This water pump is ready to take on jobs where water is packed with high concentrations of debris, sand or gravel, like floodwater or silted water from building sites & quarries, allowing the water through without clogging or blockages. It can handle water with solids of up to 24 millimetres. Durable & very heard wearing this pump as a cast iron, abrasion resistant impeller. This impeller has a special conical design that also contributes to wear reduction. The engine is a Honda GX160, 4-stroke, single cylinder, OHV version for economically sound power with reduced emissions & decompression to reduced the amount of pull force required. The engine is rubber-mounted, with 45° inclined mounts for superior damping of vibrations & reduction of vibration caused mechanical wear & tear. The pump can shift high volumes of liquid, 710 litres per minute (42, 600 per hour) & has a total head (max lift) of 30 metres. The included oil-alert system shuts down the engine if the oil level falls below a safe, pre-set limit; this protects the engine from damage. A tough, durable steel frame surrounds the pump & engine to protect it, stabilise it & make moving the unit much easier. An integrated & reliable recoil pull & transistorised ignition mean an easy start every time. A removable inspection cover means inspections & cleaning & maintenance of the pump are easy, including easy debris removal.
