Drainage & Sump Pumps remove unwanted water from pits, basements, tanks and flooded areas. Explore submersible options from Lowara, Bianco, Grundfos, Davey and Ebara. Our team helps you choose the right pump for your flow, head and water conditions.
Drainage & Sump Pumps are designed to move unwanted water from pits, basements, tanks, sumps and low-lying areas. They are commonly used for stormwater drainage, flood control, emptying tanks, construction sites and general dewatering where water needs to be removed quickly and reliably.
The right pump depends on the water type, required flow, pumping height and the size of any solids or debris present. Clean-water drainage has different requirements from dirty-water or sump applications, so it is important to match the pump to the conditions rather than choosing on motor size alone.
This category includes submersible drainage pumps, sump pumps and dirty-water pumps from brands such as Lowara, Bianco, Grundfos, Davey and Ebara. Depending on the setup, you may also need float switches, discharge hose, non-return valves, fittings and suitable pipework. Automatic float operation can be useful where water levels rise and fall without someone constantly monitoring the site.
Compatibility matters across the whole Drainage & Sump Pump setup. The discharge size should suit the pipework or hose, while the pump's head and flow need to match the height and distance the water must travel. For dirty-water applications, check the pump's solids-handling capacity before installation.
An undersized pump may not remove water fast enough, while the wrong pump can clog if debris or solids are present. Restricted discharge lines, excessive pumping height or incorrect float positioning can also reduce performance and cause unnecessary cycling.

Drainage & Sump Pumps are used to remove unwanted water from low areas such as pits, basements, tanks, sumps and flooded spaces. They are also commonly used for stormwater drainage, construction-site dewatering and general water removal around residential and commercial properties.
The right pump depends on how much water needs to be moved and whether the water is clean or contains dirt and debris.
A drainage pump is generally used to move clean or lightly contaminated water from tanks, pits, flooded areas or other low points.
A sump pump is commonly installed in a sump pit and can operate automatically as the water level rises. Many sump pumps use a float switch, making them useful where water needs to be removed without someone constantly monitoring the pit.
Some can, but not every model is designed for it. Drainage & Sump Pumps intended for clean or lightly contaminated water may have limited solids-handling capacity, while vortex and dirty-water pumps are designed to pass larger particles and debris.
Before choosing a pump, check the water conditions and the maximum solids size the model can handle.
Start with the amount of water, required flow, vertical lift, discharge pipe size and water quality. You should also consider whether you need automatic float control so the pump can switch on and off as the water level changes.
A pump that is too small may struggle during heavy inflow, while choosing more capacity than the application needs can add unnecessary cost.
The Irrigation Hub stocks Drainage & Sump Pumps from brands including Grundfos, Lowara, Bianco, Davey, Ebara, Calpeda and Zenit. The range covers automatic sump pumps, submersible drainage pumps, dirty-water pumps and puddle-sucker options for different applications.
Rather than choosing by brand alone, compare flow, head, solids handling and control type against your installation.
