Alternatives To Renting A Water Pump at Home Depot
If you don’t have a Home Depot near you or if you’d rather rent from somewhere else, water pumps are a super common piece of equipment that can be rented from pretty much any rental store.
Other companies that rent out water pumps include:
You can also try checking out the independent rental store in your area to see if they have water pumps available for rent.
If you do not need to remove a significant amount of standing water from your space, then you could consider renting a dehumidifier instead, which are also available from Home Depot and most other rental stores.
How do you get water out of your basement without a pump?
This depends on how much water you are trying to remove. Dehumidifiers are effective at removing water even from excessively wet spaces, but if you have more than a few inches of standing water, then you will probably want to use a pump or find some other way to drain the space. You can browse Home Depot’s dehumidifier rental options here.
As you begin shopping for water pumps, consider the power source. Your pump may be powered by electricity, gas, diesel, compressed air, natural gas or hydraulics. Pumps can even be powered manually. Electric water pumps are ideal for most homes. Use them to rid your basement of floodwaters or to fill your pool, as long as you have an outlet within reach. When you lose power, you don’t necessarily lose your electric water pump, because most will have a battery backup. Gas powered water pumps are generally stronger and used for bigger jobs when you need to quickly move a lot of water. You’ll most likely find gas-powered pumps on a farm or construction site.
Some other water pumps you may need around the house include sprinkler pumps, which draw in the water for your sprinkler systems and pool pumps, to clean and circulate the water in your pool, keeping it fresh and clean. Pond pumps are sometimes called fountain pumps. They circulate water in and out of your decorative water features. So, if youre creating a fountain or waterfall, these types of water garden pumps are exactly what youll need.
Utility pumps are used for short-term purposes or emergencies to transfer liquids from one place to another. If youre just moving water, go with a utility pump. However, if the water contains debris or solids, go with a trash pump or sewage pump, instead. Sewage Pumps move liquids and semi-solid waste from a toilet to the septic line or sewer. Sewage pumps typically can handle waste solids up to 2″ in diameter. Effluent pumps are like sewage pumps, but can only handle very small solid waste, with diameters up to ¾”. Effluent pumps drain away what’s known as greywater. This is the dirty water from your washing machine, dishwater or sink.
Protect your home from flooding, with a water pump from The Home Depot. Pumps are used to move water or other liquids from one place to another. There are several different types of pumps. The type you choose depends mostly on how you plan to use it. Water pumps may be used commercially or residentially, for draining a flooded basement, draining a hot tub or spa or for a sprinkler system. Whether you’re looking for sump pumps, pool pumps, well pumps or anything in between – we have the water pumps you need to get the job done.
You may have either a pedestal or a submersible sump pump. Pedestal sump pumps are long and slim. They are common if you have a very shallow or narrow sump pit. The motor of a pedestal sump pump is not sealed, so it cannot be submerged in water. Submersible sump pumps have sealed motors and can be submerged in the water. Generally installed when a home is being built, submersible sump pumps are less obtrusive and ideal for finished basements. Battery backup sump pumps come in handy when there’s a loss of power because they can continue to run for hours on rechargeable batteries. Choose a battery backup sump pump that alerts you with sound or light when there’s a problem.
