Move Water Quickly with Gas Powered Pumps

Gas powered pumps are built to move large quantities of water from one point to another. Sears has a number of different pumps that are built for different situations. Whether you just need to drain your pool for winter or have a flooded basement that needs to be cleared quickly, you can get the pump to handle any ob.

If the water you plan on moving is clean, you should look for a dewatering pump. They're mainly used to empty hot tubs, pools and ponds. The impeller rotor, inside a dewatering pump is only built to move water at high speeds. They're usually a little lighter and don't require a heavy duty engine since they'll just be moving water.

If you're going to be draining a natural pond or flood waters, you'll want to look into a trash pump. Trash pumps, although similar in build, are made to handle a certain amount of solid waste. Although these pumps are similar to a sewage pump, these pumps are meant for short term use. The impeller and volute, or pump casing, are built to handle the solid material. Engines in trash pumps have a bit more horsepower to keep everything flowing. Cast iron commonly makes up the impeller and volute, making them strong and corrosion resistant.

Most of the gas powered pumps that you have to choose from are centrifugal pumps. Centrifugal pumps work by converting the energy of the motor through the impeller, to the water. What is unique about these types of pumps is that they have to be primed with water in the volute before they will start pumping. If there isn't enough water flowing into the pump, the engine can and will overheat very quickly. Having a few replacement engine parts on hand is a good idea in the off chance that something breaks under heavy use. It's better if the pump can be placed below the level of the water so that gravity can keep the flow of water constant.

Even if you don't have a pool, having a water pump on hand is a good idea. If you know that you live in an area that floods easily, having a pump ready to go can minimize or eliminate any water damage you might incur. Come by Sears and get the gas powered pump to handle any situation.
