Submersible pump AWTools AW85017 — AWTools AW85017, weight 13.6 kg

AWTools AW85017 is a submersible water pump designed for removal and transfer of clean and dirty water, including sewage with suspended solids up to 30 mm. The pump has a cast iron housing and base with a powder finish and a hermetically sealed construction that allows continuous operation fully submerged. A built-in grinding system with a three-blade cutting knife reduces the risk of clogging, while an integrated float switch provides automatic on/off control. The unit weighs 13.6 kg, making it a compact and portable solution for drainage and dewatering tasks on construction sites, in basements, wells or pools.

Advantages

The AWTools AW85017 combines robust cast iron construction and powder coating for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. Its hermetic sealing ensures reliable submersion without water ingress to the motor, and the motor is protected by a thermal overload cut-out to prevent overheating. The built-in grinding system improves handling of solid-laden liquids and reduces maintenance caused by blockages. Automatic operation via the float switch increases convenience and helps prevent dry running or motor strain.

Suitable for

• Drainage of flooded basements and construction sites
• Emptying sumps, ponds and wells
• Pumping sewage and waste water with suspended particles up to 30 mm
• Changing water in swimming pools and hot tubs
• Pumping rainwater and site dewatering

How to use

Install the AWTools AW85017 fully submerged at the lowest practical point of the water to be removed, ensuring the float switch can move freely and is not obstructed. Connect the discharge hose or pipe to the pump outlet according to the pump's thread or coupling type, and route the hose to a suitable drainage location. Plug into a suitable power source following local electrical safety regulations and ensure any protective devices are in place. The pump will start and stop automatically as the float switch changes position; monitor the operation during initial use and check connections and seals for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use the pump to handle water containing solids up to 30 mm; avoid abrasive materials larger than specified. Regularly inspect the cutting system and housing for debris, and clear any accumulated material to maintain performance. Ensure the power supply and grounding meet local codes and avoid operating the unit in frozen conditions. Store the pump dry and clean after use and perform periodic checks of the float switch and thermal protection to ensure reliable operation.
