Here at Pump and Plant, we specialise in supplying drainage solutions to deal with flooded and water lodged areas quickly, efficiently and with minimal disruptions.

Drainage Pumps – FAQs

How does a drainage pump work?

Submersible drainage pumps work by pumping out excess water using a rotating impeller. First, place your drainage pump in the designated area, ensuring it is fully submerged in the water. Many drainage pumps are fitted with a float switch that automates this process when a certain water level is reached. Once switched on, water will begin pumping through the inlet pipe before being discharged through the outlet pipe.

Whilst non-submersible drainage pumps also draw water in through the inlet pipe and out through the outlet pipe, there are some key differences. The first and probably the most noticeable is that you don’t place this drainage system directly into the water. You also need to run water through the inlet pipe prior to its use for it to work effectively – this is known as priming the pump.

What are the different types of drainage pumps?

There are several different types of drainage pumps and whilst they all perform the same function, they are each designed for different applications.

Submersible drainage pumps: These pumps are designed to be submerged in water and are commonly used for removing water in flooded basements and construction sites.
Sump Pumps: Sump pumps are installed in sump pits and are used to remove water from crawl spaces, basements and other low-lying areas prone to flooding.
Sewage Pumps: These pumps are specifically designed to handle solid waste and are used to pump wastewater from homes and commercial buildings to the sewage system.
Utility Pumps: Utility pumps are often used for extracting various fluids in different applications, including draining pools and removing standing water.

Is a drainage pump the same as a water pump?

No, although there are similarities between the two, a drain pump and a sewage pump have two different functions. As indicated by the name, drainage pumps are used to drain water from a specific area. Water pumps however have several uses, from supplying water to homes from nearby wells or watering holes to circulating water in swimming pools, ponds and other bodies of water.

What is the difference between a drainage pump and a sewage pump?

The difference between a drainage pump and a sewage pump is their intended uses. Whilst both are used when draining wastewater, sewage pumps have been specifically engineered to handle sewage waste, which tends to be more dense and solid. They are typically used with a septic tank or compatible sewage system.

How do you pump water out of a flooded area?

To successfully pump water out of a flooded area, start by assessing the area for potential risks and hazards like a nearby electricity supply. If using a submersible pump, ensure this is placed in the deepest part of the flood and fully submerged. Once the appropriate pipes have been connected you can turn on your drainage system ensuring to monitor it regularly for clogs or malfunctions.

How do I pump water out of my garden?

If you’re repeatedly experiencing stagnant water in your garden, then a drainage pump may be the answer. After selecting a suitable pump, position it away from any debris or mud that could get lodged within the pipes. Attach the correct hoses and let the pump gather the water. When pumping water out of your garden be sure to have a suitable output location to deposit water away from the problem area and surrounding neighbours.

What size pump do I need to drain my pond?

The size of the pump needed to drain your pond depends on the volume. This can be calculated using this formula: length x width x average depth.

However, size isn’t the only factor to consider when looking for a drainage pump. As submersible pumps are most effective when positioned at the deepest part of your pond, you need a height that can accommodate this.
