CECOR offers two different single phase electric sump cleaners- the SE15 and the SE10. Both units offer powerful performance and a smart design, but they are built for slightly different needs. Understanding the key differences between these two models can help you make the right choice. In this post, we will break down the specs, performance, and ideal use cases for the SE10 and SE15 single phase sump cleaners, so you can invest with confidence.
Suction Lift & Pumping Capacity
- SE10: 1 HP Electric Motor with 17 in Hg suction lift (~231″ water column)
- SE15: Electric Vacuum Motor with 13 in Hg suction lift (~177" water column)
For standard sumps, the SE15 unit is the way to go. If you need a stronger suction for heavier sludge or deep pits, the SE10 is the unit you would need.
Pump-Out Pressure & Flow Rate
- Both units output at 6 PSI pump-out pressure + safety backup valves
- Fluid delivery rates range 60–110 GPM, depending on hose diameter—identical for both models
Tank Size Range & Starting Point
- SE10: Available in 90, 140, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 gallon models
- SE15: Includes all sizes from 60 to 600 gallons, giving flexibility for smaller-capacity applications
Price Point
- SE10 begins at $14,990.00
- SE15 begins at $7,990.00
SE15 is significantly more budget‑friendly due to the motor that is used. Both units will do the same job, with the SE10 being about to suction heavier sludge and deep pits.
Filters & Accessories
- Both come standard with a 1 cu ft F10 filter basket, with an optional 2.3 cu ft F23 basket.
- Both accommodate 1½″ or 2″ hoses, with 1 ½” hose being standard.
- Both offer standard accessories (nozzles, quick‑disconnect couplers, hoses, etc.) and discharge valves with overflow protection.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with the SE10 if you need stronger suction, have deeper tanks, or deal with heavier sludge.
- Opt for the SE15 if you need more nozzle velocity for better dry chip pick up, and if you're cost-conscious, working with smaller 60 gal sumps, and want the same reliable performance as the SE10.
- Both units offer suction pumping rates ranging from 60-110 GPM, depending on hose diameter
