PackForge 6.5 HP Petrol Water Pump, 3 Inch

What is a 6.5 HP petrol water pump?

The petrol engine spins an impeller inside the pump casing. Once the casing is primed with water, that spinning creates suction strong enough to pull water up from about 7 m below. It then sends roughly 900 to 1,000 litres per minute through the 80 mm delivery port and can work against roughly 26 to 30 m of total head. A 3.6 litre petrol tank keeps the engine going.

It is a good match for watering crops from a nearby canal, pond or tank, topping up nursery tanks, emptying a fish pond or pumping out a site pit. At 24 to 27 kg it is easy to keep aside as a standby set. If your measured head comes close to 30 m, compare the 7 HP portable pump. Use it with clean water, not silt or sludge.
