Submersible Pumps
Buy Submersible Pumps
Submersible Pumps are a practical buy for dewatering sumps, flooded basements, below-ground excavations, and any application where the pump needs to operate fully submerged. Unlike surface-mounted pumps, submersibles eliminate priming issues and can pump from much lower levels — making them more effective in confined or deep dewatering situations. Wenbro stocks submersible options across a range of flow rates and head capacities to suit different site requirements. For surface dewatering and water transfer, our Water Pumps are the standard choice, and for sumps with solids or debris content, our Trash and Waste Pumps provide solids-handling capability. All units are maintained in-house.
Frequently Asked Questions
What applications are Submersible Pumps best suited to?
Submersible Pumps are well suited to sump dewatering, basement flooding, underground excavation drainage, and situations where the pump must operate below the water surface or where surface access for a standard pump is restricted. Their sealed design allows continuous submerged operation without motor damage risk.
Can Submersible Pumps handle solids and debris in the water?
Standard clean-water Submersible Pumps are designed for relatively clear water and are susceptible to damage from significant solids. For sumps with silt, debris, or waste material, a solids-handling Trash and Waste Pump is the appropriate choice.
What power options are available for Submersible Pumps?
Submersible Pumps are typically electrically driven. On sites without grid power, a Generator is required to provide the power supply. Ensure the generator output matches the pump’s motor start-up and running current to avoid overloading. Call 087 073 7777 for sizing guidance.
How deep can a Submersible Pump operate?
Most construction-grade submersibles are rated for depths of 5–20 metres, while borehole submersibles can operate at considerably greater depths. Operating depth depends on the pump model, cable length, and housing pressure rating. Confirm the required operating depth with Wenbro before selecting a model.
Does Wenbro service Submersible Pumps after purchase?
Yes — all Submersible Pumps purchased through Wenbro are supported by in-house servicing including seal inspection, motor testing, and impeller maintenance. Seal integrity is critical for motor protection on submersibles — regular servicing is essential. Call 087 073 7777.
