WQF 180 - submersible sewage pump with float switch
The IBO WQF submersible pump series is designed for pumping sewage and dirty water that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. The power range from 180 W (WQF 180) to 1100 W (WQF 1100) makes it possible to choose a model suited to the size of a domestic septic tank or the extent of flooding, depending on your needs. The float switch automatically controls pump operation and protects the motor from starting without water.
Who it's for
-
Home and property owners – the power range from 180 W to 1100 W makes it possible to choose a model suited to the size of a domestic septic tank or the extent of flooding.
-
Installation and service companies – the float switch automates pump operation and protects it against dry running without additional control equipment.
-
Farms and livestock operations – the pump draws rainwater and surface water from ponds, lakes, and rivers, while higher-powered models can also pump sewage from septic tanks.
-
Technical wholesalers and retailers – a wide range of power ratings in one series makes it possible to offer a model suited to installations of different scales.
Applications
The WQF submersible pump series is designed for pumping sewage and dirty water that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. The pumps are used to pump sewage from domestic septic tanks and to drain flooded rooms, houses, garages, and commercial premises.
They are also suitable for pumping rainwater and surface water from ponds, lakes, and rivers, as well as supplying garden ponds. The units operate in a vertical position, with a maximum pumped liquid temperature of 35°C. The WQF 230 V submersible pump can handle larger solid contaminants than pumps designed exclusively for clean water.
Features of the WQF series
WQF series pumps feature an AISI 304 stainless steel motor housing, while the impeller housing and impeller itself are made of gray cast iron. The shaft is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, and the mechanical seal operates with a SiC/graphite/NBR arrangement.
The float switch automatically controls the pump’s operation according to the water level, while also providing basic protection against dry running. Thermal protection built into the winding protects the motor from overheating, while the threaded discharge port allows a hose to be connected using a clamp or quick connector.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – WQF submersible pump
What type of sewage is the WQF pump designed for?
WQF series pumps are designed for sewage and dirty water that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. W Depending on the model, clearance beneath the impeller is 20 or 35 mm, allowing it to handle larger solid contaminants than pumps designed for clean water.
How does the pump protect itself against running dry?
Protection is provided by a built-in float switch, 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 WQF pump differ from the WQX series?
The WQF pump is designed for sewage and dirty water, with a gray cast iron impeller housing and impeller, and a clearance beneath the impeller of up to 35 mm, depending on the model. The WQX series has an aluminum construction and is designed exclusively for clean and slightly contaminated water, without abrasive particles.
How do I choose the right WQF pump model for my needs?
The model depends on the required pumping height and flow rate – the series includes options from 180 W (WQF 180) to 1100 W (WQF 1100), selected to suit the size of the septic tank or the scale of flooding. W If you’re unsure, please contact our technical department.
