Utility & Transfer Pumps

Submersible utility pumps, high-flow water-removal pumps, transfer pumps and pool cover pumps, compared on horsepower, flow, head and housing.

Utility pumps move water you don't want: a flooded floor, a water heater you are draining, a window well or a pool cover. Unlike a sump pump, most run only while you watch them, and many attach to a garden hose. Low-suction designs pull water down to a fraction of an inch.

Transfer pumps sit outside the water and push it through hoses from one place to another; pool cover pumps sit on the cover and switch on automatically when water collects. High-flow submersibles move the most water but need a larger hose or lay-flat discharge.

Start with your situation

A flooded floor, tub or window well

Submersible utility pumps drop into the water and push it out through a hose.

Our top picks

Draining a pool or a big flood fast

High-flow pumps move thousands of gallons an hour through a wide hose.

Our top picks

Water heaters, barrels and tanks

Transfer pumps sit outside the water and move it hose to hose.

Our top picks

Rain on a pool cover

Pool cover pumps sit on the cover; automatic ones switch on by themselves.

Our top picks

Before you buy

  • Hose. Garden-hose outlets limit flow; high-flow pumps need a 1-1/4 to 2 in discharge hose.
