EGO 500 GI LS Submersible Puddle Pump | Dual Automatic and Manual | Low Level Pumping

Dual‑Mode Low‑Suction Puddle Pump for Narrow Sumps & Low Water Levels

The EGO 500 GI LS is the budget-friendly low-suction model in the EGO 500 range. It keeps the same simple mechanical float control system as the original GI, but uses Simaco's flat-base low-suction body to draw water down to just 1mm in manual mode.

The result is a dual-mode puddle pump that can fully drain swimming pools, hot tubs, boats and other clean-water applications without needing the electronic sensors of the more expensive SE LS. Built in Italy by Simaco.

Dual Control Functionality

Dual Control: The internal float switch can be set to either on or off, allowing the pump to operate in automatic or manual mode. The switch is easily accessible for quick adjustment.

If you are unsure whether you need a manual or automatic pump, the EGO 500 GI Water Pump is a versatile choice. In automatic mode, the pump switches off at a water level of approximately 70 mm, helping to maintain a consistently low level. When lower drainage is required, the pump can be switched to manual mode, allowing it to pump down to just 1 mm.

Construction and Durability

It is manufactured from durable thermoplastic and features a 304 stainless steel motor casing. A triple-seal design provides enhanced protection and superior resistance to wear. Single-phase 230V motor includes integrated thermal protection with automatic reset to prevent overheating. Compact and lightweight: Easy to install, remove and reposition, making it suitable for domestic and light commercial use.

The GI 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.

Design and Performance

• Can be used only partially submerged
• Top outlet design allows motor cooling
• Performs well in domestic and light industrial applications

The pump is highly reliable, however, the EGO 500 GI LS is not recommended for use in ponds or water features.

Why Choose the EGO 500 GI LS?

This pump is an ideal solution if you need both manual and automatic operation across a range of applications without purchasing multiple units. With a simple switch, it can easily be set to operate in either mode, offering flexibility and convenience in one pump.
