Discharge Pipe Performance
| Vertical (V) | Horizontal (H) |
|---|---|
| 20m | 0m |
| 15m | 15m |
| 10m | 30m |
| 5m | 45m |
| 0m | 60m |
For each metre not used on vertical head, 3m can be run on the horizontal. Heavy load on the pump will reduce flow rate over greater distances.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DrainStik™?
The DrainStik™ is Blue Diamond’s ultra-compact thermistor water sensor. Unlike a reservoir sensor, it can be mounted in any orientation and is designed for installations where space is limited or flexible positioning is required.
What is the difference between X87-813, X87-814, and X87-820?
All three are MegaBlue pumps with the same performance specifications. They differ only in the sensor included: X87-813 comes with a Reservoir Sensor, X87-814 with a Temperature Sensor, and X87-820 with the DrainStik™ thermistor sensor.
Is the X87-820 available in the Americas?
No — the DrainStik™ variant (X87-820) is available only in the UK, EU, and ROW markets. For America, the X87-835 (FSA thermistor reservoir sensor, 110–230V) is the appropriate variant.
What is the warranty?
The MegaBlue X87-820 carries a 3-year manufacturer's warranty from Blue Diamond / Charles Austen Pumps.
