Pump Kit, Dewatering / Desludging with Generator

Electrical, dewatering/desludging pump kit for handling heavily contaminated water with solids up to 30mm in diameter. Maximum head 20m.

This equipment is used for well cleaning and construction to keep the well empty and enable workers co carry out the work. A Well Access Tripod is advised to protect workers who are entering the well.

It can also be used for emptying pit latrines and in general building/construction.

User notes

• Warning Engine fumes are heavier than air and could collect inside a well. To protect workers from fumes place the generator down wind and as far from the well as possible.
• The purpose of the base plate is to prevent the legs of the pump sinking into the mud causing the impeller to try and drill itself downwards, which results in the pump becoming clogged. If the base plate is not present either suspend the pump just above the muddy bottom, turn it on its side or put it in a large perforated bucket.
