Submersible dirty water pump GEKO 400W model 81401 with float switch

The Submersible dirty water pump GEKO 400W model 81401 with float switch is a compact pump designed for removal and transfer of contaminated, turbid or sediment-laden water. Built with a plastic housing and an integrated float switch, this GEKO pump provides automatic start/stop operation and is intended for applications where larger solids or particulate matter may be present in the fluid.

Advantages

This 400W submersible pump combines a corrosion-resistant plastic body with an integrated float switch for hands-free operation. Its construction tolerates debris and small solids, reducing the need for pre-filtration in many drainage tasks. The compact design and moderate power consumption make it suitable for temporary or permanent installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Basement and cellar drainage after flooding or leaks
• Construction site dewatering and removal of turbid water
• Emptying garden ponds, pools and water features with silt or leaves
• Rainwater drainage from low-lying areas and channels

Key specifications

• Power: 400 W
• Fluid type: contaminated, turbid or sediment-laden water
• Housing material: plastic
• Integrated float switch for automatic on/off control
• Debris-tolerant design suitable for small solids

How to use

Install the GEKO 400W pump by placing it on a stable surface within the fluid to be removed, ensuring the float switch can move freely and is not obstructed. Connect a suitable discharge hose or pipe to the outlet and route it to a proper drainage location. Connect the pump to a grounded electrical supply that matches the pump's rated voltage and switch the power on. The integrated float switch will automatically start and stop the pump as the water level rises and falls. After use, disconnect power, remove the pump from the water, and inspect the impeller area for lodged debris before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the pump for liquids containing suspended solids and avoid pumping corrosive chemicals, flammable liquids or muddy slurries that exceed the pump's intended solids-handling capability. Regularly inspect and clean the intake area and impeller to maintain performance. Ensure electrical connections are dry and protected and follow local safety regulations for electrical equipment in wet environments.
