impeller pushes water through discharge pipework.

Control
Float switches or sensors regulate operation.

Applications

Submersible pumps are used across a wide range of water transfer and drainage applications:

Residential – drainage, pits and basements requiring a compact submersible pump
Commercial – buildings, car parks and service areas needing reliable water removal
Industrial – sites requiring heavy-duty submersible pumps for continuous operation
Wastewater – sewage and effluent transfer using specialised pump designs
Stormwater – management of run-off in drainage systems and collection pits
Low-flow applications – situations requiring a low-flow submersible pump for controlled discharge.

FAQs

What is a submersible pump used for?

A submersible pump is used to transfer water, wastewater or other liquids from one location to another, particularly where the pump can be installed below the liquid level.

What are the advantages of a submersible pump?

They are efficient, quiet and reduce the risk of cavitation, as the pump operates while submerged.

Are submersible pumps available in 240 V?

Yes, 240 V pumps are available for standard electrical supply, making them suitable for many residential and commercial applications.

What materials are available?

Options include stainless steel submersible pumps for corrosion resistance and heavy-duty materials for industrial use.
