The best Trotec pumps, compared.
Top pick: TROTEC TDP 370 E Best value: TROTEC TWP 4006 E – Lowest price in the set, with 7,300 l/h, a float and a non-return, for clean water only. Updated October 2026.
A borehole, a rain butt and a flooded basement do not need the same Trotec pump. These eight amazon.co.uk listings cover five jobs: the deep-well 370 E, 750 E, 5500 E and 7500 E; the surface garden pump 1005 E; pressure set 4610000195, whose title does not say pump; the clean-water 4006 E; and the waste-water 11000. Do not rank the 20,000 l/h 11000 ES against a well pump on flow alone. When the title and the specification fields disagree, keep both figures. The [Trotec pump buying guide](/hub/cooling/trotec-pump/sub/trotec-pump-buying-guide) separates flood pumps from well pumps. A Trotec pump on amazon.co.uk is not one product. Shoppers use them for a borehole, a rain butt or pond, house service water, or a flooded basement.

Question 1 of 2
Where will you use the pump?
The TDP 370 E is the most convincing all-round deep-well listing here, combining a stated 5,100 l/h flow with a 23 m cable and a 4.5-star average from 166 reviews. Its highlight gives 4 bar, 20 m immersion and IPX8, while the lifting field prints 40 meters Metres. A thermal protection circuit and check valve are stated, and the 10 kg body is lighter than the other TDP models. The main caution is the pressure fitting: the listing says 1/4 inch hoses, a line that should be checked against the correct manual and your intended pipework. At about £230.19 it is close in price to the TDP 750 E but has the stronger recorded customer average.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A measured borehole where a long cable, 5,100 l/h flow and the stated 40 m head line suit the installation
Less suitable: Installations where the outlet thread or required head has not yet been verified
Specifications
Common questions
Will the listing size line fit a narrow well?
The bullets say a 10 cm body diameter and a minimum well of 12.5 cm. The dimensions field is 10 × 10 × 60.5 cm. The page asks about narrow wells and those are the lines it prints.
What thread and cable are stated?
The brass pressure fitting is described as designed for 1/4 inch hoses. No hose is in the included line. The cable length is 23 m. A check valve is stated in the bullets.
Which head lines are on the page?
The lifting-height field prints 40 meters Metres. The highlight says 4 bar, 20 m immersion and IPX8. Both are left as printed.
The TDP 5500 E has the highest stated flow among the four deep-well listings at 6,000 l/h, while the amazon.co.uk lifting field says 20 metres. Its title adds stainless steel and IP68, useful details for a pump intended to be submerged. The 78 cm body and 13.5 kg weight still require a properly measured borehole and suitable support. The page’s power-source field says Hand Power despite also listing 240 V and 550 Watts, so the specification cannot be read uncritically. At about £345.28 it is the dearest product in this set, and the missing cable and outlet details should be resolved before purchase.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A borehole installation where 6,000 l/h is useful and the full manual specification has been checked
Less suitable: Anyone choosing on price or relying on the listing alone for cable and connection details
Specifications
Common questions
What lift and flow does the listing print?
The title and the flow field say 6000 litres per hour. Maximum lifting height is 20 metres. No pressure and no suction height are printed.
What does the power-source field say?
The power-source field says Hand Power. The voltage field says 240 Volts, and the horsepower field says 550 Watts. The page asks about thermal protection and does not state it.
Is a hose or a cable length listed?
No hose size and no cable length are stated. Included components say 1 x Professional Product. The title states IP68 and stainless steel.
