Kärcher SP 16000 Dual Submersible Dirty Water Pump for Gardens and Homes
2-in-1 Drainage for Clean and Dirty Water:
The SP 16000 Dual handles both clean water and dirty water containing solid particles up to 20mm in diameter. Switching between modes is done by adjusting the filter basket, making the pump adaptable for a wide range of drainage tasks - from garden pond maintenance to clearing flooded basements and cellars.
Flat Pick-Up Down to 1mm Residual Water:
The height-adjustable float switch lets you set the switch-on and switch-off points of the pump to suit your conditions, while also preventing dry running. Manual mode allows the pump to run continuously until the minimum residual water quantity is reached, drawing the water level down to just 1mm.
Built for Long-Term Reliability:
The SP 16000 Dual features Kärcher's Ceramic Face Seal sealing technology, a tried-and-tested solution carried over from the Professional range. This ceramic slide ring seal gives the pump a particularly long service life compared with standard consumer-grade submersible pumps.
Ready to Connect and Easy to Use:
The Quick Connect fitting accepts 1", 1¼", and 1½" hoses, so the pump works with the most common hose sizes without adaptors. The 10m power cable gives you reach across larger gardens and outbuildings, and the rust-resistant construction means it stands up to repeated outdoor use.

Setup and Care
Getting Started:
Lower the pump into the water using the carrying handle. Connect your hose using the Quick Connect fitting - it accepts G1", G1¼", and G1½" standard hose sizes. For automatic operation, set the float switch height to your preferred switch-on and switch-off water levels before starting the pump.
Choosing Your Operating Mode:
For automatic operation, the pump monitors water level via the float switch and starts and stops accordingly. For manual operation, select that mode and the pump will run continuously, drawing water down to the 1mm residual level. When using for dirty water, adjust the filter basket to the dirty water setting before use.
After Use:
Rinse the pump with clean water after each use in dirty or silty conditions to keep the filter basket and internal components clear. Store in a dry location when not in use. The 10m cable should be coiled loosely to avoid kinking.
Routine Maintenance:
Check the filter basket regularly and clear any accumulated debris to maintain flow rate. The Ceramic Face Seal requires no routine maintenance under normal use conditions. Inspect the power cable before each use and do not use the pump if the cable is damaged.
