How do Submersible Pumps work?
Submersible pumps works differently than garden transfer pumps or pressure pumps, in that they do not need to be connected to their water source. They are simply submersed into the water and work by pumping that water through a hose to an external source.
The on / off operation is controlled by either an adjustable float switch or a level sensor, depending on the model. When these come into contact with water, the pump is turned on. The submersible pump range can also be changed to non-stop pumping mode is desired.
The Kärcher range can drain water right down to 25mm - 35mm deep.
Where can I use my Submersible Pump?
Flooded Houses
Houses can become flooded for a number of reasons. Appliance and plumbing leaks and also torrential rain can cause a great deal of internal damage to the house due to flooding which needs to be dealt with quickly.
Kärcher's submersible pumps are great for both draining the flooded areas and being kept handy just in case floods do occur.
Draining Pools
Pools around the home need to be drained at times when water needs to be replaced, broken glass is in the pool or even if the pool is being removed or filled.
Submersible pumps are the most efficient way of draining the pool. They are simply submersed into the water so it can be pumped out via the hose. Depending on the volume of water, most pools can be fully drained in just a few hours.
Draining Ponds
Like pools, ponds need to be drained if water needs to be replaced or if the ground is being refilled.
Kärcher's submersible pump range can also be used to pump dirty water as they have filters to prevent clogging - so ponds are easily drained.
Pits around building sites
Builders can often encounter problems when pits around their site have been filled with water due to overnight rain.
The Kärcher range of submersible pumps can quickly drain these flooded pits, preparing them for work.
