UNPLUG THE PUMP

Unplug the pump before all the water is completely gone.

DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY!

PERFORMANCE

The pump will deliver 350 gallons/1325 liters per hour with an unrestricted dis- charge line. If the discharge line is restrict- ed or raised and the pressure on the pump outlet port increases, it will pump less water.

NOTICE: This pump’s motor has brushes. Inspect the brushes frequently; replace them if they’re worn.

M40-04, M40P-04 specifications

Simer Pumps has made a significant mark in the industry with the introduction of its M40P-04 and M40-04 models. These pumps are engineered to meet a wide variety of demanding applications, delivering reliability and performance that users can trust.

The Simer M40P-04 is designed with versatility in mind. It features a strong and durable construction that allows it to perform efficiently under varying conditions. The pump is powered by a robust motor that ensures high flow rates, making it suitable for applications in agriculture, building services, and general water transfer. The M40P-04 includes an integrated thermal overload protection system, which prevents motor overheating and ensures a longer lifespan.

On the other hand, the M40-04 model shares many of the same reliable traits as the M40P-04 but is optimized for slightly different use cases. It boasts a compact design that allows for easy installation in tight spaces while maintaining exceptional performance levels. This model is particularly well-suited for residential applications such as lawn irrigation systems and water features.

Both pumps utilize advanced technologies that enhance their operational efficiency. For instance, Simer has incorporated a high-quality impeller design in both models, which minimizes energy consumption while maximizing water flow. This design not only reduces operating costs but also makes them environmentally friendly.

In terms of characteristics, the M40P-04 comes with a built-in pressure switch, which automatically turns the pump on and off based on water demand, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings. Similarly, the M40-04 features a self-priming mechanism, allowing it to draw water from underground sources without the need for manual priming.

Durability is a key aspect of both models. They are constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, making them suitable for various water types, including those containing debris or sediments. This durability is complemented by easy maintenance features, allowing users to keep the pumps in optimal condition with minimal effort.

Ultimately, the Simer M40P-04 and M40-04 pumps stand out in the market for their reliability, innovative technology, and practical design. They are ideal choices for those seeking efficient, robust, and user-friendly pumping solutions for various applications. With their combination of power and efficiency, both models promise to deliver outstanding performance over time.
