Flint & Walling 1/6 HP Submersible Sump Pump
This Flint & Walling submersible sump pump uses a 1/6 HP motor to remove water from basement sump pits. Its cast-iron body dissipates heat while the unit operates fully submerged. The pump connects to standard 110V or 120V residential outlets using a Type A or Type B plug. It is built for residential drainage tasks.
No Switch Included Means Separate Control Required
The product ships without a float or pressure switch attached. Buyers must supply and install a compatible switch to automate pump activation based on water level. Without this separate component, the pump cannot start or stop automatically. The painted or powder-coated finish protects the cast iron from corrosion during operation.
Submerged Installation Cools Motor During Use
Installation requires placing the unit at the bottom of the sump pit where water surrounds the motor for cooling. The combined motor and pump body simplifies positioning compared to pedestal designs. A common issue arises if the separate switch is not adjusted correctly, causing the pump to cycle improperly or run dry. Proper switch setup is essential for reliable automatic operation.

Questions about this item
How often should I inspect the cast-iron body for corrosion or seal wear?
The cast-iron body has a painted or powder-coated finish to protect against corrosion; inspect it periodically for finish damage or seal leaks to catch issues early.
What limits continuous operation if the pump runs for hours?
The motor relies on surrounding water for cooling; if the water level drops below the pump body, overheating becomes the limiting factor during sustained use.
How much heat and noise should I expect when it runs all day?
Submerged operation keeps the motor cool and quiet; the cast-iron body dissipates heat into the water, so noise and heat stay minimal during extended runs.
