This clean water submersible pump from Kärcher can pump up to 17,000 liters of clean or lightly contaminated water per hour, making it ideal for swimming pools, drainage sumps, and flood control in buildings. For heavier soiling, the included stainless steel pre-filter protects the impeller and extends the service life. The robust stainless steel housing and mechanical seal ensure durability, with an option to extend the warranty to five years.
This flat suction submersible pump features a stepless level sensor that activates the pump as soon as it comes into contact with water. The SP 17,000 Flat Level Sensor also has foldable support feet, allowing the pump to start at a water level of just 7 millimeters. In manual mode, it can be set to continuous operation via a switch, reliably pumping water down to a residual water level of just 1 millimeter. This is achieved in both continuous operation and automatic mode (depending on the level sensor setting).
Additionally, the pump's Quick Connect threaded connection allows for easy connection of 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2" hoses, greatly enhancing ease of use.
