It is the same 0.53 kW pump, supplied with a crab floor sensor that starts it at 20 mm of water and stops it at 10 mm. Set the pump down, put the sensor where the water gathers, plug it in, and it manages the water on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid cast aluminium body, cast iron casing and polyurethane vortex impeller are what make it a site pump rather than a domestic one. The vortex impeller resists wear from sand and silt, so output holds up across a full season on gritty water instead of tailing off. It moves up to 170 litres per minute and lifts 11 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of our wider \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/collections\/stream-pumps\"\u003eStream pump\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/collections\/submersible-pumps\"\u003esubmersible pump\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/collections\/flood-control\"\u003eflood defence\u003c\/a\u003e ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow a crab floor sensor works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 28px 0; padding: 20px 24px; background: #F0EDE5; border-left: 4px solid #283583; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sensor sits flat on the floor, on its own lead, and reads the water where the water actually is.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eOnce the depth reaches roughly \u003cstrong\u003e20 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e the sensor closes the circuit and the pump runs.

It is not a sewage pump. It is not intended for raw sewage, heavily contaminated water, or liquids containing corrosive substances, fats, oils, salts, or flammable or explosive material. It does not treat or filter water, so nothing it moves is drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up, and how to prime it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe discharge is 25 mm, 1 inch. Fit the supplied hose tail, secure it with a clip, and set the outlet orientation before you install the hose: undo the two bolts, turn the connector horizontal or vertical to suit the hose run, and refit. This saves fighting a kinked hose down a shaft, and getting the outlet pointing the right way improves the flow you actually get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrime the pump before the first start.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fill the casing with clean water through the outlet until it reaches the top, roughly 2 litres, then run the pump for 3 to 10 minutes to confirm it is operating smoothly. Prime it again after any long period out of service, and drain the priming water before storing it when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite the sensor where the water reaches first\u003c\/strong\u003e, flat on the surface with clear space around it, and check the lead is long enough to reach that spot from wherever the pump sits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need a control panel or an electrician?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The crab floor sensor is self-contained and the pump arrives assembled with a 10 m cable. There is nothing to terminate and nothing to commission. That is the saving compared with a conventional automatic pump at this flow rate, which normally needs a separate level control, an enclosure and an electrician to wire it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow low will it pump?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDown to 10 mm on automatic, because that is the sensor off-level. Mounting the sensor vertically holds the pump running continuously and takes the level lower still, which is how you finish a clear-out. Stay with the pump when it is set that way. If clearing to 1 mm is the job, the manual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/stream-spk530-puddle-sucker\"\u003eSPK530\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it cope with rainwater coming in bursts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will run in those conditions, and the sensor gives you two ways to handle them well. Where water arrives in short bursts the pump can complete a full cycle in moments and then start again a few minutes later, and frequent starts work a motor harder than steady running does. In that situation either keep an eye on the pump, or mount the sensor vertically and run it through continuously. Both get the same result and both are kinder to the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it need priming?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Fill the casing with clean water through the outlet, about 2 litres, then run it for 3 to 10 minutes before putting it to work. Skipping this is the most common reason a new pump appears not to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich voltage is it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e230V, for 110V site work, the manual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/stream-spk530-puddle-sucker\"\u003eSPK530\u003c\/a\u003e is available in both 110V and 230V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I leave it installed permanently?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is one of the main reasons to buy it. Sited in a sump pit or chamber with the sensor at the low point, it will hold the level for long periods without attention. Where the pump is being installed as permanent or standby flood protection, get the levels, flows and discharge route looked at properly first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat hose does it take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 25 mm, 1 inch tail is supplied.
