Balwaan 7 HP Petrol Water Pump WP-33R

The Balwaan WP-33R is a 7 HP petrol water pump with 3 inch inlet and outlet ports. It is used for field irrigation, draining water from low areas, filling tanks and moving water on farms and construction sites, where a large volume of water is needed quickly rather than high pressure. Balwaan lists a 170F single-cylinder, air-cooled 4-stroke petrol engine running at 3600 RPM, driving a centrifugal pump. Discharge is up to 1000 litres per minute through the 7.62 cm (3 inch) outlet, and maximum suction depth is 8 metres. The fuel tank holds 3.6 litres, fuel use is about 850 ml per hour and engine oil capacity is 650 ml. It has a recoil starter, an oil alert sensor that protects the engine when oil runs low, and a protective frame. Gross weight is 23.9 kg. Tip: prime the pump casing with water before starting, and fit a strainer on the suction hose to keep stones and debris out.
