Zenit UNIQA is a range of submersible electric pumps with energy-saving motor.
These products are intended for use in residential, industrial and municipal sewage treatment plants and lifting stations.
They are designed to lift and pump slurries, faecal material, clean water, waste water or water soiled with solid or fibrous materials.
They may not be used with liquids for human consumption or in potentially explosive atmospheres (except for models with explosion-proof
