Submersible pump ideal for transference of dirty water Perfect for ponds with large gravity-fed filter systems Capable of handling suspended solids up to 20mm in diameter Two sizes available to meet different demands Adjustable float switch for ease of operation 1-year guarantee on all parts and labour The Stuart Turner Submersible Supervort Pump range has been specifically designed to facilitate the transference of dirty water from one location to another. Ideally suited to ponds with large-gravity fed systems, the Supervort is available in two sizes to meet differing needs in terms of head height and flow rate. Both units have been designed for space efficiency and ease of installation, as well as featuring an adjustable float switch to allow manual operation with the minimum of fuss. Constructed from polypropylene and plastic, the pump is fully submersible and capable of handling dirty water up to 35°C in temperature. For best results, it is recommended that the pump be incorporated into an existing gravity-fed filter and can be submerged to a depth of 7m. Although the pump is equipped to deal with solids in suspension of up to 20mm in diameter, it is highly recommended that the user installs adequate protection to ensure that only water enters the unit. The pump comes in two different sizes. The Supervort 140A is, as the name suggests, capable of handling a flow rate of up to 140 litres per minute and reaching a maximum head height of 5m. Meanwhile, the Supervort 240A can take as much as 240 litres per minute and achieve a maximum clearance of 7.4m, meaning there is a solution for all situations and circumstances. The latter is slightly heavier than the former (weighing in at 5.4kg in comparison to 4.2kg), while both have been designed to be space-efficient at just 260mm x 158mm x 334mm in size. Both units are operated by an induction motor with auto-reset thermal trip safety features, and both are powered by a 240V / 50Hz power supply. What’s more, both Supervort models are incredibly easy to install and come equipped with a 10m power cable and an external adjustable floating switch, so you can operate the unit remotely even when it has been submerged. Finally, every purchase comes with a one-year guarantee from the manufacturer on all parts and labour, affording you peace of mind and assurance as to the reliability and longevity of this superb product. Quiet Operation Submersible pumps operate with very little noise due to being submerged. The water absorbs most of the sound that the pump produces and the completely sealed unit takes care of the rest resulting in an extremely quite pump. Will Never Overheat The fantastic thing about submersible pumps is that you don’t have to worry about them overheating. This is because the pump is submerged in water which keeps the pump cool preventing the motor from overheating. Convenient and Portable Submersible pumps generally have a small, lightweight build with most having a convenient built in carry handle to allow for easy transportation between projects. Resistant to Corrosion Submersible pumps are constructed from materials which are highly corrosion-resistant (such as stainless steel) and go through a vigorous sealing process for protection. The pumps are hermetically sealed to prevent the inside from being exposed to oxidation or any corrosive materials, preventing any damage to your pump. Electric powered Submersible pumps are powered by electric, so all you need to power your pump is an electric outlet. Most pumps come with a long power cord (some as long as 16 metres!) to ensure you always have access to power especially for deeper submerging. Covers Large Distances Compared to the suction method, submersible pumps use direct pressure through their hose/pipe to drain the water. This method is much more effective as it covers a larger distance and uses a lot less energy. Drain Unwanted Water: If you live in an area that is prone to flooding, then a submersible pump is an excellent way of draining away any water that shouldn’t be there. A popular residential area that a submersible pump is used in is a cellar, whilst builders use submersible pumps to drain foundations so  that they are clear and ready for building on!
