Flotec E5005TLT Effluent Pump Key Features
Cast Iron Body
The heavy-duty cast iron construction provides superior heat dissipation and durability compared to plastic models, ensuring a longer service life for this cast iron effluent pump.
Tethered Float Switch
The integrated tethered float switch offers reliable automatic operation, turning the pump on and off based on water levels. This design requires a minimum sump diameter of 14 inches to operate without obstruction.
Oil-Filled Motor
The motor is oil-filled and sealed, which lubricates moving parts and facilitates cooling for continuous duty performance in demanding applications.
Rust-Proof Impellers
Designed with thermoplastic impellers that resist corrosion, this pump maintains high flow rates and reliable performance over years of submersion.
Thermal Overload Protection
The motor includes automatic reset thermal protection, which shuts the pump down if it overheats to prevent permanent motor damage.
Performance Overview
The 1/2 HP effluent pump provides a maximum capacity of 62 GPM at 0 feet of head. As vertical lift increases, flow decreases naturally. At 10 feet of lift, the pump maintains a strong flow of 53 GPM. The unit shuts off completely (zero flow) at a maximum head of 32 feet. This performance curve makes it an ideal effluent pump for septic system leach field applications where elevation changes are moderate.
Applications
- Septic tank effluent removal
- Laundry tray discharge
- Grey water transfer
- Dishwasher drainage
- Leach field dosing
- Residential sump pits
