How-to: Use a Liberator & Puddlepal Conversion Kit

T-T's Liberator® and PuddlePal® contractor submersible drainage pumps are lightweight, compact, and powerful. The Liberator® is designed for use in groundwater applications where sand and silt are present, whereas the PuddlePal® can pump down to 1mm, making it ideal for removing water from flat surfaces.
Our conversion kits allow you to convert a Liberator® into a PuddlePal® and vice versa on-site, giving you one pump with two functions.
How to Convert a Liberator into a PuddlePal
Tools Required:
- Conversion kit
- Spinner
- 10mm spanner
Steps:
- Turn the Liberator® on its side and use the spanner to loosen the pins at the bottom.
- Remove the pins with the spinner and take off the strainer.
- Without the strainer, you will see the volute housing around the impeller. Unscrew the three pins and remove the housing.
- Underneath, you will find the inner rubber housing. Place the pump upside down, position the collar from the conversion kit around it, and secure the base.
- Screw three pins into place to secure the base. Ensure they are tight enough to prevent air leaks but do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the casing.
- The Liberator® has now been successfully converted into a PuddlePal®.
