WQX 250 - submersible pump
The IBO WQX submersible pump is a series of aluminum-constructed units designed for pumping clean and slightly contaminated water without abrasive particles. The power range from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100) makes it possible to choose a model to suit the required pumping height and flow rate for a given installation. The float switch automatically controls pump operation and protects the motor from starting without water.
Who it’s for
-
Homeowners and landowners – the power range from 250 W to 1100 W makes it possible to choose a model to suit the scale of flooding or the flow rate required to supply a garden pond.
-
Installation and service companies – the float switch automates pump operation and protects it from 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 to supply tanks.
-
Technical wholesalers and stores – the aluminum construction keeps the unit lightweight while maintaining high pumping pressure.
Applications
The WQX series of submersible pumps is designed for pumping clean water and slightly contaminated water that does not contain 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 used to drain flooded rooms, houses, garages, and premises. These pumps do not treat water; if using them for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate preparation.
The units operate in a vertical position, with a maximum pumped liquid temperature of 35°C. The 230 V WQX 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 aluminum, including both the motor housing and impeller, ensuring a low unit weight while maintaining high strength. The shaft is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, and the mechanical seal operates in a SiC/graphite/NBR arrangement.
The float switch automatically controls the pump based on the water level and also provides basic protection against dry running. Thermal protection built into the winding protects the motor from 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 that does not contain abrasive particles such as sand. The maximum permissible size of solid contaminants is 3 mm.
How does the pump protect itself from running dry?
Protection is provided by a built-in float switch that cuts off power to the motor when the water level drops below the safe minimum. In addition, thermal protection in the winding protects the motor from overheating.
How does the WQX pump differ from the IP series?
The WQX pump has an aluminum construction and achieves greater heads, up to 35 m in the WQX 750 and WQX 1100 models, while the IP series, with a technopolymer housing, is designed for lower pressures and typical drainage. The WQX is suitable for pumping water over longer distances or to greater heights, for example, to supply a garden pond located higher than the reservoir.
How do you choose the right WQX pump model for your needs?
The model selection depends on the required head and flow rate – the series includes options from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100), selected according to the scale of the flooding or the distance over which the water needs to be pumped. W If you have any questions, please contact our technical department.
Where can you buy a WQX submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. WQX series pumps are available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the WQX pump?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service provided by Dambat.
