Monarch UP16M Series: Durable Aluminum Submersible Utility Pump

The Monarch UP16M Series Submersible Utility Pump is a versatile and robust solution designed for general water transfer and dewatering applications.

Whether you are draining a flooded basement, removing water from a flat roof, or emptying a pool cover, the UP16M delivers efficiency and ease of use.
