Sludge Pump Accessory for Pressure Washers
This flow-driven attachment is magic to see in use. With no moving parts, the sludge pump can move clean water, wastewater, and suspended solids using only a pressure washer nozzle. The pump connects via a quick coupling to the end of a high-pressure hose and is placed directly into the liquid to be transferred.
Inside the pump head is a U-bend with a nozzle that directs water up the discharge hose. When the pressure washer is turned on, the jet creates low pressure in the pump head, drawing in the surrounding liquid along with any solids small enough to pass through the hose.
This attachment works on all pressure washers but is more effective the bigger you go. For example-
- 150l/min
- Flow 300l/min
The Sludge pump will push water up to a maximum head of about 2.5m. Ideal for pumping out of a flooded cellar or to empty a pit when drain jetting.
