Motor pumps in the rating are divided into categories according to their ability to pass particles of sand and debris through themselves without damaging the impeller. The clean water category is designed to pump liquid without turbid sediment. The quality of the water should be at the same level as the tap water. Such motor pumps are used for the purpose of filling or draining tanks, organizing an irrigation system, filling or pumping out a pool in the yard.

The motor pump is housed in a sturdy frame on three base slats. All bends are made of light alloy metal and are connected in a half turn for quick connection. The engine has a volume of 196 cm3 and a power of 5.44 hp, therefore it is able to draw liquid from a depth of up to 8 m. The four-stroke unit runs on gasoline. Users note in the reviews a reduced vibration due to the presence of rubber bushings in the structure inserted between the engine and the frame. The air intake hole is moved upwards and ensures stable operation of the internal combustion engine. Air type cooling helps to avoid overheating. A filter is installed at the inlet to the air duct, like in a car, so that debris does not enter the cylinder.

A two-stroke power plant with a volume of 32.6 cm3 is used as a source of energy and torque. The motor power is 1.2 HP, and the productivity reaches 130 l / min. In this case, the apparatus will be able to capture liquid from a depth of 8 m and supply it to a level of 30 m. To connect the hoses, nozzles with a diameter of 25 mm are used. The motor pump is located on an H-shaped base made of a shaped pipe, and the handle for transportation is screwed to the top of the pump. The owners in the reviews inform that, thanks to the gas pump, the equipment starts up easily.

Experts rated the motor pump as the lightest in the rating. The weight of 7.2 kg will not be a problem for transferring even to the weaker sex. At the same time, a compact kid will be able to fill or pump out a 6 m3 outdoor pool in one hour. The product will be useful for owners of private houses with fountains or swimming areas in the yard.

The best motor pumps for moderately polluted water

Motor pumps for moderately contaminated liquids are designed to pass particles of sand and debris from 10 to 25 mm in diameter through the impeller. Such units are suitable for landscape designers involved in the creation of artificial ponds on the territory, as well as for pumping out flooded basements, garages and cellars. They can also be used to organize the supply of water for technical needs directly from the river or headquarters.

Rating: 4.9

The model in the ranking belongs to a German brand and is equipped with an F188 engine. The installation produces a power of 9560 W, raising the head to a height of 26 m. The equipment is fixed in a tubular robust frame. Suction and outlet connections are located on the same end side for easy connection. The motor pump is capable of continuing the rotation of the impeller with sediment and even small stones. If it gets clogged, then a convenient system for quick disassembly of the pump for cleaning is provided, which is liked in the reviews by those who worked on it. The huge 6.5 liter tank does not require frequent refueling.

In the category of rating of motor pumps for lightly contaminated water, this is the most productive device. It is equipped with huge nozzles with a diameter of 100 mm and a power of 13 hp, which can pump up to 1800 liters in one minute.

Champion Gtp80

Rating: 4.8

The model ranks second in the rating category among devices for lightly polluted water, since it is slightly inferior in performance to the previous motor pump – 1300 l / min, versus 1800. But it is easier to equip it with hoses with an outlet diameter of 75 mm. The motor-pump is designed for intake of liquid from a depth of 8 m and delivery of pressure to a height of 26 m vertically. The four-stroke engine is unpretentious in maintenance, and it is convenient to fill gasoline through a wide neck. But the unit does not have rubber bushings, so it is advisable to put it on a soft base so that it does not shake much from vibration.

Users in the reviews note that if a candle cokes, then it is easy to pick up a new one – the same candles are suitable for this motor pump as on VAZ cars. But the frame is assessed as weak for a weight of 43 kg, therefore, with regular transportation, it is advised to strengthen the seams by re-welding. Our experts recommend a product in the rating for irrigation of fields located near a reservoir (river, lake, rates). The motor pump easily pumps a large volume, feeding it to a distance of up to 300 m horizontally.

Advantages

• power 7 hp;
• fuel tank 3.3 l;
• good maintainability – easy to get spare parts, oil seals;
• quick disassembly of the pump chamber for cleaning.

disadvantages

• the wires are not neatly fixed to the body – they can be accidentally torn off;
• weight of 43 kg makes it difficult to transfer the motor pump to the place of operation;
• 'gluttonous' – gasoline consumption 1.2 liters per hour;
• the oil needs to be changed twice as often as according to the instructions.
