Leader Verty GO 600 for Sumps, Pits and Reservoir Drains
The Verty GO 600 is Leader's 1/2 HP model in its line of automatic submersible drainage pumps. It runs on 115V, 60 Hz, drawing about 6.8 A from a 600 W motor. Flow reaches up to 52 GPM, or roughly 3,120 GPH, with a maximum head of 30 ft (13 psi). Water leaves through a 1-1/4 in NPT discharge on top of the pump. A vertical technopolymer float rides beside the body, so the pump works inside a pit as small as 8 x 8 in. The float starts the pump as water rises and stops it as the level drops. A manual switch lets it run on demand when needed. The body is glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene, and the impeller is reinforced polypropylene too. An AISI 416 stainless shaft turns behind an NBR triple-lip seal, under a die-cast aluminum motor cover. The motor carries NEMA 6P protection, Class F insulation and built-in thermal overload protection. It weighs about 14.2 lb and stands around 11.25 in tall.
Using an Automatic Submersible Pump in a Grow Room
In a grow, this pump earns its keep wherever water collects and needs to leave on its own. Common spots include floor sumps under benches, runoff pits beside flood tables and drain basins near mixing stations. It also empties or transfers reservoirs between crop cycles. The narrow footprint lets it drop into tight basins where a tethered float would snag. It handles clear water carrying particles up to a quarter inch across. Set it on a firm, flat base in the pit, standing upright. Run discharge pipe or hose from the outlet with a check valve to stop backflow into the pit. Keep debris away from the float so it moves freely through its full travel. The 16 ft power cable and maximum submersion depth of the same length give room for deeper sumps. Use it with water between 32 and 95°F, keeping ambient air at or below 104°F.
Key Features
- Built-in vertical float: Switches the pump on and off with the water level, with no tethered float to tangle.
- Fits narrow pits: Works in basins as small as 8 x 8 in.
- Manual override: A manual switch runs the pump on demand for draining or testing.
- Handles small solids: Passes clear water carrying particles up to 1/4 in.
- Protected motor: NEMA 6P motor with Class F insulation and thermal overload protection.
