IP 550 – submersible pump with float switch
The IBO IP 550 submersible pump is part of a range of devices with technopolymer housings, designed for pumping clean and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles. The power range from 400 W (IP 400 / IP 400 MINI) to 1100 W (IP 1100) makes it possible to select a model suited to the capacity required for a particular installation. The built-in float switch automatically controls pump operation and protects the motor from running without water.
Who it is for
-
Homeowners and landowners – the power range from 400 W to 1100 W makes it possible to select a model suited to the scale of flooding or the capacity required when emptying tanks.
-
Installation and service companies – the built-in float switch automates pump operation without the need to install additional control equipment.
-
Farms and livestock holdings – the pumps are suitable for transferring water from ponds, tanks and shallow ring wells for irrigation or watering animals.
-
Municipal and construction services – the compact design and low weight make quick, portable installation easier when carrying out emergency drainage of excavations and flooded rooms.
Applications
The IP range of submersible pumps is designed for pumping clean and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles such as sand. The pumps are used for draining flooded rooms, basements, garages, swimming pools and inspection chambers, as well as for transferring water from ponds, rivers and surface tanks.
The devices operate vertically and fully submerged, with a maximum pumped-liquid temperature of 35°C. The permitted size of soft solid contaminants is 30 mm, allowing operation in slightly contaminated water without the risk of impeller blockage. The 230 V IP submersible pump is suitable for both domestic applications and service work requiring the device to be moved quickly.
Features of the IP range
IP series pumps feature a technopolymer housing, while the motor shaft and rotor are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The PPO polymer impeller and mechanical seal in a SiC/graphite configuration provide resistance to typical contaminants found in raw and slightly contaminated water.
The integrated float switch automatically switches the pump on and off depending on the water level, while also providing basic protection against dry running. Thermal protection built into the winding protects the motor from overheating, and the threaded, stepped discharge outlet allows hoses of different diameters to be connected.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IP submersible pump
What type of water is the IP submersible pump designed for?
IP series pumps are designed for clean and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles such as sand. The permitted size of soft solid contaminants is 30 mm.
How does the pump protect itself against dry running?
Protection is provided by the built-in float switch, which cuts power to the motor when the water level falls below the safe minimum. In addition, thermal protection in the winding protects the motor from overheating.
How does the IP pump differ from the IP INOX version?
Both lines have identical hydraulic and electrical parameters for corresponding power ratings, but they differ in housing material – the IP range uses technopolymer, while IP INOX has an AISI 304 stainless steel housing. The choice depends on whether low weight (IP) or additional mechanical housing resistance (IP INOX) is the priority.
How do I choose the right IP pump model for my needs?
The choice of model depends on the required head and capacity – the range includes variants from 400 W (IP 400 / IP 400 MINI) to 1100 W (IP 1100), selected according to the scale of flooding or the size of the tank being emptied. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to contact the technical department.
Where can I buy an IP submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. IP series pumps are available from commercial partners, installation wholesalers and authorised online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the IP pump?
IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
