A cable made for use in water
SUBCAB has been developed by
Xylem for use in submersible
applications. Due to its low liquid
absorption rate, it retains its me-
chanical and physical properties
even after long periods of use.

Cable entry
Separate sealing and strain relief
functions reduce the risk of cable
damage from improper handling.

Cast iron reliability

Flygt progressing-cavity pumps
are made of cast iron: a material
that offers good wearability and
corrosion resistance. The result is
a robust pump that will last for
many years.

Easy to install
With its standardized connections,
you can use Flygt progressing-
cavity pumps in existing sumps
and in Xylem’s prefabricated Flygt
pump stations.

A competitive pump in a competitive package
To make life easier for wastewater consultants and installers, we have put together a package that
contains a pump, pumpstation and a controller. By matching components that are optimized for
domestic pump stations, we are able to offer this integrated package at a competitive price.
