Submersible pump AWTools AW85018 — 15.5 kg weight, model AW85018

The AWTools AW85018 submersible pump is designed for reliable water removal and transfer in a range of on-site and domestic applications. Constructed with a cast iron housing and base with a powder finish, the unit is hermetically sealed for continuous submerged operation and includes an ergonomic handle for transport. The pump integrates a built-in grinding system with a three-blade cutting knife and a float switch for automatic on/off control, making it suitable for handling water containing solids up to 30 mm.

Advantages

Cast iron construction with a protective powder coating provides mechanical durability and corrosion resistance for demanding environments. The hermetically sealed design ensures safe submerged operation while the built-in motor thermal overload cut-out protects the motor from overheating. The integrated grinding system reduces the risk of clogging when pumping dirty or sewage water, and the float switch enables automatic operation without continuous supervision. An angle adapter allows flexible hose connection to different diameters for varied site setups.

Suitable for

• Draining flooded basements, cellars and low-lying premises
• Emptying sumps, pits, wells and ponds
• Pumping sewage, waste water and dirty water with suspended solids up to 30 mm
• Water transfer on construction sites and for temporary dewatering
• Changing or draining water from swimming pools and hot tubs

How to use

Place the AWTools AW85018 on a stable surface within the water to be removed, ensuring the unit remains fully submerged according to the manufacturer's guidance. Connect an appropriate hose to the outlet using the angle adapter to match the hose diameter, and secure the connection. Plug in the pump to a suitable power supply, observe that the float switch activates the pump automatically when the liquid level reaches the switch threshold, and monitor the initial operation to confirm proper discharge and absence of leaks. Allow the pump to run until the desired water level is reached; the float switch will stop the pump automatically when the level falls below the cut-off point.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid running the pump dry and ensure that the pumped medium does not contain particles larger than 30 mm. Regularly inspect the cutting knife and intake for debris, check seals and cable condition, and clear the float switch from obstructions. Use appropriate hoses and connections rated for the pump's flow and pressure. If pumping heavily contaminated or abrasive liquids frequently, consider scheduled maintenance to preserve the cast iron finish and cutting components.
