WATER PUMP MACHINE 3

Water pumps  are machines moving water, they play a fundamental part in agriculture as they move water from its source to the fields and crops. Water pumps can be used with many forms of irrigation, such as drip, sprinklers or with a hose.
 

Why Choose a Gas Water Pump?

More Power

Gas water pumps are more powerful and move much more water faster than other types of pumps. For heavy-duty applications like flood removal or draining a construction site, the higher gallons per minute (GPM) and PSI ratings on gas pumps make all the difference between getting the job done in two hours or twenty minutes.

Versatility and Portability

You can take a gas-powered water pump anywhere you need it on the job site, and not rely on having electricity to power the pump. Gas water pumps are a favorite for the agricultural/farming industry because the pumps can be used to power irrigation systems or can be mounted onto tractors and other farm equipment (see PTO pumps below). Trash pumps that run on gasoline are powerful enough to be used for pumping solids, debris, and wastewater that could come from flooding or emptying quarries that have small rocks and other materials present in the water, and are a favorite for construction companies or city municipalities.

Reliable Engines

Gas-powered water pumps come equipped with some of the most trusted engines in the industry, from Honda to Briggs, Kohler, and Generac, so you can trust in the quality of most gas water pumps. If you need a water pump for a multitude of uses that don't involve pumping solids or debris, a great choice is a versatile dewatering pump (see below).

How to Size a Gas Water Pump

Gas water pumps can be chosen based on the intended application you need it for, and how quickly that water needs to be pumped. The most important factors in properly sizing a gas water pump come down to GPM/PSI ratings, inlet/outlet size for water and hoses, how high you'll need to pump the water, referred to as Total Head Lift (measured in vertical feet), and how far you'll need to pump the water horizontally. Lastly, remember you can NEVER use a gas water pump indoors, as carbon monoxide will build up from the exhaust fumes, a sometimes deadly consequence.

Important Features to Look for in Gas Water Pumps

There are many more options and features to choose from on these water pumps as well, from larger inlet/outlet sizes to roll cages, gas tank sizes, and even features like low-oil safety shutoff or self-priming pump designs meant to save you time on the job site.

Dewatering Pump Uses

Dewatering pumps are standard gas-powered water pumps. Their job is to remove water and displace it somewhere else. Dewatering pumps are commonly used to empty hot tubs, drain ponds or pools, and other applications for pumping relatively clean water.

With gas-powered engines, these pumps will move a lot of water quickly. If the water you need to move needs to be clean enough to drink (potable water), there are also potable transfer pumps available
