Submersible Pump Makita PF0800

The Makita PF0800 submersible pump is a compact, utility-class water pump designed for moving large volumes of water in domestic and light professional settings. It is driven by an 800 W electric motor and delivers a maximum pumping capacity of 13,200 litres per hour. The pump is enclosed in a durable plastic housing in black and blue, engineered for use at immersion depths up to 5 metres and able to operate with water levels as low as 2 cm, making it suitable for dewatering shallow areas as well as deeper sums.

Advantages

The Makita PF0800 combines high flow rate with a relatively small footprint, providing efficient water removal where space is limited. Its plastic construction reduces weight and corrosion risk while maintaining structural durability. The ability to function at a minimal water depth of 2 cm allows near-complete draining of basins and shallow flooded areas. Designed for straightforward electric operation, the pump offers stable performance across a range of domestic and light-duty applications.

Suitable for

• Draining flooded cellars, garages and basements
• Emptying garden ponds, pools and water tanks
• Construction site dewatering and removal of accumulated water
• Temporary water transfer for irrigation or cleaning tasks

How to use

Place the Makita PF0800 on a stable, level surface within the water to be removed and ensure the power cable and plug remain dry before connecting to a suitable electrical supply. Verify that the water depth meets the minimum operating level of 2 cm and does not exceed the maximum immersion depth of 5 m. Position the outlet hose or connection so that discharged water flows away from the pump and the working area. Switch the pump on and monitor operation; avoid running the unit dry. After use, disconnect the power, remove the pump from the water, drain residual water, and store the unit in a clean, dry place.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, inspect the pump for debris or sediment before use and ensure the outlet is free of kinks. Use appropriate electrical protection (residual-current device) and a grounded supply. Avoid pumping water with large solids or abrasive materials that exceed the pump's intended use. Regularly rinse and dry the pump after contact with contaminated water to prolong service life.
