Water pumps are extremely versatile tools that can solve a variety of problems and make your life easier than you ever thought possible.
From a sprinkler pump for your lawn to a well pump for your home, to a sump pump on a job site, a submersible utility pump or a pump for flood cleanup, all pumps are designed to move water from one place (the basement) to another (outside).
How to choose a water pump
Electric Water Pump
Electric water pumps Electric water pumps are ideal for indoor use. Most are 120V and will plug into a standard household outlet. If you choose the 230V variety, make sure you have the electrical cord to support it. While not as powerful as gas-powered models, electric water pumps require less maintenance because you don’t have to worry about oil changes and other maintenance. You’ll need to operate these units within the extension cord length of the power supply, so if you have mobile pumping needs, use a pneumatic model.
Gas Powered Water Pumps
Gas-powered water pumps Pneumatic water pumps are commonly used for irrigation on job sites and farms. With powerful engines, these pumps can deliver up to 750 gallons of water per minute (GPM). If you need to move large amounts of water, such as a flooded basement, then a gas dewatering pump is exactly what you need. IMPORTANT: Pneumatic pumps produce carbon monoxide emissions, so they must be used outdoors.
Solar Water Pumps
Solar water pump (also known as photovoltaic water pump) is the most attractive water supply method in sunlight-rich areas in the world today, especially in remote areas where electricity is scarce. The operation of the solar water pump is controlled and adjusted. The electric energy from the solar array is used to drive the water pump, and the output frequency is adjusted in real time according to the variation of sunshine intensity, so that the output power is close to the maximum power of the solar cell array.
Water Pump Accessories
Many accessories are available for pumps making them more useful and versatile than ever. For most dewatering pumps, you will need a discharge hose and an inlet hose, and may need a suction filter to prevent solids from entering the pump, or in the case of using a gas pump to pump out of the basement, you will need a hose kit This allows you to place the pump outside while using the suction hose and filter remotely.
For household pumps such as well pumps, booster pumps and ejector pumps, you may need check valves, float switches or water alarms. Or, you may fancy replacing your own wheel kit, hydraulic power unit, impeller kit, or control box for electric inserts. Whatever your pump needs, we’ve got you covered.
