Flood sets – complete emergency pumps for fast flood response
Flood sets provide a fast, reliable solution for emergency dewatering during floods and severe water ingress. The compact kits combine high-performance submersible drainage pumps with pre-assembled hoses and a practical transport box so they are ready for immediate use in an emergency. Thanks to the smart design, the pumps can be operated either inside the box or flexibly outside of it. Durable materials, fully submersible designs (IP68) and automatic controls ensure safe operation even in demanding conditions. Whether caused by rising groundwater, heavy rainfall or flooding, flood sets enable a rapid response and help to effectively limit damage.
Flood sets for fast emergency dewatering during floods and heavy rainfall
When a storm leaves a basement flooded or water suddenly forces its way into a building during heavy rainfall, every minute counts. Zehnder flood sets are a ready-to-use solution for basement drainage, ideal for quickly pumping out basements, garages, pits or plant rooms and limiting damage caused by flooding.
Why preparedness matters more than ever
Heavy rain and local storm events are becoming noticeably more frequent in many regions, and sewer networks quickly reach their limits, allowing water to enter lower levels of buildings. Having a mobile flood pump on hand means users can take immediate action instead of waiting for external support. With a Zehnder flood set, homeowners, property managers, contractors and municipalities are better prepared for extreme weather and can start emergency dewatering right away.
Ready to use: pump out basements quickly
Each flood set combines a high-performance submersible drainage pump with a pre-assembled hose system and a robust transport box. The pump is simply placed on the floor and the hose routed to a safe discharge point – no fixed installation required. This allows flooded basements, underground garages or excavations to be emptied in a short time, reducing consequential damage to the building structure, insulation and building services.
Robust technology for repeated use
Depending on the model – E‑ZW or Vectis – the sets feature corrosion-resistant materials, reliable sealing systems and integrated motor protection. Automatic level control via float switch ensures the pump starts and stops independently as the water level rises or falls. This makes the flood sets a safe and convenient choice even during prolonged rainfall or recurring flooding and an important part of both residential and commercial flood protection.
Flexible use – from single-family homes to underground car parks
The flood sets can be operated directly in the transport box or separately and are suitable for a wide range of locations such as flooded basements, low-lying entrances, pits or underground car parks. The supplied discharge hoses with standardized couplings allow quick water removal even over longer distances. Whether for a one-off emergency or regular preventive use, Zehnder’s mobile systems provide an efficient way to remove water quickly and in a controlled manner.
Additional pump solutions for dewatering tasks
In addition to flood sets, Zehnder offers a broad range of submersible pumps and submersible drainage pumps for permanent or recurring dewatering tasks. These products are the ideal complement when, alongside acute emergency dewatering, regular pumping duties around residential, commercial or industrial properties also need to be covered.
