WQX 550 - submersible pump
The IBO WQX submersible pump series features an aluminum construction and is designed for pumping clean and slightly contaminated water free of abrasive particles. The power range from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100) lets you choose a model to suit the pumping height and flow rate required for your installation. The float switch automatically controls pump operation and protects the motor from starting without water.
Who it's for
-
Home and landowners – the power range from 250 W to 1100 W lets you 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 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 to supply tanks.
-
Wholesale and technical supply stores – the aluminum construction keeps the unit lightweight while maintaining high discharge 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 suitable for draining flooded rooms, houses, garages, and commercial premises. The pumps do not treat water, so if you use them for other purposes, we recommend ensuring suitable preparation.
The units 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 aluminum, including both the motor housing and the impeller, making them lightweight while maintaining high durability. The shaft is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, and the mechanical seal operates in a SiC/graphite/NBR configuration.
The float switch automatically controls pump 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.

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 size of solid contaminants is 3 mm.
How does the pump protect itself against dry running?
Protection is provided by a built-in float switch that cuts 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 a higher head, 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 greater distances or heights, for example, to supply a pond located higher than the reservoir.
How do I choose the right WQX pump model for my needs?
Choosing a model depends on the required head and flow rate – the series includes options from 250 W (WQX 250) to 1100 W (WQX 1100), selected based on the scale of flooding or the distance the water needs to be pumped. W If you have any questions, please contact our technical department.
Where can I buy a WQX submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. WQX series pumps are available from sales partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the WQX pump?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) of manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
