Zoeller Waste-Mate 267-0001 – 1/2 HP Automatic Submersible Sewage, Effluent or Dewatering Pump

Overview

The Zoeller Waste-Mate 267-0001 is a heavy-duty, 1/2 HP automatic submersible pump designed for demanding wastewater tasks. It’s suitable for both residential and light commercial use, offering reliable performance when moving sewage, effluent, or water that requires efficient dewatering. With a compact profile and a robust motor, this pump handles everyday onsite challenges with quiet confidence, making it a practical choice for basements, crawl spaces, and below-grade installations where gravity isn’t enough.

Key capabilities

• Passes 2" spherical solids using a plastic impeller for smooth, solid-inclusive flow
• Float-operated, 2-pole mechanical switch provides automatic on/off cycling
• Non-clogging vortex impeller design reduces blockage risk in typical waste streams
• Durable cast engineered construction with ASTM Class 25 cast iron housing and switch case
• Automatic discharge with integral float switch is fully submersible, watertight, and dust-tight

Real-world use scenarios

In homes and small commercial settings, this pump can help prevent basement backups, move wastewater away from critical areas, and support dewatering after storms. Automatic operation means the pump can respond to rising water without manual intervention, providing a practical safeguard in fluid-heavy environments.

Operation and durability notes

• The combined 1/2 HP motor and cast iron construction deliver steady performance in wet environments
• The sealed, submersible design protects internal components while reducing electrical risk when installed below grade
• The metal switch housing and reliable float mechanism help ensure consistent automatic discharge in fluctuating water levels

Installation considerations

For best results, pair this pump with appropriate check valves and a suitable discharge route aligned with local codes. Routine inspection of the float switch and impeller is advised to minimize buildup and maintain smooth operation over time. This unit is designed to work best as part of a complete wastewater or dewatering setup alongside compatible accessories.

Bottom line

The Zoeller Waste-Mate 267-0001 combines robust construction, automatic operation, and effective solids handling into a single, practical solution for wastewater and dewatering tasks. Consider your space, expected solids, and required duty cycle to determine if this pump aligns with your project needs.
