German term or phrase: schwimmende Entnahme
Ein Mindestabstand muss zwischen dem MIN-Niveau des Wassers und dem Behälterboden eingehalten werden. Ansonsten kann die schwimmende Entnahme auf dem Sediment im Behälter aufliegen.
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass das Wasser mit einem Schlauch entnommen wird.

floating discharge device


Explanation:
"floating" würde ich nehmen, weil hier nicht ganz klar ist, wo das Gerät schwimmt und "discharge" wegen der Nähe zur Verfahrenstechnik

  -> Entnahme f (z.B. von Chemikalien aus e. Behälter) discharge (Eintrag aus meinem Technik und angewandte Wissenschaften). Hört sich zugegebenerweise ein bisschen "strange" an.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, sounds good, but I'm not too sure about suction, since the water is actually pumped out.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  David Moore (X): Yes, but pumped out by suction, I think, David?

agree  hazmatgerman (X): Pumping inevitably involves suction on at least one side of the pump. The water won't move upward on its own.//Like that one.
