Wassermann 1/2 HP Sewage Pump with Auto Float Switch — 115V, 5300 GPH, Cast Iron, 2" NPT Discharge

Overview

The Wassermann 1/2 HP Sewage Pump with Auto Float Switch is built to move wastewater efficiently and quietly in tight spaces. With a 115V supply, it delivers up to 5300 gallons per hour and can lift water up to 23 feet, making it a strong companion for basement sumps, sewage wells, and below-grade drainage tasks.

The pump features a rugged cast-iron housing and a reinforced non-clogging vortex impeller designed to handle dirty water while maintaining steady performance. Its 2-inch NPT discharge supports flexible piping arrangements, so you can adapt it to your existing drainage layout without a fuss. The oil-filled split capacitor motor is built for durability, helping you keep one step ahead of demanding pumping duties.

Smart, Flexible Operation

Operate with ease using both automatic and manual modes. The automatic function uses a float switch to start and stop the pump at a fixed water level, while the manual option lets you power the unit on directly when you need to respond to short-term demands.

• Automatic: pump starts and stops at a preset water level via the float switch.
• Manual: plug-and-play operation for immediate use when you need it.

Durable Construction and Performance

Designed for demanding environments, the pump’s cast-iron casing resists wear and corrosion while delivering reliable pumping in basements, crawl spaces, and below-grade wells. The 2-inch solids-capable impeller ensures that solids up to 2 inches can pass through the discharge without frequent clogs, reducing maintenance downtime.

• Cast-iron housing for long-term rugged use.
• Non-clogging vortex impeller handles dirty water with confidence.
• 2" NPT discharge for versatile piping and easy integration.
• Oil-filled motor for consistent performance and efficiency.

Installation and Use Tips

Setting up is straightforward: connect the water hose if needed, place the unit in the pit, and plug it in to start pumping. The model ships with a 10 ft power cable, offering flexibility in typical basement or sump basin layouts. A few practical notes can help prevent common issues:

• When a check valve is used, drill a small relief hole in the discharge pipe to prevent air lock.
• Do not lift the sump pump by the cord; handle the unit by its body during installation and removal.

Whether you’re tackling routine drainage in a sump basin or preparing a wastewater well for seasonal changes, this Wassermann pump provides a robust option that balances power, durability, and ease of use. It presents a practical solution for managing water flow where space is tight and reliability matters, offering possibilities rather than guarantees for keeping troublewaters at bay.
