electric pump

Powered fluid pusher

An electric pump is a pump powered by an electric motor rather than by manual effort, combustion engine, or other power source.

Electric pumps move fluids or gases in countless applications—water wells, aquariums, swimming pools, fuel systems, medical devices.

The sump pump kicks on automatically when water rises in the basement.
