Any pump which is capable of moving ‘dirty’ water, by which we may mean greywater, water waste, pond water or muddy water, we call a dirty water pump. On this blog we wil be mainly interested in low voltage or 12v dirty water pumps. These may me used for pumping household greywater, for example but some higher wattage dirty water pumps wil also be capable of clearing dirty water including solids up to 18mm diameter from footings and ditches.

The Euroflow slurry pumps can handle the harshest types of conditions and move almost any type of materials quickly and efficiently, but that’s way out of the league for anything low voltage.

Here’s a dirty water pump being deployed in a small garden pond setting:
