Let me tell you about a job site I visited last month. A shopping mall had a sewage pump that kept clogging every two weeks. They tried a bigger pump. Still clogged. Then they switched to the WQK20-15QG. That was six months ago. No clogs since.
The Flow Surprise Here’s something confusing about this model. The name says “20” but the actual flow is 20 m³/h. Don’t let the model number fool you. This pump moves serious water. Eighty cubic meters per hour through a 50 mm outlet. That’s enough for most commercial buildings.
Why It Doesn’t Clog The cutting blade sits right at the intake. Anything that comes in — rags, plastic bags, food waste from the mall food court — gets chopped before reaching the impeller. The 1.5 kW motor handles the extra load from cutting without breaking a sweat.
