Evak Hippo 50-200 – 230v
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The Evak Hippo 50-200 (230V) is the flagship of the Hippo range, in 230V single-phase for standard mains supply. 1.5 kW / 2 HP single-phase motor, 2″ discharge, full cast iron construction with vortex impeller and 50 mm free passage.
Highest performance in the standard Hippo range — 660 L/min max flow at 15.5 m max head. 14% more flow and 24% more lift than the 1.5 HP 50-150, at the same industrial-grade construction: full EN-GJL-200 cast iron motor cover, Class F insulation, and heavy-duty design for continuous duty.

More about this product
The Evak Hippo 50-200 (230V) is the flagship of the Hippo range — the top-performing pump in Evak’s cast iron 2″ submersible sewage family. A 1.5 kW / 2 HP 2-pole single-phase motor drives a vortex impeller through a heat-treated stainless steel shaft, supported by NTN long-life ball bearings.
Compared with the 1.5 HP 50-150, this variant delivers 660 L/min at up to 15.5 m of head — 14% more flow and 24% more lift, on the same industrial-grade construction. Both variants share full cast iron motor covers, Class F insulation, and the identical body geometry; the 50-200 is a stronger motor pushing the same hydraulics harder. Choose this variant when the duty needs sustained high lift — deep sewage stations, industrial process wastewater with significant head, and multi-property developments with genuine flow demands.
The 50 mm full free passage vortex impeller continues across the range, supported by industrial-grade full cast iron construction throughout. The motor housing is AISI 304 stainless steel. Twin EKK Eagle Burgmann mechanical seals (upper Ca/Ce, lower SiC/SiC) run in an oil chamber with an NBR lip seal. Klixon auto-cut thermal protection safeguards the motor. Supplied as automatic with float switch, or manual for use with external level controllers.

What is a submersible pump?
A submersible pump is designed to operate fully submerged in the liquid it is moving. The motor is sealed inside the pump body and cooled by the surrounding water. Submersibles are used for drainage, sewage, septic tanks, deep wells and boreholes, and for raising water from sumps, cellars and floodwater. Many stocked at Anglian Pumping handle solids in suspension.
Can submersible pumps handle solids and sewage?
Yes – some submersibles are designed for clean water only, others handle solids up to 50 mm or full raw sewage. Anglian Pumping stocks ABS, BBC, Flygt and T-T Submersibles ranges that include vortex, single channel and grinder impellers for different solids handling requirements. Always match the pump to the maximum solid size and the type of effluent it will see.
When should I use a submersible pump instead of a surface pump?
Use a submersible when the water level is more than around 8 metres below the pump installation point – surface pumps cannot self-prime beyond that depth. Submersibles are also better when the liquid contains solids, when noise must be minimised, or when the pump needs to operate in confined spaces such as sumps and chambers where a surface pump would not fit.
