WQX 1100 - submersible pump
The IBO WQX submersible pump is a series of devices with an aluminium construction, designed for pumping technically clean and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles. The power range from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100) makes it possible to select a model suited to the required head and flow rate for a given installation. The float switch automatically controls the pump's operation and protects the motor from starting without water.
Who it is for
-
Homeowners and allotment owners – the power range from 250 W to 1100 W makes it possible to select a model suited to the scale of flooding or the flow rate required to supply a garden pond.
-
Installation and service companies – the float switch automates the pump's 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 for irrigation or tank filling.
-
Wholesalers and technical stores – the aluminium construction ensures low device weight while maintaining high discharge pressure.
Applications
The WQX submersible pump series is designed for pumping technically clean and slightly contaminated water without abrasive particles such as sand. The pumps are used to pump rainwater and surface water from ponds, lakes and rivers, as well as to supply garden ponds. They are also suitable for draining flooded rooms, houses, garages and commercial premises. The pumps are not water treatment devices – when using them for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water preparation.
The devices operate in a vertical position, with a maximum pumped-liquid temperature of 35°C. The WQX 230 V submersible pump generates high water pressure, making it suitable for pumping to greater heights than simpler drainage pumps.
Features of the WQX series
WQX series pumps are made of aluminium – both the motor housing and the impeller – which ensures low device weight while maintaining high durability. The shaft is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the mechanical seal uses a SiC/graphite/NBR configuration.
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 against overheating.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – WQX submersible pump
What type of water is the WQX pump designed for?
WQX series pumps are designed for technically clean and slightly contaminated water without abrasive particles such as sand. The permitted solid-particle size is 3 mm.
How does the pump protect itself against dry running?
Protection is provided by the built-in float switch, which disconnects the motor's power supply when the water level falls below the safe minimum. In addition, thermal protection in the winding protects the motor against overheating.
How does the WQX pump differ from the IP series?
The WQX pump has an aluminium construction and achieves greater heads, up to 35 m in the WQX 750 and WQX 1100 models, while the IP series, with its technopolymer housing, is designed for lower pressures and typical drainage applications. The WQX is suitable for pumping water over greater distances or to greater heights, for example when supplying a garden pond located higher than the water source.
How do I select the right WQX pump model for my needs?
The choice of model depends on the required head and flow rate – the series includes variants from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100), selected according to the scale of flooding or the distance over which the water must be pumped. If in doubt, we encourage you to contact the technical department.
Where can I buy a WQX submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. WQX series pumps are available from commercial partners, installation wholesalers and authorised online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the WQX pump?
IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service provided by Dambat.
