IPK 400 - submersible pump with float
The IBO IPK 400 submersible pump is a 400 W unit designed for pumping
clean technical water and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles. The mechanical float
built into the housing controls the pump and protects the motor from running without water,
while the compact design allows installation in small sumps and tanks.
Who it's for
-
Homeowners and plot owners – the compact design allows installation in small sumps and rainwater tanks.
-
Installation and service companies – the float built into the housing automates pump operation without the need to install additional control equipment.
-
Farms and livestock operations – the pump is suitable for transferring water from ponds, tanks and shallow ring wells.
-
Technical wholesalers and retailers – this model expands the range with a version featuring proven float control, suited to straightforward installation conditions.
Applications
The IPK 400 submersible pump is designed for pumping clean technical water and slightly
contaminated water that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. The pump is used
to drain flooded rooms, pools and sumps, as well as to transfer water
from ponds, rivers, lakes and shallow ring wells. The pump does not treat
water; if using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water preparation.
The unit operates vertically and fully submerged, with a maximum pumped liquid temperature
of 35°C. The maximum size of soft solid contaminants is
30 mm, allowing it to operate in slightly contaminated water without the risk of the impeller
getting blocked. The 230 V IPK 400 submersible pump is suitable for sumps and tanks
large enough to allow the float to move freely.
Features of the IPK 400 pump
The IPK 400 pump housing is made of technopolymer, while the motor shaft and rotor
are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The multi-vane impeller made of PPO polymer and
the SiC/graphite mechanical seal ensure resistance to typical contaminants
found in raw and slightly contaminated water.
The mechanical float built into the pump body automatically switches the pump on and off
depending on the water level, while also providing basic dry-run protection. Thermal protection built into the winding protects the motor from
overheating, while the threaded discharge outlet allows hoses of various diameters to be connected.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IPK 400 submersible pump
What type of water is the IPK 400 pump designed for?
The IPK 400 pump is designed for technically clean and slightly contaminated water that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. The maximum size of soft solid contaminants is 30 mm.
How does the pump protect itself from running dry?
Protection is provided by a mechanical float built into the pump housing, which cuts off 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 IPK 400 pump differ from the IPE 400?
Both pumps have identical hydraulic and electrical specifications, but differ in how they are controlled – the IPK 400 uses a mechanical float built into the housing, while the IPE 400 uses an electronic level probe. The mechanical float is a proven, simpler solution for sumps and tanks of standard dimensions.
What sump dimensions are required for the IPK 400 pump?
The sump or tank should be large enough to allow the float to move freely with the water level without hitting the sides. W If you have any questions about choosing the right size, please contact our technical department.
Where can you buy the IPK 400 submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The IPK 400 pump is available from commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the IPK 400 pump?
IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
