The Ponstar Kochin Puddle Pump, also known as the PXL Residue Pump, is a specialised water pump designed for efficient water removal, especially in flood-prone or puddle-ridden areas. With the capability to pump water down to approximately 1mm, this pump is effective in eliminating residual water after flooding incidents. Its unique design allows remaining floodwater to be easily swept into the pump for removal.
Constructed primarily of alloy, with a stainless steel shaft, the pump is built for durability. A non-return valve on the suction side helps prevent the backflow of water, ensuring efficient pumping. The impeller and volute plate are made from urethane rubber, providing a longer lifespan compared to traditional cast iron components. The outlet is designed for flexibility, allowing it to be altered from vertical to horizontal to prevent hose kinking.
Equipped with twin mechanical seals (carbon ceramic and silicon carbide in a lubricated chamber), the pump offers reliable performance. It includes a 10-metre power cable for convenient placement. For added convenience, the pump can be used with electronic control for automatic operation, with specific control codes available for both 230v and 110v applications. Note that the pump requires priming when used in shallow water to ensure effective operation.
