Highlights
The integrated vertical float switch operates entirely inside the casing to prevent sticking in narrow spaces down to 20cm by 20cm
In manual mode it draws standing water down to just 2–3mm, once there’s 10–15mm of water for it to prime, so floors are left almost dry rather than holding a puddle
Sliding inspection cover allows quick access for cleaning debris away from the internal float mechanism without dismantling the unit
Continuous-duty motor with built-in thermal protection that switches the pump off if it overheats, then restarts it automatically once it has cooled
Supplied with 10 metre mains cable and UK plug (cable only on 110v pump) and stepped hose tail to fit the 1¼ inch top discharge
Good to know
The Verty Nova is compact and lightweight making it easily portable and ideal for emergencies, in manual mode you can quickly pump standing flood water down to just 2 or 3mm, even in the tightest spaces

Domestic and commercial flood clearance

FAQs
What is a puddle pump?
Puddle pumps are designed for clearing flat surfaces, where standard drainage pumps would stop with several centimetres of water still left. In manual mode, the Verty Nova starts pumping once there’s 10–15mm of water and keeps going down to just 2–3mm.
How low can a puddle pump drain water?
A puddle suction pump can drain water down to a level of 2mm to 3mm on a flat surface, making it suitable for removing shallow standing water.
Can this pump run continuously?
The DAB Verty Nova can be permanently installed in a sump or tank, in automatic mode the pump can be left unattended and will switch on when the water level reaches 165mm and turn off once the level falls to 65mm.
Alternatively the pump can be run in manual mode once the standing water is at least 10-15mm deep, pumping down to 2-3mm on flat surface, however the pump will not switch off and continuous dry running may damage the pump.
If you are running a pump in manual mode it should never be left unattended.
The thermal cut-out switches the pump off if it overheats, then restarts it automatically after about 15–20 minutes.
What size hose should be used?
The pump is supplied with a four-way stepped hose tail and will fit 25mm, 1″, 40mm and 1¼” hoses, the larger the hose diameter the higher the flow rate that can be achieved.
How long is the cable?
The pump comes with a 10m mains lead and plug (230v versions) or 10m cable without a plug (110v version), the total cable run should not exceed 10m.
