Submersible sludge, drainage pump IP 900

Product detailed description

This submersible sludge pump is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where temporary water removal is required. Installers often deploy it in basements, garages, and similar areas to extract water after flooding or heavy rain. It is also suitable for draining swimming pools or transferring rainwater from collection tanks. The pump operates on a standard 230 V supply and is designed for intermittent use, making it a practical solution for non-continuous water management tasks.

The IBO 900 is typically installed in sumps or shallow water accumulations where access is limited. Its lightweight design allows for easy handling and positioning in tight spaces. The pump is not intended for heavy or continuous operation, so it should be selected based on the expected frequency and volume of water to be removed. It is not suitable for highly abrasive or fibrous media due to its construction and intended use.

The maximum flow rate of 235 l/min and a head of 9 m define the pump's capacity for moving water over a short vertical distance. The 5 m cable length allows for flexible placement relative to the power source. The dimensions (34x23 cm) and weight (4.6 kg) are relevant for assessing space requirements and handling during installation. These parameters are essential for determining whether the pump meets the hydraulic needs of the specific application.

Installation and connection

The pump should be lowered into the water using a secure method to prevent accidental displacement. The DN discharge can be adjusted using a coupling, allowing for compatibility with different pipe sizes. The 230 V supply requires a dedicated circuit with appropriate protection, such as a residual current device (RCD). The 5 m cable should be routed safely to avoid damage from water or mechanical stress. Common installation mistakes include using the pump in unsuitable media or failing to secure it properly, which can lead to inefficient operation or mechanical failure.

Compatibility and accessories

The IBO 900 is compatible with standard plumbing systems and can be connected to discharge pipes using the adjustable DN coupling. Additional components such as check valves or filters may be required depending on the application. No specific accessories are included with the pump, so installers should assess the need for supplementary items based on the system configuration and media being pumped.

Technical background for designers

The IBO 900 operates using an electric motor driving an impeller to create a flow of water. The entire pump is constructed from plastic, which provides resistance to corrosion and makes it suitable for environments where rust is a concern. The design is intended for light-duty use, and the materials are selected to ensure durability under non-continuous operation. The pump's performance is influenced by the viscosity and cleanliness of the water, as well as the depth and positioning within the water source. Proper integration into the system requires consideration of the hydraulic load and the pump's intermittent operation profile.

Service and operation

The pump requires minimal maintenance due to its simple design and plastic construction. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear or blockages. The discharge coupling should be checked for secure connections. No specific service intervals are provided, but the pump should be removed and inspected if performance declines or if it has been used in particularly dirty conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IBO 900 be used in a sump with solid particles?
The pump is suitable for clean or slightly contaminated water only. It is not designed for media with large solid particles or fibrous material.

Is the IBO 900 suitable for continuous operation?
The pump is intended for intermittent use and is not designed for continuous or heavy-duty operation.

Can the discharge coupling be replaced with a different size?
The adjustable DN coupling allows for connection to different pipe sizes, but the specific compatibility should be verified with the manufacturer's technical data sheet.

What type of electrical protection is required for the IBO 900?
The pump should be connected to a circuit with appropriate electrical protection, such as a residual current device (RCD), to ensure safe operation.
