Pump Products Carries Non-Electric Pumps for Power Outage-Prone Areas
| Made By : Stacy Sewyck

Storm-related power outages have become commonplace across the U.S. in recent years. From Brooklyn to San Diego, heavy rains and high winds result in power disruptions with annoying frequency. For residents and businesses in repeatedly hit areas, portable generators have become must-have appliances. Many residents are switching to non-electric appliances wherever possible.

Pump Products offers a variety of pump models that run on electricity-alternatives such as batteries, gasoline and manpower.

Battery powered back-up pumps kick in when a primary sump pump stops working. These pumps provide reliable back-up service during a power outage, providing you maintain the battery and keep it charged. Some battery back-up pumps run on deep-cycle maintenance-free marine batteries while others run on traditional acid batteries that require the occasional addition of water.

Water powered sump pumps offer a maintenance-free alternative for homes with a consistent municipal water supply (40-100psi). These pumps are powered by water pressure instead of electricity and kick in automatically when water levels start to rise.

Trash pumps are the unsung heroes of storm-prone areas. These high-power dewatering pumps are widely used to bail out flooded roads and basements. They are gasoline powered and will operate in areas where electrical power has failed. Diesel-powered trash pumps are comparable in size and weight to gasoline-powered models and are used in many of the same applications.

PTO-Driven trash pumps run off of a tractor’s power take-off (PTO) or remote hydraulic connections. Mounted on steel frames that attach to a standard tractor hitch, these self-priming pumps can be driven directly to a job site and quickly put to work running on tractor power.

A hand-powered well pump can be worth its weight in gold during an extended power outage. These muscle-powered pumps provide gallons of fresh water with every fist pump. Most can be set up alongside conventional pumps. All require priming before use.
