Submersible pump Fieldmann FVC 4001 EK — 230 V input, max immersion 8 m, max delivery height 8 m

Fieldmann FVC 4001 EK is a submersible water pump designed for domestic and garden use, suitable for moving clear or slightly dirty water. Powered from a 230 V supply, the pump features a 750 W electric motor capable of transferring up to 12 000 L/h. It supports a maximum immersion depth of 8 m and a maximum delivery (head) of 8 m. The unit is finished in black and green and includes an integrated float switch for automatic on/off control and adjustable level points.

Advantages

The pump delivers a high flow rate relative to its size, enabling efficient draining and water transfer tasks. Its float switch provides automatic activation and deactivation at preset liquid levels, and the switch can be adjusted to change those trigger points. The pump tolerates solids up to 35 mm in diameter, widening the range of suitable water types. Designed for straightforward use, it combines robust performance with compact dimensions for easy positioning and storage.

Suitable for

• Draining basements and cellars
• Emptying swimming pools and garden ponds
• Irrigation and garden water transfer
• Removing slightly dirty or debris-containing water from construction sites

How to use

Place the Fieldmann FVC 4001 EK in the water to the required depth, ensuring the pump is positioned on a stable surface and the float switch can move freely. Connect to a 230 V outlet using an appropriate power supply and check that the cable and connections are dry and intact before energising. The pump will start automatically when the liquid level reaches the float switch’s set activation point and will stop when the level falls below the set deactivation point. For manual use, adjust the float switch settings as needed to change the start/stop thresholds.

Usage recommendations

Operate the pump only in water types recommended (clear or slightly dirty water). Avoid pumping highly contaminated liquids, corrosive chemicals or very coarse solids beyond the specified maximum particle size. Regularly inspect the intake and float switch for debris that could restrict flow or prevent correct switching. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free place when not in use and disconnect power before maintenance.
