How the Protege Tight Access Pump Works
This pump is designed to make flooded pits or shallow standing water a non-issue. The integrated float switch automatically triggers when water rises and stops pumping as levels drop, meaning no need for constant manual checks. Plus, the manual setting lets you clear water right down to a tiny 5mm—handy for those finishing touches when you need it truly dry. Neutral, non-corrosive construction allows you to pump clean or grey water with confidence, even if there’s minor debris.
