A transfer pump is an effective tool for a drain cleaner helping a homeowner deal with a flooded basement. But traditional, manual pumps can be exhausting for a contractor to use, as they require both hands to pump, leaving no control over the outlet hose.
Milwaukee Tool makes the job easier, though, with its new M12 Stick Transfer Pump. Transferring water without interruption, the water transfer pump delivers superior filtration and eliminates the hassles of manual pumping.
“Our M12 Stick Transfer Pump is powered by our M12 battery platform, which eliminates the repetitive strain and cumbersome process,” says Alec Dietzel, product marketing manager for Milwaukee Tool. “The user only needs one hand on the pump, freeing their other hand to direct the outflow. This gives them greater control during the application to effortlessly pump up to 9 gallons per minute.”
Featuring a 36-inch submersible aluminum barrel, the stick transfer pump has the reach and inlet control needed to get to water in difficult-to-access areas such as trenches, storm drains, and water meter boxes. HydroPass filter technology maximizes water flow in heavy debris, while the 360-degree filter minimizes downtime caused by clogging, increasing productivity on the job.
“It is an ideal solution for both service and residential plumbers who frequently find themselves needing to pump unwanted water from in-ground, debris-filled applications such as catch basins, clean-outs, water meter boxes, trenches, sump pump pits, and more,” Dietzel says. “Our plumbing product teams invest the time to work side-by-side with real users on service calls across the U.S. to understand the demands of a constantly changing workplace and how we can best deliver solutions for a more productive job.”
With a 15-foot max head height and an outlet compatible with a standard 3/4-inch garden hose, this water transfer pump delivers the power to push water out of pits, basins and over walls. It joins the M12 Cordless System focused on delivering durability and power in the tightest spaces. Currently the M12 System is made up of more than 100 solutions.
“The feedback we’ve received from users has been overwhelmingly positive,” Dietzel says. “We’ve drastically improved a traditionally manual process with a stick transfer pump that can remove unwanted water from tough-to-reach locations with easy operation and best-in-class debris handling without the repetitive strain on the user.” 800-729-3878; www.milwaukeetool.com
