Product Description
CAUTION: Operating at an altitude of greater than 2000 feet (610 meters) may affect your engine's performance, fuel consumption, and emissions. To remain emissions compliant and improve engine performance at higher altitudes, a high-altitude kit is required. A high-altitude kit includes a carburetor jet resized to help correct air / fuel mixture at altitude. Please note, engines with the high-altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes could cause severe engine damage and affect emissions compliance. When modified, a tag or decal should be added to the product stating that a high-altitude kit was installed and to remind you to re-service the carburetor (re-jet) when operating in lower altitude environments.

Why The Powerhorse 2" Extended Run Trash Pump Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a trash pump, it's built with an extended 2.9 gallon fuel tank and a full 8-hour run time, giving homeowners, campers, and small farm operators the endurance to get through pumping jobs without constant refueling interruptions.
The Powerhorse 2" specifically addresses the needs of homeowners, campers, and small farm operators who need to move water containing solids for tasks like draining a pool cover, clearing standing water, or handling farm and camping cleanup.
Built To Run Longer Between Refuels. The extended run 2.9 gallon fuel tank delivers a full 8 hours of run time, meaning fewer interruptions during pumping jobs compared to standard trash pumps with smaller tanks that require more frequent refueling.
Built For Rugged, Reliable Operation
A protective steel roll cage shields the pump and engine from impact damage during transport and job site use
The high-quality silicon carbide seal resists wear from abrasive solids passing through the pump
Corrosion-resistant aluminum pump housing stands up to repeated exposure to water and debris
Engineered For Real Trash Pumping Capability
The cast iron impeller and volute handle solids up to 3/4" in diameter without clogging
A 212cc OHV engine delivers 6 HP to move up to 183 gallons per minute
98 ft. of total head lift and 26 ft. of suction head lift provide strong pumping range for farm, camping, and home applications
Real Savings
The extended 8-hour run time reduces the labor and downtime associated with frequent refueling on longer jobs
The protective steel roll cage reduces the risk of costly damage during transport between sites
A silicon carbide seal and cast iron construction reduce the wear-related repair costs common with lower-grade trash pumps
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Homeowners, campers, and small farm operators who need to move water containing solids can't afford a pump that clogs easily or requires constant refueling on longer jobs. The Powerhorse 2" Extended Run Trash Pump is built with a cast iron impeller and volute, a silicon carbide seal, and an extended fuel tank, so it keeps pumping through demanding conditions. For anyone tackling farm work, outdoor recreation, or home cleanup, this is the pump built for the job.
