What are Water Transfer Pumps?
Water transfer pumps or transfer utility pumps, as the name suggests, are used to transfer water from one place to another. This serves a critical function, especially in areas with persistent drainage issues. For example, transfer pumps could help remove water from wet basements prone to flooding. The two best-rated transfer pumps that we have in the market are the Zoeller Mighty Mover and the A.Y. McDonald Mini Mac transfer pumps.
Transfer pumps could be fluid, liquid, or electric. They are used both for residential and commercial purposes. They effectively increase water pressure and are a viable investment for all those who face water drainage issues. Additionally, these pumps can help in irrigation and sprinkler systems. They can also be used to drain water out of water heaters, waterbeds, and other appliances.
The pressure difference that transfer pumps create sucks in water and then transports it to the desired place. Some water transfer pumps are manually operated, but most need a power source such as a battery, a generator, or another electrical source to operate. Some companies that manufacture the best engine-driven transfer pumps in the United States include Zoeller, A.Y. McDonald, Myers, Liberty, and Red Lion.
These pumps come in all sizes. They can be submersible or non-submersible. Buyers can zero in on a suitable model depending on their requirements. While selecting a model, pay attention to the pump’s material, the pressure levels, and orientation.
