Why it works

Why choose the VH500

High-volume transfer

2" outlet moves up to 250 litres a minute against a 6m head, and accepts standard hoses with no adapters.

Quick-release coupling

Flat-faced hydraulic coupling connects and disconnects in seconds, and needs no priming before it starts pumping.

Runs fully submerged, no electrics

Hydraulic drive rather than electric, with a polyurethane-coated housing to resist knocks and abrasion on site.

Rated for unattended running

Can be left running for extended periods once submerged (never run dry), and handles solids up to 5mm in suspension.

Frequently asked questions

Does the VH500 run on electricity?

No - it's a hydraulic pump, powered by a hydraulic power pack or another hydraulic source rather than mains or battery power, so there's no electrical risk when it's fully submerged.

What size hose does it take?

A 2" outlet that accepts standard hoses. You can also order the pump with a 2" layflat hose already fitted, in lengths from 1m up to 10m.

Can it handle dirty or debris-laden water?

Yes, it will pass solids up to 5mm in suspension without clogging, though it isn't designed for heavily silted or debris-filled water beyond that.

How far can it pump water vertically?

Up to a 6 metre head, with a maximum output of 250 litres a minute.

Can I leave it running unattended?

Yes, it's rated to run unattended for extended periods, but it must never be allowed to run dry.

Does it need priming before use?

No, priming isn't required - it starts pumping as soon as it's submerged.

What's the pump's weight and size?

It weighs 8kg and measures 260mm in height by 222mm in diameter, small enough to lower into most sumps and excavations by hand.
