50 Series Effluent Pumps


50 Series Effluent Pumps

Effluent Pumps

Professional-grade, 3/10 HP submersible pump for residential dewatering (sump) or effluent (septic tank systems) use.

Give your customers the reliable protection they deserve with a 50 series effluent pump — a professional category of pumps capable of effectively transferring greywater from septic tanks in no time.

We supply various models within the 50 series, including:

  • Model 53®
  • Model 55
  • Model 57 (60 Hz)
  • Model 59 (60 Hz)

While we construct each model with different materials, they all offer outstanding performance. These devices come in automatic and nonautomatic configurations and are hermetically sealed for smooth operation.

The nonclogging impeller design sets this group apart, enabling them to pump ½-inch solids at a flow rate of 43 gallons per minute (GPM) with a max head of 19 ¼ feet.
