Drill pump
A drill pump is a special type of pump that is driven by a drill .
Due to the simple design and the lack of a motor, the acquisition costs are relatively low. Drill pumps are primarily intended for private households. They are suitable for pumping water, but often also for food, such as wine. With a few exceptions, the delivery rate and pressure are often small, so that drilling machine pumps are not suitable for operating sprinklers . Possible applications would be pumping out a rain barrel or decanting work in private winemaking . It is also used as a barrel pump or for draining boats or garden ponds. It is also used for filling solar systems or draining pipes. The life of drilling machine pumps with plastic impellers is relatively short because the impellers are exposed to strong friction and often overheat quickly. Pumps with a metal rotor are really durable and have a high pumping capacity.
Manufacturers of drilling machine pumps include Gardena and Lux.
