Submersible sludge, drainage pump IP 1100

Product detailed description

This submersible sludge pump is commonly used in residential and light commercial settings for water removal tasks. Installers often deploy it in basements, garages, and small water tanks where occasional pumping of clean or lightly contaminated water is required. The pump is suitable for dewatering flooded areas, emptying swimming pools, and transferring rainwater from collection tanks. It is not intended for continuous or heavy-duty operation, making it ideal for intermittent use in environments where accessibility is limited or where corrosion resistance is essential.

Its compact dimensions (33 x 23 cm) and lightweight design (5 kg) allow for easy handling and placement in tight spaces. The adjustable discharge connection provides flexibility in system integration, and the 5 m power cable ensures sufficient reach for most installation scenarios. The pump operates on a standard 230 V supply and is designed for straightforward deployment without the need for complex electrical infrastructure.

The pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 250 l/min and a head of 9.5 m, which are key factors in determining its suitability for specific applications. The 5 m power cable allows for installation in locations where the pump may be placed at a distance from the power source. The 230 V supply is standard for most European electrical systems, ensuring compatibility with typical installations. The dimensions (33 x 23 cm) and weight (5 kg) are important for assessing transport and handling requirements.

Installation and connection

Installation begins with positioning the pump in the designated water source, ensuring it is fully submerged. The adjustable discharge connection should be aligned with the required pipe size using a suitable adapter. The pump’s 5 m power cable must be connected to a 230 V power supply via a properly rated circuit breaker. It is essential to verify that the electrical supply is stable and that the pump is not exposed to voltage fluctuations that could affect performance.

Common installation mistakes include incorrect alignment of the discharge port, which can lead to inefficient flow, and failure to ensure the pump is fully submerged, which may cause overheating. The pump should be placed on a stable base to prevent movement during operation. Before commissioning, the electrical connections should be inspected for tightness and insulation integrity.

Compatibility and accessories

The IBO IP 1100 is compatible with standard drainage systems and can be integrated with non-metallic piping due to its non-corrosive construction. It is recommended to use a pressure gauge or flow meter if precise monitoring of the system is required. Additional accessories such as a check valve may be necessary to prevent backflow in certain configurations. No specific related products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The IBO IP 1100 operates on a centrifugal pumping principle, where the impeller generates kinetic energy to move water through the system. The pump is constructed entirely from plastic, which provides resistance to corrosion and ensures longevity in environments with water exposure. The adjustable discharge port allows for integration with different pipe sizes, enhancing system flexibility.

The pump’s performance is influenced by the viscosity and particulate content of the pumped medium. It is designed for clean or slightly contaminated water and is not suitable for media with high solid content. The power cable length (5 m) and 230 V supply are key considerations for electrical system design. The pump’s compact size and lightweight make it suitable for installations where space is limited, but it should not be used in systems requiring continuous operation or high-pressure delivery.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the pump’s electrical connections and discharge port is recommended to ensure continued performance. The pump should be removed from the water source for cleaning if it becomes clogged with debris. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but the pump should be checked for wear or damage after extended use. The non-corrosive construction reduces the need for frequent maintenance, but it is important to verify that the pump remains fully submerged during operation to prevent overheating.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IBO IP 1100 be used for continuous operation?
No, the pump is designed for light-duty use and is not suitable for continuous or heavy-duty operation. It should be used intermittently in applications where the workload is minimal.

Is the discharge connection adjustable?
Yes, the discharge port is adjustable and can be adapted to different pipe sizes using a suitable adapter, allowing for flexible system integration.

Can the pump handle water with high particulate content?
No, the pump is intended for clean or slightly contaminated water. It is not suitable for media with high particulate content or large solids, as this may cause blockages or damage to the internal components.

What is the recommended power supply for the pump?
The pump operates on a standard 230 V supply. It is important to ensure that the electrical system is properly rated and that the pump is connected via a suitable circuit breaker to prevent overloads.
