Dirty water pump recommendation

larthehar

Hi all,

I have a channel taking run off from a bedded shed to a small sump 1m deep. There is a 2in pipe running 30m rising maybe 1m to the slatted tank. Can anyone recommend a dirty water pump suitable for permenant install?

Cheers.

When I worked for Alfa laval I installed one of their soiled water pumped systems on a farm somewhere in Meath.

Bit costly but did a great job.

Check with concrete septic tank manufacturers, they have ones suitable for your job.

One of those submersible pumps with float valve that you'd see in modern domestic percolation system would do. Not a great head height or distance and no big solids. Couple of hundred euro should sort it.

Stinson in the north, float switch, 2'' outlet, have it 2 years emptying the sump from parlour pit, dung, hair, mastitis tube nozzle caps, never blocked, serious output. Paid €440, dearer of the two he has

I've gone through ones from 50 to 300 euro and I found the lidl one prob the best value, hair is the worst thing for these pumps

I bought one on offer a few years ago for €60 pumped a lot of fairly sh1tty water with it since but it blocks and needs opening a few times.

I purchased a tsurumi pump to pump out an underpass grand pump strength wise but gets blocked very easy with bits of leaves mud etc ect
Better off with a trash pump maybe

Buy a quality pump if you are buying one at all. Ponstar are a great pump. But run off from a bedded area will be acidic and will rot any kind of pump quickly unless you go for one which has a cast iron housing. A small zenit pump would be ideal here and it would never block if you've the right impeller on it. Float switches on pumps can give bother too, they can get caught if material catches on the float it might inhibit the pump from starting or stopping. It's the stopping that you would be concerned about moreso as submersible pumps need to be immersed to keep them cool.. You get what you give at the end of the day.
