What is the difference between a trash pump and a water pump?
There is a significant difference between using a trash pump compared to a high-pressure pump when providing water to your big sprinkler(s). A trash pump is designed to have a large flow rate with a low amount of pressure. A high-pressure pump is designed to move water with much higher levels of pressure.
How much water does a 3 trash pump move?

Explanation: Centrifugal pumps can pump liquids which are of low viscosity. It cannot handle liquids such as oil.
How many gallons per minute does a 2 pump move?
Number of submersible well pump stages determine pump lift capacity
| Table of Submersible Pump Stages vs HP vs Total Dynamic Head vs. GPM Flow Rate Capacity | ||
|---|---|---|
| Water Pump HP | Nr. of Pump Stages | GPM Flow Rate Capacity |
| 1 1/2 HP | 11 | 4 – 40 GPM (varies by TDH) |
| 2 HP | 14 | 4 – 42 GPM (varies by TDH) |
| 3 HP | 19 | 4 – 43 GPM (varies by TDH) |
How high will a trash pump push water?
Don’t underestimate suction lift height – Because of specific gravity and the effects of atmospheric pressure, you can only pump water from no more than 26 feet down.
