High-Flow Flood Pump Kit | APP HD-15, 830 L/min
Built for the job
High-flow flood pump kit for moving large volumes of water
The APP HD-15 high-flow submersible pump, supplied with 80mm layflat hose and a stainless-steel clip.
This FPS Engineered™ kit pairs the APP HD-15 with hose sized to its 80mm outlet. APP manufacture the pump. It is the highest-flow single-phase submersible pump we supply, moving up to 830 litres per minute from a 230V or 110V supply with no separate control panel. The pump comes with its own 80mm hose tail. Choose manual or automatic, the voltage, and 10, 20 or 30 metres of hose.
Part of our pump kits, high flow pumps and site drainage pumps ranges. Already have hose? The APP HD-15 is also sold on its own.

What's included
- 1 × APP HD-15 submersible pump, manual or automatic, 230V or 110V as selected, with 10m heavy-duty rubber power cable
- 1 × 80mm (3 inch) hose tail, supplied with the pump
- 1 × 80mm layflat hose in the length selected: 10m, 20m or 30m
- 1 × 70 to 90mm stainless-steel hose clip
As an industrial product, the pump is supplied without a fitted plug.
How the kit connects
Push the layflat fully over the pump's 80mm hose tail and tighten the clip. Unroll the hose before starting the pump so it can open out along its length without twists or folds.
Manual or automatic?
Manual runs whenever it is switched on, and suits attended flood response and site work. Automatic has a pendant float that starts and stops the pump with the water level. The float needs room to rise and fall freely, so it suits open water and larger sumps.
Why 80mm hose?
At this flow, hose size matters more than anything else in the set-up. The 80mm outlet and hose keep friction losses low, so more of the pump's output reaches the end of the hose. Layflat is for the discharge side only. It needs to lie flat and open, away from sharp edges and vehicle routes.

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
Groundwater, sandy water and flood water with solids to 9mm. Not a sewage pump. The pump weighs about 25kg, so lift it by the handle with a rope or lifting gear, never by the cable or hose. A plug or connection suited to the supply must be fitted by a competent person. Use the 110V model with a transformer rated for the load. Discharge responsibly and keep silty water out of surface water drains and watercourses.
Frequently asked questions
Is a plug fitted?
No. As an industrial product the HD-15 is supplied without a plug.
Can I use 50mm hose instead?
The pump on its own can be ordered with an optional 50mm outlet, but it reduces flow. This kit uses the 80mm outlet and hose to get the most from the pump.
Do I need a non-return valve?
Not for portable flood and site pumping. A valve adds resistance and cost, so it is not included.
