Honda WSP33 1/3 HP 115V 40 GPM Submersible Pump

Honda WSP33 1/3 HP Submersible Utility Pump, 40 GPM The WSP33 is Honda’s compact electric submersible pump for clean water: a 1/3 hp, 115 volt unit with a lightweight stainless steel casing that plugs into a standard outlet. It moves up to 40 gallons per minute through a 1.25 inch top discharge and weighs only 11 lb, which makes it easy to drop into a window well, a flooded floor drain, a pool cover or a rain barrel. Automatic and Continuous An automatic float switch starts and stops the pump as the water rises and falls, and Honda uses a mechanical switch rather than mercury. The pump is rated for continuous duty, and a built-in thermal switch resets automatically after the motor cools if it ever overheats. It runs fully or partially submerged. Construction The stainless steel casing will not rust. Inside, a thermoplastic Noryl impeller handles solids up to 0.375 inch, with a carbon and ceramic lower mechanical seal and a single-lip rubber upper seal. A 20 foot heavy-duty cord comes standard.

Avoid extension cords where possible; if one is needed, choose a heavy-gauge outdoor cord.
