Undersink Pump Out Units
The Under Sink Pump Out Unit is an automatic system designed to handle dirty sink and basin waste water, in places where it’s not possible to achieve gravity fall to the sewer.
These units are compact, making them ideal for installing inside confined spaces.
What are Undersink Pump-out Units?
Efficient and Compact Wastewater Management
Undersink pump-out units are innovative solutions designed to handle wastewater efficiently in areas where gravity drainage is not feasible. These compact units are installed under sinks or other fixtures to pump out wastewater, ensuring smooth and reliable drainage in various settings, including residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Choosing the Right Undersink Pump-out Unit
When selecting an undersink pump-out unit, consider the following factors:
- Flow Rate: The volume of wastewater the unit needs to handle.
- Head Pressure: The vertical distance the unit must pump wastewater.
- Application Environment: The specific setting in which the unit will be used, such as residential, commercial, or industrial.
- Installation Space: The available space for installing the unit beneath the sink or fixture.
At General Pump Company, we offer a range of high-quality undersink pump-out units designed to meet diverse needs. Our experts are available to help you choose the right unit for your application and provide support throughout the installation process.

How does an Undersink Pump Out Unit work?
An Undersink Pump Out Unit relies on a small electric submersible pump. The chamber of the submersible pump receives incoming liquid from the basin or sink. As the level in the chamber rises, the float switch rises and activates the pump. The pump then discharges the liquid causing the level to fall thus turning the pump off.
Key Features
Compact Design: Undersink pump-out units are designed to fit conveniently beneath sinks or in small spaces, making them ideal for areas with limited room. Their compact size ensures they can be easily integrated into existing plumbing systems without extensive modifications.
Efficient Wastewater Management: These units are equipped with powerful pumps that efficiently move wastewater from sinks, dishwashers, or other fixtures to the main drainage system. This ensures that wastewater is effectively managed, even in challenging conditions.
Versatility: Undersink pump-out units are versatile and can be used in various applications, including:
Residential Kitchens and Bathrooms I Commercial Kitchens and Bars I Industrial Settings
Easy Installation and Maintenance: These units are designed for easy installation and maintenance. They come with clear instructions and all necessary components, allowing for quick setup. Regular maintenance is straightforward, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Reliable Operation: Undersink pump-out units are built with high-quality materials and components to ensure reliable operation. They are designed to handle varying volumes of wastewater, providing consistent performance over time.
Applications
Basement and Below-Grade Installations: In buildings where sinks and other fixtures are located below the main sewer line, gravity drainage is not possible. Undersink pump-out units provide an effective solution by pumping wastewater up to the main drain line.
Kitchen Islands: Modern kitchen designs often feature island sinks that may not have direct access to gravity drainage. Undersink pump-out units ensure efficient drainage from these fixtures, maintaining the functionality and aesthetics of the kitchen.
Retrofit Projects: In renovation or retrofit projects, modifying the existing plumbing system for gravity drainage can be challenging and costly. Undersink pump-out units offer a cost-effective alternative, enabling efficient wastewater management without extensive alterations.
