Grundfos Unilift KP Stainless Steel Submersible Pump – Winery Sump & Cellar Drainage

Compact stainless steel drainage pumps for NZ wineries, cellars and vineyards

The Grundfos Unilift KP is a compact, fully stainless steel submersible pump for clean water and slightly dirty (grey) wastewater. It is small enough to carry from job to job and tough enough for the wet, busy conditions of a New Zealand winery. Use it as a portable pump or fix it in place as a permanent sump pump.

Choose your model from the variant selector:

• KP150-A1 (automatic) – Includes a float switch, so it starts and stops as the water level rises and falls. Good for unattended sumps, barrel hall floor drains and cellar door plant rooms.
• KP250-M1 (manual) – Higher flow and lift, with no float switch. Suited to attended jobs like emptying tanks, bunds and pits, transferring clean water, and flood clean-up. It can also be paired with your own external level control for automatic operation.

Where they're used in the wine industry

• Barrel hall and cellar floor sumps
• Winery wash-down and vintage clean-up water
