Submersible Pumps

Submersible pumps move water (and, when rated, solids) right from the source—pits, basins, crawl spaces, window wells, and lift stations. Shop clear-water utility pumps for cleanup, sump/effluent pumps for basements and septic dosing, and solids-handling sewage or grinder pumps for bathrooms and lift stations.

Shop by type

• Utility / dewatering: clear water, flood cleanup, covers & window wells; low-level “puddle” options available
• Sump: basement/crawl space drainage; vertical or tethered float control
• Effluent: septic dosing and gray water; many handle up to 3/4" solids
• Sewage (solids-handling): 2" solids rating for residential lift stations
• Grinder: macerates waste for long runs or small-diameter force mains
• Packages & basins: pre-assembled simplex/duplex systems, basins, lids, checks, and alarms

Quick choosing guide

1. Define the job: cleanup → utility; basement → sump; septic dosing → effluent; toilet waste → sewage or grinder (for long runs/high head).
2. Size by GPM & head: estimate total dynamic head (vertical lift + friction). Pick a pump whose curve meets your required GPM at that head.
3. Solids rating: choose 3/4" for effluent, 2" for sewage; grinders list head rather than solids size.
4. Power & discharge: verify voltage (115/230V), amperage, and discharge size (1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2").
5. Control: automatic (float/diaphragm) for pits; manual for spot pumping; add alarms for protection.
6. Materials: cast-iron or stainless for longevity/heat dissipation; thermoplastic for lighter duty.
