How Puddle Pumps Can Benefit You Throughout La Niña

After an eventful year, the Australian public has been told about another phenomenon that will occur over summer, La Niña. This weather prediction has seen an increase in sudden downpours and rising humidity levels. With these increased downpours, it's important to have puddle pumps in place to prevent any flooding risk you may face this summer. 
 

What are Puddle Pumps?

A puddle pump is a particular type of water pump that can pump to shallow water levels without overheating or burning out. These pumps are perfect for use when flood protection is needed, or you're in an emergency response situation.
 
Puddle Pumps can be used on most surfaces to remove residue water from seepage, rainfall, or flood water. They work so perfectly in emergencies because they can easily be positioned directly onto your flooded surface and can even pump shallow water levels.
 

Puddle Pumps Available From Timberfix

At Timberfix we have a select range of pumps that are suited for water removal. Our Submersible pump 240V heavy construction duty 12m head is a robust system made with a heavy duty stainless steel and cast iron construction. This submersible pump will efficiently remove excess water in flash flooding situations with dual seals and a 270ltr/min flow.

Our 240 volt 10 amp puddle pump is a great tool to use in cases of flash flooding and areas where water removable is crucial. This pump can remove water down to a level of 2mm with continuous operation capabilities. With a max head of 6m and a flow rate of 62 amp, this pump, constructed of robust cast aluminium housing, will provide the power you need for a lifetime. 

Which Pump Should You Choose?

While our puddle pump can work in shallow water depths, the heavy construction duty submersible pump needs to be submerged within the water source it's removing. While this may work in certain conditions or extreme flooding situations, you'll still need a puddle pump once the water in your space reaches a certain height. 

When picking a puddle pump, it's also crucial that you consider where the water will end up and if you have the correct hose length for this. You'll also need to consider a pump performance that will provide enough power to remove your excess water efficiently.
