Applications
The FNK-33P is a true submersible trash pump, not a clear-water or sump pump. It is intended for applications where water contains debris or suspended solids.
Typical uses include:
-
Construction site dewatering
-
Industrial and commercial drainage
-
Wastewater and effluent handling
-
Flooded areas with debris
-
Emergency high-volume pumping
Performance & Solids Handling
-
Maximum Flow: ~290 GPM (at working head)
-
Maximum Head: ~68 ft at reduced flow
-
Discharge Size: 3"
-
Maximum Solid Size: 1-3/8" (35 mm)
The vortex impeller allows solids to pass through the pump with reduced risk of clogging, ensuring dependable operation in dirty water conditions.

FAQs
Is the HCP FNK-33P suitable for construction site dewatering?
Yes. The FNK-33P is designed for construction site dewatering where water contains debris, sand, and suspended solids. Its high flow rate and vortex impeller make it effective for rapid water removal.
What makes a vortex impeller important in a submersible trash pump?
A vortex impeller creates a swirling flow path that allows solids to pass through the pump without direct contact with the impeller. This reduces clogging and improves reliability when pumping dirty or debris-laden water.
Can this electric submersible trash pump replace a gasoline trash pump?
In many applications, yes. An electric submersible trash pump like the FNK-33P is quieter, produces no emissions, and requires less maintenance than gas-powered pumps, provided suitable electrical power is available.
Does the FNK-33P require a control panel?
Three-phase versions typically require an external control panel for proper motor protection and operation. Single-phase versions include internal protection where applicable.
Is this pump designed for permanent installation or portable use?
The FNK-33P can be used as a portable submersible trash pump or installed in fixed applications such as pits, vaults, or sumps, depending on the setup and electrical configuration.
What should I consider when choosing between FNK-32P and FNK-33P?
Choose the FNK-33P when you need higher flow capacity and faster dewatering. The FNK-32P is suitable for lower flow requirements with similar solids handling.
