Industrial-Strength Submersible Power for Rapid Dewatering and Solids Management

The Multiquip PX400 is a high-performance, lightweight electric submersible trash pump engineered to handle the toughest dewatering tasks on the jobsite. Designed for durability and portability, this 1/2 HP pump is capable of moving up to 72 gallons per minute and can easily manage water containing solids up to 1 inch in diameter. Its compact profile makes it an essential tool for contractors, utility crews, and residential users needing to clear flooded basements, excavations, or flat surfaces down to 1.5-inch levels with absolute reliability.

Built to withstand harsh environments, the PX400 features a 304 stainless steel pump housing and an abrasion-resistant urethane resin impeller, making it suitable for marine and specific chemical applications. Performance is matched by protection, as the internal thermal overload system prevents motor damage while dual shaft seals and sealed ball bearings ensure a long operational life. Complete with a 19-foot molded power cable and a 2-inch NPT discharge with a barb hose adapter, this pump provides a plug-and-play solution for demanding water transfer projects.
