Describe the Particles
Tell us the size and type of debris. Soft particles, sand and fibrous waste create different demands.

Before You Choose
Before You Choose
Use these points to compare the water, installation and operating requirements before choosing a model.
Describe the particles, then compare flow at your lift and the space available for the pump and level controls. Dirty-water models are not low-level cleanup pumps.
Compare Flow at Your Lift
Check the curve for the selected power version, including hose length and outlet resistance.
Leave Room for the Pump
Allow for the intake, level controls and remaining water level. Dirty-water models are not low-level cleanup pumps.
Explore the Applications
Explore basement drainage, rainwater tanks, general drainage and suitable light site-water removal. These applications still require a check of the actual water and debris.
Key Applications
Where these families may fit within their published limits.
Application suitability depends on the liquid, solids, required duty point, installation/control method and exact product configuration.
Drainage
Water removal based on liquid condition, lift and duty cycle.
Explore applications ↗Basement & flood drainage
Floodwater removal for suitable clean/dirty-water families.
Explore applications ↗Pool & spa drainage
Pool dewatering based on water chemistry, debris, lift and model limits.
Explore applications ↗Construction dewatering
Light construction drainage with abrasive sand or slurry checked separately.

Questions to Check Before You Choose
What does “dirty water” mean for these pumps?
The listed WQD and WQDX models handle water with soft particles within their stated size limits. This does not mean they are suitable for abrasive sand, dense slurry, fibrous sewage or toilet waste.
What should I include in an inquiry?
Describe the water and particles, how quickly you need to drain it, the lift and hose route, and the installation space. Add the quantity and destination market for a quotation.
