Ingco Submersible pump 370W(0.5HP) Max.head:17m

The Ingco 370W (0.5HP) Submersible Pump is a common and reliable choice for tasks requiring water to be moved from below the surface. It’s distinct from surface (peripheral or centrifugal) pumps because it’s designed to be fully immersed in the liquid it’s pumping, which makes it very efficient as it doesn’t need to “suck” water up against gravity.

A common model for this specification from Ingco is the SPC3708 or SPC3702-8.

Key Features and Specifications (Ingco SPC3708 / SPC3702-8):

• Power Input: 370 Watts (0.5 HP). This power level is suitable for light to medium-duty dewatering and water transfer applications.
• Voltage: 220-240V~50Hz. Standard for household electrical supply in Kenya.
• Max. Head: Approximately 17 meters (about 56 feet). This is the maximum vertical height the pump can push water. While it’s submersible, the head pressure is still a critical factor for how high it can deliver water.
• Max. Flow Rate: Approximately 100 Liters/minute (L/min) or 6.0 cubic meters/hour (M³/H). This indicates the volume of water the pump can move in a given time. Submersible pumps often have a higher flow rate than similarly powered peripheral pumps.
• Pipe Diameter: 1 inch. This is the standard outlet diameter for connecting hoses or pipes.
• Cable Length: Typically 9 meters. This extended cable length is essential for reaching submerged depths.
• Motor: Features a copper wire motor, which is a significant advantage over aluminum windings as it provides better durability, efficiency, and heat resistance.
