Automatic Low-Level Flood Pump Kit | EGO 500 SE LS Sensor Pump
Built for the job
Automatic low-level flood pump kit with adjustable sensors
The EGO 500 SE LS automatic puddle pump, supplied with 10m of 25mm reinforced hose and a stainless-steel clip.
This FPS Engineered™ kit pairs the EGO 500 SE LS with the hose it needs. Simaco build the pump in Italy. It uses adjustable electronic sensors instead of a float, so it starts and stops on its own and draws water down to about 1mm. The pump comes with its own non-return valve and hose tail, so the hose connects without extra fittings.
Part of our pump kits and puddle pumps ranges. Already have hose? The EGO 500 SE LS is also sold on its own.
At a glance
- Fully automatic: electronic sensors start and stop the pump, with no float to snag.
- Adjustable levels: factory set to start at 125mm and stop at 40mm. The start level adjusts down to 15mm.
- Draws down to about 1mm: the pump runs on briefly after the water drops below the stop level.
- Up to 170 litres per minute and 7.5m head: the pump's maximum figures.
- Non-return valve supplied with the pump.
- 10m of 25mm reinforced hose and a 10m power cable with 3-pin plug.
What's included
- 1 × EGO 500 SE LS automatic puddle pump, 230V, with 10m H07RN-F power cable and 3-pin plug
- 1 × non-return valve, supplied with the pump
- 1 × 25mm hose tail, supplied with the pump
- 1 × 10m length of 25mm reinforced suction and delivery hose
- 1 × 20 to 32mm stainless-steel hose clip
How the kit connects
Fit the non-return valve and hose tail to the pump outlet, push the hose fully over the tail and tighten the clip. Stand the pump on a flat floor at the lowest point and run the hose to your discharge point.
Setting the sensors
The start level can be lowered from 125mm to as little as 15mm, and the stop level to a few millimetres. To help prevent the pump running dry, set the stop level no lower than 3 to 5mm. The run-on then takes the water down to about 1mm.

The flow and head figures are the pump's maximums. The flow you get through the hose will be lower, and falls as the lift and hose length increase. Work out a specific run with our pump performance calculator.
Limits and safe use
Clean water only at the inlet. The flat low-suction base sits tight to the floor and limits what can enter the pump to about 1mm. Fine sediment passes, but leaves, grit and gravel are blocked at the inlet. For water carrying debris, the EGO 500 GI handles 9mm solids. Not recommended for ponds or water features.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a non-return valve or hose tail?
No. Both are supplied with the pump.
Can I fit an elbow at the outlet?
Not with the non-return valve. The valve needs a male BSP fitting and the elbow hose tails are female, so this kit uses the straight hose tail supplied with the pump.
Is there a 110V version?
No. The EGO 500 SE LS is 230V only.
