DAB Deep Well Surface Pump
Surface mounted cast iron deep well pump, 1.1 or 1.85 kW, with or without a pressure switch.
The owner's insights on the DAB deep well surface pump
The DAB deep well surface pump is a surface mounted pump with a cast iron casing, listed by the supplier for tank transfer. It comes in two sizes. The DP151 is listed at 58 L/min and 60 m of head. The DP251 is listed at 72 L/min and 70 m. Each size has an M model and an MP model.
The MP models are listed with a pressure switch. The M models are not, so plan to add your own pressure control if you choose one. Each pump weighs 27 to 33 kg, so two people should lift it into place.
Check the details before you order. The supplier's listing gives no lift depth, so tell us how deep your water is and we will check the model with the supplier. Installation is not included.
