What Are Pumps?

RYOBI welcomes you to the wonderful world of pumps. So, what are they?

Water pumps are like the Swiss Army knives of problem-solving tools. They can tackle all sorts of issues and just make your life a whole lot easier. They're basically your go-to heroes for moving water from one spot (think basement) to another (like, outside).

Whether you want to utilise harvested water with a sprinkler to keep your lawn lush, lower water levels in ponds to conduct maintenance, or even take on larger DIY jobs like empty heater system – RYOBI have you covered.

How can we simplify pumps?

Think of a water pump like a superhero that can move water. The flow rate is how much water the superhero can carry in a certain time, like how many buckets of water they can move in a minute.

Now, imagine the delivery height as how high the superhero can lift those buckets. If they need to lift the buckets really high, they might not be able to carry as many in the same time. But if they don't have to lift them too high, they can carry more buckets quickly.

In short: If the superhero needs to lift water really high, they might not be able to move as much water fast. If they don't have to lift it very high, they can move more water quickly. It's a bit like how you might carry fewer books when climbing stairs, but you can carry more when walking on a flat path.

How do I know what pump to use?

With Ryobi’s ever expanding pump range, it may become confusing to decide what you need for your task.

Why pick transfer pump?

1. No Immersion Required: Transfer pumps are designed to be used outside of the water source. If you’re washing machine has leaked underneath your kitchen cabinets, a transfer pump is great. Allowing you to reach underneath into tight spaces.
2. Traditionally have higher delivery heights: Transfer pumps can handle pumping water to higher elevations compared to submersible pumps. If you need to move water to a significant height, a transfer pump might have the required power and performance.

Why pick a stick pump?

1. Great for evacuating water out of trenches. Maybe you've started a DIY pergola project but it's rained heavy overnight. Drop this in for simple & fast water removal.
2. Optimised for traditional 220l rain barrels. This unit can live in your water barrel. Harvest water & utlise it around the garden!

Why pick a submersible pump?

1. Fastest flow of water to get the job done fast. Empty a bathtub in less that 1 minute. No problem
2. Reach new depths. Plunge your pump up to 7m deep, you could empty a well!
