Portable pumps ideal for flood clean-ups
Wilo Salmson is launching the new Subson range of portable pumps, which are designed to offer an ideal solution for removing drainage water from flooded cellars, basin sumps or similar areas.
Pumps aimed at secondary hot water applications
The latest bronze circulating pumps from Wilo include the SB range, which is ideal for new and replacement work on secondary hot water applications.
Delivering reliability and performance, the Drainlift M can provide safe sanitary pumping to both residential and commercial properties.
Its cavernous 100/150-litre tank, featuring a sloping collection chamber, ensures sewage is conveyed directly to the impeller without providing the opportunity for sediment to form.
In the case of an emergency, a battery-operated alarm, which works independently of the mains electricity supply, is automatically triggered.
The Drainlift M also minimises installation times by incorporating a fully integrated non-return valve, and reduces noise transmissions through internal insulation strips.
The unique and versatile unit, which weighs just 45kg, can be attached to existing collecting tanks via the system's easily-to-install feed pipes.
Capable of pumping waste at a rate of 55m3/h, the Drainlift M has been launched in two formats - the DrainLift M1 single-pump system and its double-pump counterpart the DrainLift M2.
While both units can pump sewage to a height of 7.5m, the DrainLift M2 has the added versatility of adjusting its performance to prevailing conditions through alternating, standby and peak-load modes.
Mark Sowden, Marketing Manager at Wilo, said: "The DrainLift M has been designed to provide sewage pumping for a range of property types and sanitary demands.
More importantly, its unique design brings together performance and safety in a single system".
The DrainLift M joins Wilo's extensive stable of easy-to-use waste and sewage lifting units, which includes wastewater and sewage systems, and moulded sump pumps.
