Is this pump suitable for Australian boats and caravans?

It's specifically designed as a backup bilge pump for boats, kayaks, canoes, RVs, and campers—all common watercraft and vehicles used across Australia.

How much water can this pump remove per minute?

This pump delivers up to 12 gallons (45 litres) per minute, making it highly efficient for emergency water removal. At 70 strokes per minute, it can pump 31.4 litres (8.3 US gallons), and at a slower 45 strokes per minute, it delivers 19 litres (5 US gallons). This high flow rate means you can quickly clear water from your bilge, boat, or caravan in an emergency situation.

What size hose connections does it have?

The pump features 25mm (1 inch) hose connections. This is a standard size that fits most marine and RV applications in Australia, so you shouldn't have trouble finding compatible hoses at your local hardware or marine supply store. The connections are straightforward to attach and disconnect.

How far can this pump lift water and push it out?

The pump has a suction lift of 1 metre (3 feet) and a discharge head of 0.5 metres (1.5 feet). This means it can draw water from up to 1 metre below the pump intake level and push it out effectively. These specs make it suitable for most bilge, RV, and portable pumping applications where you need reliable backup water removal.
