Padus PRO
Submersible pump
The portable submersible pump for reliable and long-term drainage of excavations.
- High reliability in abrasive fluids thanks to rubber-coated hydraulics and an impeller made of Duplex chrome steel
- Easy installation thanks to low weight and flexible discharge connection (vertical/horizontal)
- Active cooling for reliable continuous operation
- Continuous duty in slurping operation thanks to passive cooling
- Easy maintenance thanks to quick access to wearing parts
- Equipped with energy-efficient IE3 motor technology as standard
- Highest operational reliability thanks to integrated protection function



Our efficient solution for reliable excavation draninage.
Submersible drainage pumps are subject to enormous loads caused by abrasive media when draining excavations. As a result, pump performance constantly decreases, and energy consumption increases. In the worst case, the water is no longer completely drained. This can result in delays or even stop the construction works.
The high-performance Wilo-Padus PRO, equipped with an IE3 motor, is specially designed for the high demands of excavations. Operation is very energy efficient and provides a high level of reliability thanks to its robust design with rubber-coated hydraulics and impeller finished with hardened chrome steel. The active cooling system enables reliable continuous duty, even in slurping operation.
Easy maintenance
When working on excavations, sand and small stones in particular causes wear to the impellers and hydraulic parts of submersible pumps, which means that during continuous operation their performance constantly decreases.
With its robust construction, the Wilo-Padus PRO is specially designed for such demands. Moreover, it offers quick access to wear parts for maintenance. The design has been conceived so that the gap between impeller and baseplate can be readjusted, meaning that the effectiveness of the pump can be increased again intermediately.
Minimal operating costs
In combination with our WiloCare service, Wilo-Padus PRO offers the highest possible level of cost security and operational reliability for economical and reliable continuous duty. WiloCare allows you to read out and analyse the pump’s operating status via a module, which therefore ensures operational reliability. The service can be adapted to meet a customer’s individual requirements with the Basic, Comfort and Premium packages. Our customers can rely on convenient services:
- The condition of the pumps is monitored continuously
- Reliable operation and cost security
- Troubleshooting and operation optimisation
You are spared time-consuming on-site inspections and tying up your personnel with checking the status of the pumps. It allows you to plan and optimise maintenance cycles for the pump in a targeted manner whilst profiting from an extended service life and sustainably efficient operation.
Carefree package for your everyday working life
With Wilo as your partner, you cannot only be sure of choosing high-quality product solutions, but also of benefiting from a comprehensive, carefree package of well-thought-out services.

Construction
Hydraulics
The outlet on the pressure side is designed as vertical threaded connection with Storz coupling. If necessary, the outlet on the pressure side can be aligned horizontally. Semi-open, multi-channel impellers are used in the process. The inlet has been equipped with a suction strainer. Consequently, coarse elements in the fluid are filtered upstream of the suction port.
Motor
AC and three-phase current version IE3 motors are used in the process. Motors feature thermal motor monitoring. The motor is cooled by the sheath flow cooling. Continuous duty is possible when immersed/non-immersed, also in slurping operation.
A sealing chamber protects the motor from fluid ingress. The filling fluid used is potentially biodegradable and environmentally safe.
The connection cable is permanently connected and the cable is 23 m long:
- O-version: Cable with bare ends
- A-version: Cable with float switch and plug
- P-version: Cable with plug
Seal
The sealing on the fluid side and on the motor side is performed by two bidirectional mechanical seals.