The TDP 750 E pairs a stated 5,100 l/h flow with a 23 m cable and a lifting field printed as 5E+1 Metres. It adds a thermal protection circuit, check valve and brass connection stated for 1 1/4 inch hoses. At about £229.81 it costs almost the same as the TDP 370 E and has a 4.4-star average from 156 reviews. The listing conflicts on construction and size: the bullets describe a stainless-steel case and 10 cm body, while the fields say Cast Iron and give dimensions of 12.5 cm square. Measure the borehole against the larger recorded dimensions and confirm the material rather than relying on the shorter bullet line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A borehole that accommodates the listed 12.5 cm dimensions and the printed 5E+1 Metres field
Less suitable: Narrow wells or buyers unable to verify the conflicting body specification
Specifications
Common questions
What material does the listing print?
The page asks about material. The bullets say the case and the dirt sieve are stainless steel. The material field says Cast Iron. Both lines are stored.
What well size do the bullets and the dimensions give?
The bullets say a 10 cm body and a minimum of 12.5 cm. The dimensions field is 12.5 × 12.5 × 79 cm. The brass thread is stated for 1 1/4 inch hoses, and no hose is listed.
What head figure is in the field?
The lifting-height field prints 5E+1 Metres. That string is not converted. The cable is 23 metres. A check valve and a thermal protection circuit are stated in the bullets. No IP rating is stated.
The TWP 4006 E is the clean-water submersible option and the lowest-priced listing here at about £49.50. It states 7,300 l/h and 400 W, with a float switch, non-return valve and flat suction to 5 mm in the highlight. A 10 m nylon rope and an adjustable angle adapter are useful for lowering and connecting it, although no hose or cable length is listed on the amazon.co.uk page. The bullets mention flooded basements, but the title still says clean water and no solids size is printed, so it should not be treated as a dirty-water pump. Its 4.3-star average from 528 reviews and focused feature set make it the best value when the water is genuinely clean.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Draining clean water from pools, butts, wells or a clean flooded area
Less suitable: Dirty water containing debris or jobs requiring a stated solids allowance
Specifications
Common questions
Can this listing pump dirty water?
The page asks and does not give a yes or no. The title says clean water. The bullets also name basements after flooding, drainage wells, pools, rain barrels and wells. No solids size is printed. The highlight says flat suction up to 5 mm.
Does it come with a hose?
The page asks. The bullets name an angle adapter and a 10 m nylon rope. They do not name a hose. No cable length and no plug type are stated.
Why does the model field say TDP DSA?
The model-number field is TDP DSA. The title, the included-components line and part number 4610000004 name the TWP 4006 E. The lifting-height field is 275.59 inches, and the highlight says a maximum immersion of 23 ft.
The TDP 7500 E is the high-head option in TROTEC’s larger deep-well range, with the amazon.co.uk title stating 1,500 W and up to 4,800 l/h. Its long 93 cm body and 15.5 kg weight make careful borehole measurement and a secure lowering arrangement essential. The listing is unusually incomplete where it matters: it gives no lifting height, cable length, outlet size or IP rating. It also prints 2 Horsepower beside the 1,500 W title, so those power lines should not be treated as interchangeable specifications. At about £296.31, it only makes sense when you have confirmed the missing installation details from the correct documentation before ordering.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A measured borehole where the required head, outlet and cable details have been confirmed separately
Less suitable: Buyers who need a complete, internally consistent specification on the amazon.co.uk page
Specifications
Common questions
What flow and power does the listing print?
The title says a maximum of 4,800 l/h and 1,500 watt. The flow field says 4800 litres per hour. The horsepower field says 2 Horsepower. Those two power lines are both printed, and no conversion is applied.
Does the listing give a lifting height or a hose?
There is no lifting-height field, no pressure, no suction height, no cable length and no hose in the included line. The page asks about pond use and does not answer.
Which part number is on the page?
The model number and the included-components line are 4610000215. The part-number field is 4610000210. The listing does not say these are the same product.
