Water Pumps

Ohio's unpredictable weather can sometimes lead to unwanted water accumulation which we understand at Ohio Power Tool. Here's a breakdown of three common pump types to help you tackle water & other fluid transfer situation: Trash Pumps: Built for battling tough clogs and debris, trash pumps are the go-to solution for dirty water filled with leaves, twigs, and even small rocks. Their heavy-duty impellers can handle these solids without jamming, making them ideal for dewatering flooded basements, draining ditches, or pumping out effluent from agricultural tanks. They prioritize high-volume output over pressure, so they excel at quickly removing large amounts of liquid. Stick Pumps: Perfect for precision and extraction, stick pumps are designed for narrow spaces. Imagine needing to drain the last bit of oil from a barrel – a stick pump's long, slender design reaches right to the bottom, minimizing waste. These pumps are commonly used for transferring various liquids like motor oil, antifreeze, or even specific chemicals – often from large storage containers. Be aware that they typically aren't suited for high-viscosity liquids or large solids. Transfer Pumps: When versatility is key, transfer pumps offer a broad range of applications. They efficiently move clean or slightly dirty water between tanks, pools, hot tubs, or even help with irrigation tasks. Depending on the chosen model, transfer pumps can handle varying flow rates and pressures. This allows you to choose the right tool for the job, whether it's quickly draining a flooded basement or carefully refilling a pool in your backyard. By understanding the strengths of each pump type, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any fluid transfer challenge, keeping your Ohio home or work environment running smoothly.
