FAQs

1. What is a pump stick, and how does it work in plumbing?

A pump stick is a portable, battery-powered or manual suction pump designed to remove water from tight spaces like clogged pipes, sumps, or flooded areas. It works by creating a vacuum that draws liquid through an intake hose and expels it elsewhere, making it a useful tool for clearing blockages or draining excess water.

2. Can a pump stick remove both water and debris from pipes?

Yes, many pump sticks come with filters or mesh screens that allow them to handle not only water but also small debris, silt, and sludge. However, they are not meant for large solid blockages, which may require a plumbing snake or auger.

3. What are the best situations to use a pump stick in plumbing?

A pump stick is ideal for draining water from sink cabinets, clearing waterlogged pipes before repairs, removing standing water from flooded areas, and maintaining sump pits or HVAC condensation lines.

4. Is a pump stick battery-operated or does it require a power outlet?

Most pump sticks, including the Reed Pump Stick, are battery-operated, providing excellent portability and convenience. This cordless design allows users to work in areas without direct access to electrical outlets.

5. How high can a pump stick lift water?

A high-quality pump stick, such as the Reed Pump Stick, can lift water to 12 feet above the base of the pump, making it effective for various drainage and water removal tasks.
