Vort Buddy Automatic Submersible Pump

The Vort Buddy 400/900 automatic submersible water pump is a versatile, high-capacity drainage solution designed for domestic, garden, and light commercial dewatering tasks. Equipped with a reliable automatic float switch, the pump turns on and off automatically based on water levels, ensuring efficient, unattended flood protection and liquid transfer.

Powered by a 250W to 550W motor delivering maximum flow rates of 133 l/m and 233 l/m respectively with heads up to 9m, the Vort Buddy features a generous 35mm solids handling capacity. This allows dirty water containing larger suspended organic particles to pass smoothly without clogging the impeller mechanism.

Key Features

• Automatic Level Control: Integrated float switch provides automatic operation, turning the pump on as water rises and off when drained.
• 35mm Large Solids Handling: Efficiently passes soft solids and debris up to 35mm in diameter for trouble-free dirty water pumping.
• Thermal Overload Protection: Built-in motor safety features prevent overheating during extended pumping cycles.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: Supplied complete with a BS-approved moulded 230V/240V plug and approximately 10 metres of heavy-duty power cable.
• 25mm Outlet: Standardized 25mm (1″) discharge connection for quick attachment to standard layflat or garden hoses.

• Emergency dewatering of flooded basements, cellars, and footings.
• Garden irrigation and water transfer from rainwater harvesting tanks or barrels.
