How Water Pumps Work
Water pumps can work in a few different ways depending on the model:
- Submersible pumps get placed into the water and suck in the water.
- Surface pumps draw the water in through a suction pipe.
Both styles discharge the water through a pipe. The water can either be discharged onto the ground or into a receptacle.

Shopping For A Honda® Water Pump
If you want to get a water pump, there are a few key considerations to make.
Port Diameter
This refers to the diameter of the suction port and discharge port. The larger the outlet, the more water can be moved and the faster the job goes.
Flow Rate
This is the time it takes for water to move through the pump, which is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). For residential needs, you will likely want a flow rate of a few hundred GPM. For large industrial needs, you may need a flow rate of a few thousand GPM.
Water Type
Will you be pumping waste water with particulates? Or clean water without any particulates? Make sure you get a water pump that matches the type of water you are moving.