The TGP 1005 E is the surface garden pump in this set, intended to draw from a pond, rain butt, reservoir or cistern while the pump itself stays dry. Its title gives a useful working set of figures: 3,300 l/h, 1,000 W, 4.2 bar, 42 m discharge head and 7 m suction height. A pre-filter catches coarse material from 1 mm, while IPX4 splash protection and a thermal cut-out add practical safeguards. You must fill it before starting, and no hose or thread size is listed on the amazon.co.uk page. At about £105.47 it is a focused choice for irrigation, but not a substitute for a submersible flood or deep-well pump.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Garden irrigation from a rain butt, pond or cistern with the pump kept above water
Less suitable: Flood water, dirty water or a pump that must be lowered into a well
Specifications
Common questions
What head and flow does the listing print?
The title says 3,300 litres per hour, 4.2 bar, a 42 m discharge head and a 7 m suction height. The lifting-height field prints 1653.54 inches. No conversion is applied between those lines.
Does it come with a hose, and how is it started?
No hose is listed. The page asks about hose use and states metal suction and pressure threads, with no thread size. The pump is filled through a large filling opening before use. A pre-filter from 1 mm is opened with the included tensioning key.
What protection is stated?
The housing is splash-proof to IPX4. An integrated thermal protection circuit is stated for overheating. Residual water is drained with the drain screw. No plug type is stated.
The TWP 11000 ES is the only amazon.co.uk listing in this set whose title explicitly says waste water. Its stated 1,100 W motor and flow of up to 20,000 l/h suit rapid water movement, while the bullets allow immersion to 7 m and include a 10 m lowering rope. The page does not state a maximum solids size, so the waste-water wording is not enough to size it for unknown debris. Its float description is contradictory, saying both without switch and with float switch, and no cable length, hose or IP rating is listed. At about £104.43 it is the relevant TWP to investigate for dirty water, provided you verify solids handling and the switch arrangement first.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Dirty-water drainage where debris size and float operation can be confirmed before use
Less suitable: Unknown heavy debris or buyers who need a complete hose and cable specification
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing state a solids size?
The title says waste water. The page asks about dirty water. No solids size is printed. Bullets name pools, basements, rain barrels, ponds and flooding, and a 7 metre immersion.
What does the float line say?
The bullets say a stainless steel pump without switch with float switch. That wording is stored as printed. No thermal-protection line and no IP rating are stated.
Is a rope or a hose in the supply?
The bullets say a 10 m nylon rope is supplied. The included-components field says Tools. No hose and no cable length are listed. The lifting-height field is 354.33 inches.
Part 4610000195 is the pressure-set option in the group, identified by bullets that describe a stainless-steel pressure vessel, integrated pressure switch and thermal protection. The listing states 3,300 l/h and 1,000 W, which places it closer to a domestic service-water setup than a simple drainage pump. Automatic pressure control can be useful for repeated garden or household non-potable-water demand. However, the title does not call it a pump, no head or pressure figure is printed, and the included-components field says Cutting Board, which is not a credible box list. Its 3.7-star average from 46 reviews is the weakest evidence base in the set, so verify the documentation for part 4610000195 before ordering.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A planned non-potable service-water system where part 4610000195 and its manual have been verified
Less suitable: Buyers who need clear pressure specifications or a ready-to-use box list
Specifications
Common questions
Why does the title not say pump?
The amazon.co.uk title does not name a pump. The part number and model number are 4610000195. The bullets describe a stainless-steel pump housing and pressure vessel, an integrated pressure switch, a thermal protection circuit and a drain plug.
What flow and power are in the fields?
The flow field says 3300 litres per hour. The wattage field says 1000 watts. Voltage is 230 Volts. The power-source field says CA. No head, suction height or pressure in bar is printed.
What does the included-components line say?
The included-components field says Cutting Board. The page asks whether it can be used for irrigation and does not answer. No hose, cable length or plug type is stated.
This page compares the eight TROTEC water-pump listings on amazon.co.uk named in the digest. Each score weighs the job, the printed flow and head lines, the water duty, and conflicts on the same page. Star figures are the listing average. We did not run a laboratory test, and we did not turn inch fields or “5E+1 Metres” into a second official head.
