submersible pump IBO DRAIN 400
Pump for sewage, septic tanks and rainwater with built-in float switch and thermal protection. Designed for S1 continuous operation at full immersion. Cooling is done by the surrounding water.
Key features
- Ready to work after connecting to the socket 220–240V/50Hz.
-
Built-in Float – automatic switching on/off; possibility of adjusting the level by changing the length of the float.
-
Thermal protection – turns off the pump in case of overload.
- Installation: with a flexible delivery hose or into a rigid pipeline.
- Designed for pumping clean and contaminated water (solids up to 35 mm; solids content ≤ 10%; no abrasive materials such as sand/gravel).
Applications
- Households: emptying septic tanks, pumping water from flooded rooms, wells, tanks.
- Industry, agriculture and professional applications requiring a powerful sewage and rainwater pump.
Working conditions
- Supply voltage: 220–240 V / 50 Hz (AC).
- Pumped water temperature: up to 35 °C.
- Maximum immersion depth: 3 m.
- Working position: vertical in tanks/tanks.
-
Note: the pump cannot operate exposed for a long time - the motor body should be submerged to at least half its height.

- Do not pump abrasive liquids (e.g. sand, gravel). The solids content should not exceed 10%.
- Ensure proper grounding and use extension cords with appropriate cross-section.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the IBO DRAIN 400 submersible pump
What is the IBO DRAIN 400 pump used for?
Pump IBO DRAIN 400 used to pump out clean and polluted water, including sewage, rainwater and the contents of septic tanks. Thanks to the passage under the rotor up to 35 mm, it can handle small-sized solid particles, which makes it ideal for use in households, industry and agriculture.
Can the pump run dry?
No. Dry operation may result in overheating and damage to the pump. The engine body should always be submerged to at least half its height, and preferably completely, to ensure adequate water cooling.
How the built-in works Float?
Float automatically turns the pump on and off depending on the water level. You can adjust the pump on and off level by changing the length of the float cable.
What are the operating parameters of the pump?
The pump has a power of 400 W, maximum efficiency 150 l/min, lifting height up to 5 m and can work at an immersion depth of up to 3 m. The IPX8 protection level means that it is fully adapted to work underwater.
Can the pump handle sand or gravel?
It is not recommended to pump abrasive liquids, such as sand or gravel, because they may cause wear of the pump's working elements. The pump is designed for clean or slightly polluted water, with a solids content of up to 10% and a maximum particle size of 35 mm.
What are the requirements for extension cords?
For cables up to 20 m long, use wires with a cross-section of at least 1.0 mm². With a length of 20 to 50 m, a minimum cross-section of 2.5 mm² is required to ensure proper operation of the device and avoid voltage drops.
