Submersible pump BLAUPUNKT WP1601 — 1600 W, 20 000 l/h, max immersion 8 m, max head 10 m, 10 m cord

Submersible pump BLAUPUNKT WP1601 is a 1600 W electric unit designed for water transfer and drainage tasks in homes, gardens and small farms. The pump delivers up to 20 000 litres per hour, can be immersed to a depth of 8 m and provides a maximum delivery head of 10 m. It is powered from AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz and comes with a 10 m power cord. Compact housing in blue/grey with dimensions 220×180×370 mm and IPX8 waterproof rating allow safe use in full submersion for pumping clean and dirty water.

Advantages

The WP1601 combines a high-power 1600 W motor with a large flow rate suitable for rapid water removal. Thermal protection reduces the risk of motor overheating and overload, while an integrated float switch prevents dry running and automatically restarts the pump when water level rises. Its IPX8 protection and 10 m cord provide flexibility for deep or remote placement without additional accessories. Compact dimensions and a durable exterior simplify handling and storage.

How to use

Place the BLAUPUNKT WP1601 in the water to the required depth, ensuring the power cord reaches the supply point and the plug connection remains dry. Connect to a grounded AC 230–240 V power outlet. The float switch automatically controls operation according to water level; the pump can also be started or stopped manually if required. Monitor the pump during initial use to confirm stable operation and correct positioning. For pumping debris-laden water, position the inlet so large solids do not block the impeller.

Usage recommendations

Before each use inspect the power cord and housing for damage and ensure the float switch moves freely. Do not operate the pump out of water for extended periods. If pumping heavily contaminated water, periodically check and clear any debris from the inlet and impeller area to maintain flow rate. Store the pump in a dry place after cleaning and allow the unit to cool before long-term storage.
