The EGO 500 SE LS is the premium fully automatic model in the EGO 500 range, designed for installations where the pump needs to draw water down to almost nothing without anyone there to operate it. The traditional mechanical float of the GI is replaced by adjustable electronic sensors, giving you complete control over when the pump starts and stops. Built in Italy by Simaco.
Comparing the EGO 500 range? See the full comparison, or look at the EGO 500 GI for 9mm solids handling and the EGO 500 GI LS for budget-friendly low-suction.
The EGO 500 SELS is set up from the factory to:
The on level is adjustable down to 15mm, and off level to a few mm. Note: the pump runs for a short while after the water level has dropped below the off level, enabling low level pumping down to a mm. However, to help prevent it running dry, the off level should be set no lower than 3–5mm.
The pump also runs on briefly after the water drops below the set stop level, which means in practice you can draw water down to approximately 1mm in fully automatic operation.
The SE LS uses Simaco's flat-base low-suction body to achieve 1mm pumping levels. This means the suction shroud sits tight against the floor and physically restricts what can enter the pump to around 1mm. The pump's internal hydraulics will pass anything smaller without issue, including fine sediment and dust, but larger debris such as leaves, grit or gravel will be blocked at the inlet rather than damaging the pump. For applications involving debris-laden water, choose the EGO 500 GI with its raised-leg base and 9mm solids handling.
The SE LS shares the same proven core engineering as every EGO 500: a 0.47 kW single-phase motor with integrated thermal protection, 304 stainless steel motor casing and shaft, PPS thermoplastic pump body and impeller, and a triple hydraulic shaft seal for long service life. Suitable for continuous duty up to 35°C.
The EGO 500 SE LS is designed for domestic and light industrial drainage. It is not recommended for use in ponds or water features.
You may wish to add an elbow hose tail, as when pumping across land rather than vertically it can help reduce kinking in the discharge hose. Please note that the elbow is not compatible with a non-return valve, as the NRV requires a male BSP fitting, while elbows are only available with female BSP threads.

Floodandwaterpumps.co.uk has been specially designed to simplify the types of pumps into categories to make choosing the best pump for your requirements easy.
We are often asked how to attach the hose to a pump, and have created this 'how-to' video to demonstrate. The pump and accessories listed are all available at floodandwaterpumps.co.uk
Each type of float switch has its advantages and is best suited for specific scenarios. The choice of float switch depends on factors such as the type of liquid, space constraints, required accuracy, and the pump's intended application.
With many pump specifications, you will often see a graph, with a curve or a series of curves depending on additional models, these are called pump curves. The pump curve describes the relationship between the flow rate, and the head of the pump.
The head shows how high pumps can pump vertically, with horizontal pumping, we normally use the rule of 10 metres distance will equate to 1 metre in vertical pumping. Always aim to use a pump towards the centre of the curve, as this is the optimal way to use a pump. Using a pump on either edge of the curve will put a lot of stress on the pump, which could cause it to wear out sooner.
