AL-KO Drain 10000 Comfort (112825)

Good pump with reasonable performance

The AL-KO Drain 10000 Comfort pump housing is made of glass fibre reinforced polypropylene. Therefore, it is durable and reliable. Inside it is a 650 W motor, which provides good performance (10 m3 / h). The pump unit has a centrifugal design. The dimensions of the unit and the design of the impeller allow pumping liquids with inclusions up to 30 mm in size. However, since the impeller is made of plastic, care must be taken to ensure that there are no solid particles in the water that could break the blades. The manufacturer also strongly discourages pumping liquids containing sand or other abrasive particles. The device switches on and off automatically by means of a float switch. It can be immersed in wells and pits up to 5 m deep. At the same time, the pressure (8 m) is enough to create the pressure necessary for irrigation. The pump does not know how to drain containers to the bottom (the minimum liquid level is 40 mm).

One inexpensive pump for all occasions

AL-KO Drain 10000 Comfort is worth buying for those who are looking for a universal portable pump for domestic and industrial water. It can pump out water from a pit, drain a pond, or cope with the consequences of flooding a basement. One of the main advantages of this pump is its low price ($80 is quite a bit by the standards of this class of equipment). In addition, it is very easy to operate. The pump is maintenance-free and easy to install. The outlet has a diameter of 1 1/2", but other hose sizes can be connected to it thanks to the freely adjustable elbow with combination nipple. Unlike most other pumps, AL-KO drain pumps can be easily carried by two people (there are two handles at once). Therefore, the elderly and women will not strain their backs, moving the pump from the closet to the pond or well.
