More about this product
Product overview
The Pedrollo RXm 5/40-GM is a 1.1 kW (1.5 HP) stainless steel vortex submersible pump for dirty water on a 230 V single-phase supply, covering 20 to 380 l/min with a working head of 12.5 m down to 2 m. A vertical magnetic float switch starts and stops the pump with the water level.
RX-VORTEX pumps are made entirely of stainless steel, with a VORTEX impeller in AISI 304. They pass suspended solids up to Ø 20 mm on the RX 2/20 and 3/20 GM (draining to 25 mm from the floor), and up to Ø 40 mm on the RX 4/40 and 5/40 GM (draining to 50 mm). A double seal with an oil chamber protects the motor, with two mechanical seals on the 4/40 and 5/40. Liquid up to +50 °C (+90 °C for up to 3 minutes).

Frequently asked questions
What size solids will it pass?
Up to Ø 20 mm on the RXm 2/20-GM and 3/20-GM, and up to Ø 40 mm on the RXm 4/40-GM and 5/40-GM.
How long is the cable?
5 metres as standard, type H07 RN-F, with 10 metres available on request. Standard EN 60335-2-41 requires a 10 metre cable for outdoor use, so ask for the 10 m version if the pump will be used outside.
Clear or dirty water?
The VORTEX GM models are for dirty water. For clear water, choose the standard RX GM (RXm 1-GM to 5-GM).

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.
