About Sump, Water-Removal, Condensate, and Submersible Pumps

Compact Water-Removal Pumps

Also known as bilge pumps, these remove fresh and salt water from spots where other pumps don’t fit. They have an internal sensor, so they turn on when they detect water and turn off when the water is removed. Pumps are fully submersible. They are gravity fed and require an elevated liquid source to fully fill the pump before turning on. Do not run dry.

Pumps for 12 volts DC work with 12-volt batteries. Pumps with an ABS housing have a battery cable connector.

Pumps for 120 volts AC and pumps with an acetal housing are for use in debris-free water.

High-Flow Water-Removal Pumps
with Replaceable Float Switch

These pumps have a powerful motor that provides more than twice the flow rate of standard water-removal pumps to quickly remove large volumes of liquid. The float switch has a separate cord that can unplug, so you can replace the switch without replacing the whole pump. A top-discharge design routes water through the pump to cool the motor. Pumps are gravity fed and require an elevated liquid source to fully fill the pump before turning on. Do not run dry.

Install 1/3 horsepower pumps in water that’s at least 2" deep.

Install 1/2 horsepower pumps in water that’s at least 4" deep.
