IBO WQX 550 (0.55 kW, 230 V) submersible pump with float switch
IBO WQX 550 (0.55 kW, 230 V) submersible pump with float switch is a durable solution for pumping clean and slightly polluted water, free from grinding elements (e.g. sand). The aluminum construction ensures low weight while maintaining solidity, and the built-in float switch controls the operation of the device and protects against dry running. The pump effectively drains rain and surface water from ponds, lakes and rivers, supplies ponds and drains flooded rooms, garages and premises.
For whom (B2B)
-
Installation companies: A reliable unit for installing drainage systems in residential, warehouse and public buildings.
-
Emergency and renovation services: Quick pumping of water from flooded rooms, garages, basements and premises after installation failures or rainfall.
-
Horticultural and landscape industry: Power supply ponds, draining excess water from ponds and operating irrigation systems.
-
Wholesalers and distributors: Expansion of the portfolio with a multi-tasking model with built-in float switch and 10-meter cable, popular in home and semi-professional applications.
Application
The IBO WQX 550 pump has been designed to operate in environments requiring reliable pumping of clean and slightly contaminated water. The key limitation is the lack of grinding elements – such as sand – in the pumped liquid. Thanks to this, the device maintains full efficiency and long service life even in intensive use.
In the B2B sector, the pump is used in drainage systems of commercial facilities, warehouses and residential buildings. Thanks to the built-in float switch, the device automatically turns on when the water level increases and turns off when the minimum allowable level is reached, which protects against dry running and failures. The multi-channel closed impeller guarantees stable flow and high delivery pressure up to 20 meters of water column.
The WQX 550 model is suitable for powering ponds, fountains and water recirculation systems. Durable aluminum construction and SiC/graphite/NBR mechanical seal provide protection against corrosion and premature wear. A long 10-meter power cable with a plug allows flexible installation and quick commissioning without the need to use extension cords.
