7 Reasons why you need a Calor Gas Water Pump
1. Cheaper: A Calor Gas pump costs about half as much to run as a comparable petrol pump.
2. Quieter: Calor gas pumps are quieter than petrol or diesel, only 68db at 7 meters (about 20 feet away) that's about as loud as a dishwasher. From 100 ft you won't notice it's running.
The Greengear 2" water pump, is perfect for draining shallow flooded areas, pools, or garden ponds. It has a 30m lift and 416Lpm flow.
3. Safer: The fuel is already securely & safely stored in a cylinder, you have no problems with fuel spillage or contamination as the fuel supply is sealed, you just clip on the regulator and the pump is ready to go.
4. Greener: Fewer exhaust emissions than petrol including CO2, NOx and Sox
5. Less refilling: 1 X 19kg cylinder of Propane will power a Greengear 2" water pump with a 30 metre lift and a flow of 416 liters per minute running at 75% capacity, for 34 hours (uses 1.1L per hour), more than enough for most jobs. An equivalent 2" petrol pump with a 4 liter fuel tank will run for about 4 hours (uses 1.2L per hour) before needing refilling.
6. Cheaper maintenance: Reduced cost in service and repairs compared to petrol water pumps
7. Easier to work add-on jobs: Any water pump soon pays for itself with additional services such as flood drainage, soak-away sump pump out, pond emptying etc... With a Calor Gas water pump you don't have to keep returning to the job to refill it.

Working? Then you need a Calor Gas Water Pump
Called out at 2 am on a very cold, wet & windy February morning to a burst pipe in the basement.
There's already 6 inches of muddy water to splash around in which need shifting before starting work.
Grab that petrol (or, please no, 2 stroke diesel) pump off the van, connect up the pipes then try & fill up the fuel tank without splashing petrol around or letting rainwater contaminate your fuel.
Fire it up and watch the lights go on in the street, a couple of doors open and some bright spark shouts out “Oi do you know what time it is”.
Or Get your Calor gas pump out, take 5 seconds to connect a cylinder (no umbrella needed), turn it on with no worries about disturbing the neighbours or having to refill it in the rain a few hours later.
