The pump is what makes a flood pumper different from a large wet vacuum. It is the part that empties the tank while the machine keeps vacuuming, so an operator on a water loss can work continuously instead of stopping to wheel a full tank to a drain. The Sandia 10-0800 is the replacement waste dump pump for the Sandia Sniper Flood Pumper, and it is ordered by restoration contractors and facility maintenance teams whose machine still pulls water but has stopped dumping it.
Built for
- Restoring continuous auto pump-out on a Sandia Sniper Flood Pumper whose dump pump has failed.
- Water loss and flood clean-up work, where the machine has to keep running for hours without being emptied.
- Restoration fleets that keep a spare pump so a call-out is never lost to a single component.
- Planned replacement of a high-hour pump before the season it is most likely to fail in.
What the dump pump does on this machine
The Sniper Flood Pumper is a 24-gallon portable built specifically for vacuuming large amounts of water, and it can move liquid, sludge and solids up to half an inch in diameter. Its auto pump-out feature works continuously and dumps water automatically, so the tank does not have to be emptied when it fills. Sandia specifies the machine with a 3/4 HP totally enclosed, fan-cooled, 1725 RPM waste dump pump. Take that pump out of the circuit and the machine reverts to a tank that has to be manually emptied, which on a real water loss is the difference between one operator and two.
Before you replace the pump
Technicians usually rule out the cheap causes first. Check the dump hose for a kink, a crush or a blockage, since the pump moves solids and a lodged piece of debris will stall flow. Check the auto-dump switch, which is a separate part, and confirm it is calling for the pump at all. If the pump is dead electrically, or it runs but moves nothing with a clear hose, the pump itself is the failure.

Frequently asked questions
Which machine does the 10-0800 pump fit?
It is the replacement pump for the Sandia Sniper Flood Pumper, the 24-gallon portable. Sandia has built this machine in more than one configuration, including a 230 volt version, so confirm your model and serial number against the parts list, or send them to us and we will check before you order.
My flood pumper vacuums but will not dump. Is the pump the problem?
Not always. Check the dump hose for a kink or a blockage first, because the machine moves solids and debris can lodge in the line. Then check the auto-dump switch, which is a separate part. If the hose is clear, the switch is calling for the pump and nothing moves, the pump is the fault.
What is the pump rated at?
Sandia specifies the Sniper Flood Pumper with a 3/4 HP totally enclosed, fan-cooled, 1725 RPM waste dump pump. Its published pump-out rate figures differ between the description and the specification table on Sandia's own page, so we quote the pump rating rather than a flow figure. Ask us if you need the exact rate for your model and we will confirm it with the manufacturer.
Is the pump covered by warranty?
Sandia's published warranty on the Sniper machines covers two years on the vacuum motors and the 100 PSI pump, one year on all electrical components, and a lifetime on the body. Warranty terms depend on your machine and purchase date, so check with us or the manufacturer before buying a replacement.
