VETUS Manual Diaphragm Pump – Essential Reliability for a Dry Bilge

Ensure the safety and integrity of your vessel with the VETUS Manual Diaphragm Pump, a cornerstone of marine reliability for boats and equipment. Engineered for performance and durability, this manual pump is an indispensable piece of safety equipment, providing powerful water removal when you need it most. Ideal as a primary bilge pump for smaller vessels or as a crucial backup system on larger boats, the VETUS pump offers peace of mind on every voyage. It is expertly designed to be suitable for boats up to 12 meters in length.

Unmatched Durability in Harsh Marine Environments

Built to withstand the unforgiving conditions of a saltwater environment, the VETUS Manual Diaphragm Pump features a robust synthetic housing that resists degradation from UV rays and chemicals. All critical metallic components are crafted from high-grade stainless steel 316, renowned for its superior corrosion resistance. This commitment to quality materials ensures exceptional longevity and dependable operation, protecting your investment and providing a pump that stands the test of time.

Powerful and Efficient Pumping Performance

When water is in the bilge, every second counts. This manual pump is designed for high-output performance. It is self-priming, capable of creating powerful suction to lift water from a depth of up to 3 meters (10 ft) vertically. This means the pump can be conveniently mounted well above the bilge water level without compromising its ability to start pumping immediately. Once primed, it can handle a maximum discharge head of 4 meters (13 ft), allowing you to expel water safely overboard, even from deep within the hull. The large hose diameter of Ø 32mm (1 1/4´´) facilitates a high flow rate, quickly clearing your bilge and keeping your vessel dry and safe.

It can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, on a bulkhead or through a deck, allowing you to find the perfect location for optimal access and performance. Maintenance is brilliantly simplified thanks to an easy-to-remove clamping ring. This feature provides quick, tool-free access to the pump´s interior for routine inspection, cleaning of debris, or rotating the pump head to best suit your hose layout. This user-friendly design ensures your pump is always in peak condition with minimal effort.
