Submersible water pump Makita PF0800 — 800 W, 13,200 l/h, 5 m max depth, 2 cm min water level

Makita PF0800 is a submersible clean-water pump with an 800 W motor and a maximum flow rate of 13,200 l/h (approximately 220 l/min). The unit is designed for water transfer and extraction tasks and can operate at immersion depths up to 5 m. With a minimum starting water level of 2 cm and a compact plastic housing measuring 168×160×340 mm, this pump is suitable for garden irrigation, construction dewatering and emergency water removal where a reliable, portable solution is required.

Advantages

The pump combines a high-capacity 800 W motor with a compact, lightweight plastic construction that supports easy handling and relocation. Its ability to start at a 2 cm water level enables extraction of nearly all residual water in sinks, pits or flooded areas. The maximum flow of 13,200 l/h provides efficient water removal while the design supports submersion to a depth of 5 m, offering flexibility for a range of tasks. The straightforward mechanical design simplifies maintenance and cleaning.

Suitable for

• Garden irrigation and water transfer between tanks or reservoirs
• Construction site dewatering of shallow excavations and trenches
• Emergency removal of flood or basement water
• Emptying ponds, sumps and small pools

How to use

Place the pump in the water with the outlet hose securely attached and fixed above the discharge level. Ensure the power cord and connections remain dry and undamaged before connecting to a suitable mains supply. The pump is designed to run submerged; start the unit once it is positioned at the required depth and confirm steady water flow through the discharge hose. For stopping, disconnect power before removing the pump from the water. Follow any local electrical safety regulations and use a residual-current device (RCD) where applicable.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged service life, avoid running the pump dry and remove coarse debris from the intake area to reduce wear. Use appropriate hoses and fittings rated for the pump's flow. Regularly inspect seals and the housing for damage and clean the impeller area if flow reduces. When storing, dry the pump and keep it in a frost-free place to prevent plastic and seal degradation.
