Flat Suction Pumps

Shallow suction pump - pumping down to a water level of only one millimeter

A flat suction pump is a special form of submersible pump. With the help of a drainage pump with anappropriate delivery head, water-filled basementsand underground garages, cisterns, wells and pools can bepumped out inno time at all.A submersible pump with shallow suction can be used as a cellar pump or garden pump. The fire department also likes to use a flat suction pump. With the flat suction pump, water can be pumped out quickly and easily down to a few millimeters. Since the flat suction pump is a submersible pump, depending on the model and depending on the maximum delivery head, the flat suction pump can be submerged very deeply into the water to be pumped out and then immediately start pumping. Depending on the water depth for which the shallow suction pump is intended, the pump can easily be sunk between five and seven meters deep. So there is no need for a lengthy installation of the shallow suction pump before you can start pumping. This is especially important when danger is imminent, as, for example, water could penetrate the building structure and thus damage it. In such situations, the flat suction pump must be able to be used as quickly as possible. As the name suggests, a shallow suction pump is capable of pumping out very low waters that are only a few millimeters high. Thus, the shallow suction pump can be put into operation before an excessive amount of water has accumulated. Especially if water has to be pumped off inside the house, this can be elementary to avoid costly consequential damage. With a high-quality flat suction pump, the operation can already be started when the water is still no more than one millimeter high. Conversely, the flat suction pump also leaves a water level of one millimeter at most. This explains why flat suction pumps are particularly popular as basement pumps or garden pumps. An inexpensive and less high-quality flat suction pump can also pump down to a very low water level, but usually not to a millimeter. The low water level to which a shallow suction pump can pump is the defining characteristic of such a pump. Although a shallow suction pump builds up only a low water pressure, the pump has an even higher maximum flow rate. Thus, a large amount of water can be pumped out per hour with the help of the submersible pump or the flat suction pump. If a large height difference must be overcome, the delivery height of the flat suction pump also plays a roller. However, a flat suction pump also has a decisive disadvantage compared to other pump models: as a rule, it cannot be used for dirty water or water that is mixed with solids. One exception to this is flat suction models, which are additionally equipped with a drainage mode and can therefore also be used as a regular drainage pump. However, the shallow suction pump cannot then pump the water down to one millimeter with this setting. The flat suction pump leaves behind a few centimeters of water in dirty water mode.

Aspects to consider when buying a flat suction pump

If you want to buy a shallow suction pump, you should first consider how often, how long and for what kind of water you want to use the pump. In addition, it is crucial to what water level you want to pump the water with the help of the flat suction pump. As already mentioned, not every drainage pump is able to pump water down to a millimeter level. The more water the flat suction pump leaves behind, the more time-consuming it is to mop up the remaining water by hand and the more valuable time is lost. When the pump is flat-suction, even the smallest amounts of water can be pumped up immediately. Furthermore, theflow rate of the flat suction pump is an important selection criterion when buying a flat suction pump. The more water you want to pump out in the shortest possible time with the flat suction pump, the higher the delivery rate of your new flat suction pump must be. After all, the pump should not only be flat-suction, so that as little water as possible remains behind, but the pumping process should also be able to be completed in a reasonable amount of time. When pumping out a cellar or cistern , themaximum delivery height to which the shallow suction pump can pump the water is also relevant. The height difference to be overcome must not exceed the maximum delivery head of the shallow suction pump. Since a drainage pump usually does not have a fixed place of use, but is always used where it is needed, it is advantageous to choose a model that is as light and handy as possible when buying a pump that works with a drainage pump. This allows you to transport the flat suction pump quickly and easily from one place to another. Your shallow suction pump has to perform well in use, but should of course still function perfectly for a long time. You are sure to enjoy a long service life with a robust flat suction pump that is as easy to maintain as possible . If you use the drainage pump in the private sector and are looking for a drainage pump that is as versatile as possible, models that work with shallow suction but are also equippedwith a dirty water mode and have a large delivery head are particularly interesting.