Job before flow
25%The pump has to match a borehole, a dry garden draw, clean water, waste water, or a pressure vessel. A higher litres-per-hour figure does not make a flood pump into a well pump.
Printed head lines
20%Title, highlight and lifting field are kept side by side when they disagree. Horsepower and watt lines are not converted into each other.
Water duty in the title
20%Waste water, clean water and garden use are taken from the title and bullets. A missing solids size stays missing.
Fit, cable and box list
20%Well diameter, cable, thread, hose and rope are scored only when the listing prints them. Item-type fields that clash with the title are not treated as the duty.
Price and listing reviews
15%Shelf price and the amazon.co.uk star line are recorded. The dearest listing is not treated as the strongest, and non-UK reviews are not turned into a failure rate.
Eight TROTEC listings on amazon.co.uk cover wells, garden drawing, clean water, waste water and a pressure vessel. Pick the job, then the printed figures. Prices in this set run from about £49.50 to about £345.28.
A Trotec pump on amazon.co.uk is not one product. This set is five kinds of machine. The deep-well models are the TDP 370 E, TDP 750 E, TDP 5500 E and TDP 7500 E. The TGP 1005 E is a surface garden pump. Part 4610000195 is a pressure set whose title does not say pump. The TWP 4006 E is a clean-water submersible pump. The TWP 11000 ES is the waste-water submersible pump. Shoppers use them for a borehole, a rain butt or pond, house service water, or a flooded basement. Start with the job.
A higher litres-per-hour figure does not make the TWP 11000 ES a well pump, or the TWP 4006 E a deep-well pump. Compare models that do the same job.
No hose is listed. A non-return is stated only where the bullets or highlight say so. None of these listings states a BS 1363 plug.
The garden pump is filled through the filling opening before use. One UK review also says the fittings are extra.
Decide the job before you sort by litres per hour. A borehole uses one of the four TDP models. A rain butt or pond, with the pump kept dry, uses the TGP 1005 E, and you fill it first. Lowering a pump into a butt or pool points to a TWP. Dirty water follows the TWP 11000 ES title. A vessel and a pressure switch means part 4610000195, read from the bullets, because the title does not say pump. The numbers show why flow is the wrong first sort.
Duty is the title. Only the TWP 11000 ES says waste water, and it gives no solids size. The TWP 4006 E says clean water, with flat suction to 5 mm, even where the bullets mention flooding. TDP strainers stop particles above 1.8 mm. The TGP filter starts at 1 mm. Flat suction is not a solids allowance. Keep both head lines. The TDP 370 E highlight says 4 bar, 20 m immersion and IPX8; the lifting field prints 40 meters Metres. The TDP 750 E field prints 5E+1 Metres.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are lowering a pump into a measured well and need a slim body, a stated cable and a head line you can check. The TDP 370 E is the top pick in this set for that job. Confirm the 1/4 inch thread line and the “40 meters Metres” field before you order fittings.
You want to draw from a rain butt, pond or cistern while the pump stays above the water. The TGP 1005 E is the surface garden pump. Fill it before you start it, and expect to buy the hose and fittings separately.
You are lowering a pump into a pool, butt or clean flooded area and the water is genuinely clean. The TWP 4006 E is the best value here, at about £49.50, with a float, a non-return and flat suction to 5 mm. It is not a dirty-water pump.
Match the Trotec pump to the job, then read the printed figures. For a measured borehole, the TDP 370 E is the top pick: stated flow 5,100 l/h, a 23 m cable, thermal protection and a 4.5 average from 166 reviews, at about £230.19. For clean water at the lowest price in this set, the TWP 4006 E is the best value at about £49.50. The dearest listing, the TDP 5500 E at about £345.28, is not the top pick. None of these pages is a laboratory test, and none states drinking-water approval.
TROTEC TWP 4006 E
Lowest price in the set, with 7,300 l/h, a float and a non-return, for clean water only.
