Grundfos Domestic Submersible Pumps

Buying Guide: Do You Need to "Empty" or "Push"?

To avoid making a mistake with the pump, you need to ask yourself what you need to do with the water.

Case A: "My basement is flooded and I have to dump the water out."

You need a pump from the DRAINAGE family (Grundfos Unilift CC) .
These pumps are designed to move a lot of water quickly but at low pressure.
The Grundfos advantage: The Unilift CC model, by removing the lower grille, is capable of suctioning up to 3 mm from the floor (scraping suction), leaving the room practically dry ("as dry as a rag").

Case B: "I want to water the lawn with water from the cistern."

You need a pump from the PRESSURE family (Grundfos SB) .
Drain pumps don't have the power to raise pop-up sprinklers. SB pumps, on the other hand, generate up to 3-4 bar of pressure, just like mains water, ensuring powerful jets.

Professional quality in home format

Although labeled "domestic," these pumps are not toys. Grundfos uses reinforced engineering plastics and high-quality stainless steel. Unlike cheap supermarket pumps, Grundfos motors are designed not to overheat and to last for years, even if left in the sump.
