Product description

The AES Floodwater Box is a versatile, convenient and portable automatic pumping system for emergency removal of unwanted floodwater and nuisance water from buildings, basements, car parks and garden patios – maximum flowrate of 180 litres per minute.

Our Emergency Floodwater Box is for use with clean or dirty water, not containing sewage, the pump will allow the passage of solids up to 5mm, the supplied crate can be used to filter out larger solids such as leaves.

The AES floodwater box comes with one of our DAB Verty Nova 400M low suction drainage pumps, featuring an internal float switch these compact and lightweight pumps can drain down to 2mm in manual mode.

To use the flood box, simply stand the crate on the floor of a waterlogged cellar, flooded patio or low point in the garden, place the pump in the crate, roll out and attach the delivery hose to the pump with the supplied hose clip, switch on and watch the flood water disappear.

The supplied low suction pump can be used in automatic or manual control modes (please note that 2mm low suction is only possible in manual mode) and comes with 10 metres of cable and plug. A non-return valve prevents water falling back when switched off meaning the pump will not need priming before each use.

First Class Service

Celia Howat (Verified purchase)

My experience with Automated Enviromental Systems has been over a couple of years. The quality of service and products purchased excellent. Whether I seek advice on heat pumps, water pumps, salt, alkaline issues, general pool health this company delivers. I am not technical minded and I have purchased several products from this company after they have discussed what I need... one pool heater to be returned without issue. I cannot thank Simon and various team members on the service, in particular follow up calls. This company comes highly recommended.

Complete satisfaction…

Karen Redfern (verified purchase)

Simon understood our requirements- designed the solution - completed the order swiftly- engineers on site within the week- job completed without any issue- what appeared difficult they resolved efficiently and could not have been more helpful in completing to our full satisfaction.

Excellent company to deal with

Gail Roberts (organic review)

From beginning to end AES made this easy and kept me informed through out the process. The team that came to clean the drainage chamber did a brilliant job considering the scale of the work required. Excellent company to deal with, great communication and reasonably priced. This will now be my go to company for any drainage requirements I may have.

Good, old fashioned customer service

Terence (verified purchase)

Good, old-fashioned customer service. You get to speak to a human who is knowledgeable, listens, understands and advises expertly. The kit I bought was exactly what I needed, and recommended by AES.

Every time we ask for help these guys are just brilliant. This time I sent in a photo of a broken part as I had no idea what it was called. Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
