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. Engineered with a corrosion-resistant aluminum casing, this pump offers superior heat dissipation compared to standard thermoplastic models, ensuring a longer lifespan and reliable performance during continuous duty operation.

Ideal for homeowners and maintenance professionals, the UP16M features a bottom suction design capable of pumping water down to within 1/4 inch of the surface. 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.

Engineered for Performance and Durability

At the heart of the UP16M is a 1/6 HP, 115-volt motor that is “oil-free” and environmentally safe. The motor is permanently lubricated with a lip seal and features a stainless steel heat-treated shaft for added strength. With a 10-foot power cord and an included garden hose adapter, setup is instant and hassle-free.
