"Puddle Sucker / Puddle Pump" - Pumps down to 1mm
The RSD-400 Puddle Pump, also known as a "Puddle Sucker" or "Residue Pump", is a low-level drainage pump with the ability to drain down to 1mm.
The RSD-400 Puddle Pump is ideal for drainage duties in flooded cellars, basements and garages or any flat surface such as flat roofs and carparks where residual nuisance water persists.
The RSD-400 features a stainless steel outer case, motor pack and shaft, while the motor lid, pump casing and volute are manufactured from cast iron.
This submersible puddle pump is equipped with a non-return valve on the suction side, which prevents the return of any water. The bottom plate of the RSD-400 is manufactured from cushioned rubber which helps prevent damage to the tank bottom or floor.
Automatic Operation Puddle Pump with WaterGuard System
The RSD-400 is available in both manual and automatic versions. The Automatic option uses the WaterGuard Control Box and WaterVole Sensor to start/stop the pump when water is detected.

Perfect for the job.

Impressive Performance
By: Mrs E. Jones on
We got this puddle pump with the waterguard unit to pump water out of our cellar as always it floods when it rains. The automatic version is great and means we don't have to remember to switch the pump on and off when there's bad weather.
