D40VA Vortex dewatering pump
Short description
Submersible vortex sump pump designed for grey water and light solids handling. Ideal for sump emptying, septic effluent disposal, and general water transfer where blockages are a risk.
10m long plug. For longer life of pump don't lift by the cord.
Why We Like It
Great for larger dewatering jobs with low head. The vortex design does exactly what it should. It keeps solids away from the impeller, reduces blockages, and runs reliably in dirty environments.
Install type
- Submerged - Dewatering dirty water with some solids

More information
General purpose vortex sump pump with a max flow of 300 lpm and 8m lift designed to handle clean or grey water containing soft solids. The open impeller, semi vortex centrifugal design allows solids to pass through the pump with minimal risk of blockage.
Constructed with 304 stainless steel shafts, motor shells, and fasteners, these pumps are built for long service life in demanding sump and wastewater applications. Suitable for fixed installations and commonly paired with slide rail kits for easy removal and servicing.
Ideal for
- Grey water pumping
- Sump and pit emptying
- Septic effluent disposal
- Water transfer
- Light slurries and factory waste
The Davey General Purpose Vortex Sump Pump range is designed for applications where reliability and blockage resistance are critical.
Using a semi vortex, open impeller centrifugal design, these pumps are able to pass soft solids in suspension while keeping debris away from the impeller. This significantly reduces the likelihood of pump or pipework blockages compared to standard centrifugal sump pumps.
Select models feature a recirculation port that keeps soft solids agitated within the sump, improving pumping performance in effluent and grey water applications. Double mechanical shaft seals in an oil bath provide excellent motor protection and long service life, with additional sand slinger seals offering further protection in abrasive environments.
The pump construction includes corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel motor shells, shafts, strainers, and fasteners, combined with a durable painted finish. Automatic resetting thermal overload protection is fitted to safeguard the motor during overload or blockage conditions.
These pumps are well suited to permanent installations and Davey recommends the use of slide rail kits for easy removal and servicing.
