This booklet includes instructions for installation,
operation and maintenance of Grundfos SL1 and
SLV submersible sewage and wastewater pumps
with motors of 1.1 to 11 kW. Grundfos SL1 and SLV
sewage and wastewater pumps are designed for
pumping domestic, municipal and industrial sewage
and wastewater.
Two types of pumps are available:
• SL1 sewage pumps with S-tube impeller

impeller.
The pumps can be installed on an auto-coupling
system or stand freely on the bottom of a tank.
Grundfos SL1 and SLV pumps are designed with an
S-tube and SuperVortex impeller, respectively, to
ensure reliable and optimum operation.
The booklet also includes specific instructions for the

wastewater.
2.4 Operating conditions
SL1 and SLV pumps are suitable for the following
operating situations:

must always be covered by the pumped liquid to
the top of the motor. See fig. 2.
• S3 operation (intermittent operation), the pump
must always be covered by the pumped liquid up
to the top of the cable entry. See fig. 2.
For further information about S1 and S3 operation,
