What is a trash pump?

A pump built to move water containing solids, such as flood water, effluent and slurry, without being damaged.

Should I use a trash pump or a transfer pump?

Use a trash pump when the water carries solids or debris. Use a transfer pump for clean water.

What size solids can your trash pumps handle?

The 3″ MH30T-2 passes solids up to 25 mm. The 4″ MH40T-2 and MH40TE-2 pass solids up to 28 mm.

How do I clear a blockage?

Our trash pumps have a quick release system for fast access to the impeller. Follow the steps in your Operator's Manual.

How much does a trash pump cost?

Our dealers set their own prices. Contact your nearest dealer for a price.
