Submersible water pump Gardena 9017-47 — 550 W, 0.9 bar, 20,000 l/h, max delivery height 9 m, IPX8

GARDENA Submersible Water Pump 9017-47 is a compact dirty-water drainage pump with a 550 W AC motor designed for rapid removal of large water volumes. The unit delivers up to 20,000 l/h at a maximum operating pressure of 0.9 bar and a maximum delivery height of 9 m. Constructed to IPX8 protection class with a robust H05 RNF power cable and stainless steel pump shaft, this model fits garden, construction site and emergency floodwater drainage tasks. Dimensions are 166 × 231 × 325 mm and the housing is black. The pump includes connections for 25 mm (1") and 38 mm (1 1/2") hoses and a floating switch with locking function for continuous operation.

Advantages

The pump combines a high flow rate with a relatively compact footprint, enabling fast drainage of ponds, flooded cellars or construction pits. Its stainless steel pump shaft and sturdy housing increase durability during repeated outdoor use. The floating switch protects against dry running and provides automatic on/off operation at preset water levels, while the locking function allows continuous operation when needed. IPX8 protection and a reinforced power cable make the unit suitable for permanent submersion during normal use.

Suitable for

• Emptying garden ponds and water features
• Removing floodwater from basements and cellars
• Draining construction site pits and trenches
• Temporary drainage for outdoor cleaning and maintenance

How to use

Place the pump fully submerged in the water to be drained on a stable, level surface. Connect the appropriate hose to the delivered connection (25 mm or 38 mm) and route the discharge to a suitable drainage point. Plug the power cable into a correctly rated outlet. The floating switch will activate the pump automatically when the water reaches the switch-on level; use the locking function to set continuous operation where required. Monitor the pump during operation and avoid running it dry. After use, disconnect power, lift the pump from the water and clean the intake and discharge connections to remove debris.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the intake area free of large debris and check the hose connections for leaks. Use the 38 mm connection for higher flow demands and the 25 mm connection where higher discharge pressure is needed. Store the pump in a dry place and rinse off coarse sediments after each use to prolong service life.
