Stainless steel basement drainage pump with float: what is it for?
The FPX 50/32 M is an all-304 stainless steel basement drainage pump with a vortex impeller. Its float switch starts it when the water rises and stops it when the level drops. It empties a flooded cellar or basement, a sump, a pit, a tank or a pond, and passes solid particles up to 20 mm. It is supplied with a 10 m cable and a standard plug.
Use:
- For clean water or loaded water with solid particles up to 20 mm in diameter.
- For draining flooded rooms, cellars, basements.
- For emptying sumps, pits, tanks.
- For drawing water from ponds, watercourses and wells.
- For pumping liquids in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Why a vortex impeller?
In a vortex-impeller pump the impeller is set back from the pump casing: particles do not pass straight through it, which reduces clogging with slightly loaded water (sand, leaves, small debris).
Choosing a basement drainage pump
Compare the lift height of your installation (level difference between the water and the discharge point, plus pipe losses) with the 7.5 m maximum of this pump, recommended up to 5 m, and its maximum flow rate of 10.5 m3/h. The guide choosing a cellar pump explains the method; for solids larger than 20 mm, see the guide choosing a sewage pump.
Frequently asked questions about the FPX 50/32 M basement drainage pump
What lift height does this pump reach?
The maximum height is 7.5 m, recommended up to 5 m, for a maximum flow rate of 10.5 m3/h. The higher the height to overcome, the lower the flow rate.
Does this pump have a float?
Yes, a float switch is fitted: the pump starts when the water rises and stops when it goes down again. The electric cable is 10 m long and ends with a standard plug.
Can it pump loaded water?
Yes, with particles up to 20 mm in diameter. Above that, choose a sewage or loaded-water pump among our lift pumps.
Which pipe can be connected?
The connection is a 1" 1/4 vertical female thread. The guide choosing a hose or pipe helps you pick the diameter and type of pipe.
What is the warranty?
The pump has a 2-year warranty.
