Pumps chosen from real-world experience, not a catalogue

floodandwaterpumps.co.uk is part of Flood Protection Solutions Ltd, an engineering-led flood risk business that surveys, designs, installs, and maintains PFR schemes on real properties across the UK. The pumps listed here have not been selected from a supplier catalogue. They are the pumps our own engineers and surveyors have specified, installed, and serviced on site, refined over many years of seeing what actually performs when water arrives.

How to choose a pump for property flood resilience

How to choose a pump for property flood resilience

Good PFR is led by three considerations weighed equally: the construction of the property, the flood risk it faces, and the client's goals and budget.

A solid concrete floor allows different solutions to a suspended timber floor over a crawlspace.

A property at risk of river flooding has different needs to one affected by groundwater seepage or surface water ingress. And the right specification on paper is only the right specification if it is something the homeowner will actually use, maintain, and trust when water arrives.

The right pump also depends on whether the wider PFR strategy is passive or active.

Passive measures (automatic airbricks, non-return valves, automatic flood barriers, and automatic sump pumps) protect the property without anyone needing to be present.

Active measures (deployable barriers, demountable door guards, and manual puddle pumps) require the occupant to be there and to act.

Most well-designed PFR schemes combine both, and the pump specification follows the strategy: a passive scheme calls for an automatic pump or a packaged station, while an active scheme can use a manual puddle pump deployed at the time of need.

The pumps in this collection cover the full range of PFR scenarios, from a single deployable puddle pump kept in a cupboard, through to a fully automatic packaged sump station built into the floor.

Buying guide

The deeper read: what's in this range, how to pick, and when to talk to us before you buy.

Manual versus automatic pumps for PFR

Manual puddle pumps are deployed by the homeowner when water is seen. They are placed on the floor, plugged in, and switched on. They are inexpensive, easy to store, and easy to replace, but they rely on someone being at the property and noticing the problem in time.

Automatic puddle pumps sense water themselves and start without intervention. They are the right choice when the property may flood while empty, when residents are vulnerable, or when ingress is gradual and easily missed. The trade-off is higher cost and the need to leave the unit in position with power available.

The EVAK Residox 400 Automatic and Residox 750 Automatic are a useful compromise where a homeowner wants automatic operation but does not want, or cannot have, a sump chamber cut into the floor. They pump down to a low residual level and sit flat on the floor surface, which makes them well suited to retrofit PFR work.

Packaged pump stations for PFR

Where the construction allows, a packaged pump station is the most robust PFR solution. The chamber is installed into the floor or sub-floor, water is collected into it, and one or two automatic submersible pumps lift it away to the drainage system. Because the chamber is below the finished floor level, water is removed before it ever becomes visible inside the habitable space.

Sub-floor stations such as the FPS Iguazu Sump 635, the Iguazu Sump Foul Pro, and the Iguazu Sump FEKA are designed specifically for installation into floor build-ups.

Specification depends on whether the property is on mains drainage, whether foul flow is involved, and the depth of the chamber that the floor construction can accommodate.

Estimating how much water may enter

The pump specification should be matched to the volume of water that could realistically enter the property, not just the area of floor it has to clear. A small puddle pump is appropriate for minor surface water ingress under a door. A higher-flow pump or a packaged station is appropriate where larger volumes may infiltrate, for example through floor or wall penetrations, around service entries, or via groundwater seepage.

Funding routes for property flood resilience

PFR work can be funded in several ways, often in combination.

  • Self-funded. The most common route. The homeowner or business owner pays directly, usually following a recommendation in a PFR survey.
  • FloodRe Build Back Better. Where a home is insured with a participating insurer and a flood claim is being made, up to £10,000 can be claimed over and above the cost of repairing flood damage, specifically to fund resilience and resistance measures. The homeowner does not apply to FloodRe directly. The claim is handled through the insurer.
  • DEFRA Property Flood Resilience Repair Grant. Up to £5,000 (including VAT) per eligible property, administered by local councils on behalf of DEFRA, but only when the Government activates the Flood Recovery Framework following a severe storm event. The grant is not permanently open and eligibility is tied to a specific named flood event in a specific area.
Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is property flood resilience?

Property flood resilience is a set of measures applied to a building so that it keeps water out for longer, suffers less damage when water enters, and dries out more quickly afterwards. PFR pumps remove water that has bypassed barriers, doors, and airbricks, which prevents standing water and reduces drying time.

Do I need a manual or an automatic puddle pump?

Choose automatic if the property may flood while empty, if residents are elderly, vulnerable, or away frequently, or if ingress is slow and easily missed overnight. Choose manual if the property is normally occupied during flood-risk periods and the homeowner is confident deploying the pump in time. Many PFR schemes specify both: an automatic primary and a manual backup.

Can I claim a pump under FloodRe Build Back Better?

Yes, if your insurer is a participating Build Back Better provider and you are making a flood claim. PFR pumps fall within the scope of resilience measures funded by the £10,000 BBB allowance. Speak to your insurer first, before ordering equipment, because the work usually needs to form part of the agreed reinstatement scope.

Is the DEFRA Property Flood Resilience grant always available?


No. The grant is activated by the Government on a case-by-case basis after major flood events, through the Flood Recovery Framework, and is only available to properties internally flooded during the named event. Applications are administered by local councils within set deadlines. Check your council's website if your area has recently flooded.

Where should a PFR pump be installed in the property?

The lowest point that water naturally collects, ideally close to a power source on a dedicated RCD-protected circuit, and with a discharge route to a gully, soakaway, or surface water drain that itself is unlikely to surcharge during a flood event. A packaged sump station is built into the floor at construction or major refurbishment stage. A free-standing puddle pump is positioned at the time of deployment.

Can I install a packaged pump station in an existing property?

Usually yes, but it requires breaking out the floor and is therefore typically done as part of a wider refurbishment, an extension, or a post-flood repair. It will depend on the floor build up.

The Iguazu Sump 635 chamber is the most common retrofit unit for clean water. Where foul drainage is involved, the Foul Pro and FEKA variants are specified instead.
