CSS Range
Cantilever Corrosion Resistant Sump Pump
Built with a cantilever shaft design, CSS pumps have no immersed bearings which allows the pump to run-dry indefinitely without damage. Bearings aren’t required at the bottom of the pump due to the oversized shaft which adds stability to prevent shaft whipping.

<750mm

The CSS range of vertical plastic pumps have been perfected over 40 years to combat harsh and corrosive chemicals making the CSS range ideal for applications such as sump emptying, recirculation, effluent treatment and fume scrubbers.
Every plastic vertical pump in our range is designed and manufactured in the UK so we can tailor the pump to your exact requirements – whether that be a particular column length,mounting plate shape or outlet position. Usually with very little difference in price or lead time compared to a standard pump.
The CSS range is available in polypropylene or PVDF for the ultimate corrosion resistance to harsh and acidic applications. O-rings are available in Viton, EPDM or Kalrez.
BUILT TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
The vertical range are proven to stand the test of time offering solid performance constantly throughout the pumps lifetime. And because of their run dry capability, minimise both operational costs and maintenance costs whilst keeping your process running efficiently and reliably. To ensure that we supply you with a pump that will last in the harshest of environments, pumps are available in a variety of materials including polypropylene, PVC, PVDF and 316 stainless steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Submersible pumps are complete units, including the motor, and the whole can be totally submerged whereas immersible pumps are mounted in vertical position with the motor above the liquid and the pump end extended below the liquid level.
A vertical immersible pump operates with its pump end submerged in the fluid while the motor remains above the liquid level. The pump uses an impeller to draw fluid up through the pump column and discharge it at the surface. This design prevents motor exposure to harsh fluids, making it ideal for handling corrosive, abrasive, or high-temperature liquids in industries like chemical processing and wastewater treatment.
Vertical immersible pumps offer several benefits, including space-saving design, as they require a smaller footprint than horizontal pumps. They prevent motor exposure to corrosive or hazardous fluids by keeping the motor above the liquid level. These pumps also provide high efficiency and reliability, with minimal risk
of leaks due to their seal-less or semi-sealed designs. Additionally, they are easy to maintain, as the motor and key components remain accessible without needing to drain the tank or sump
