Submersible sewage pump GEKO WQD 10-8-0.55 (model 81402)

The Submersible sewage pump GEKO WQD 10-8-0.55 is a compact, single-stage submersible unit with an integrated grinder designed for handling wastewater containing solids. Intended for draining basements, sumps and sewage pits, this pump combines a submerged electric motor with a cutting mechanism to reduce the size of solids and minimise clogging. The construction supports intermittent and continuous operation in residential and light commercial environments where reliable sewage transfer and dewatering are required.

Advantages

The integrated grinder reduces the risk of blockages by chopping fibrous and solid material before it passes through the impeller, improving reliability in mixed-waste applications. Its compact submersible design allows installation directly in pits or sumps, saving space and simplifying pumping system layout. The unit is built for straightforward maintenance and efficient operation at moderate flow and head ranges common to basement drainage and wastewater transfer tasks.

Suitable for

• Draining flooded basements and cellars
• Pumping from sewage pits and domestic sumps
• Sewage transfer in small commercial premises
• Dewatering construction or renovation sites with mixed debris

Key specifications

• Type: Submersible sewage pump with grinder
• Motor power: 0.55 kW
• Impeller: Single-stage, cutter-equipped
• Application: Wastewater containing solids and fibrous material
• Installation: Submerged in sump or pit
• Typical use: Intermittent or continuous pumping for residential and light commercial needs

How to use

Install the GEKO WQD 10-8-0.55 in a stable, level position inside the sump or pit ensuring the pump is fully submerged when operating. Connect the discharge hose or pipe to the outlet and secure electrical supply according to local regulations, using a suitable circuit and grounding. Before first use, check that the cutting mechanism and inlet area are free of large debris. Operate the pump within its intended duty range and monitor for unusual vibration or noise. For dry storage, clean the pump and allow it to dry before storing.

Usage recommendations

To maximise service life and reduce maintenance, avoid pumping large stones or metal objects, ensure the pump remains submerged during operation to prevent motor overheating, and perform periodic inspections of the cutter and impeller for wear or clogging.
