Product Overview
Finally, a submersible trash pump that can run dry without damage! Hycon Hydraulic Submersible Trash Pumps: High quality and performance. The Hycon submersible trash pump is a VORTEX pump. VORTEX pumps are designed especially for dirty water with solids.

With other types of trash pumps, the water is pumped directly by the impeller, which is therefore worn much faster. A Hycon VORTEX trash pump works much differently. The impeller at top creates a revolving mass of water which forms a vortex. At the center is a cone of air. The water and it's solids are forced away from the impeller. Because there is very little contact between the water and the impeller, wear is greatly reduced as compared to other types of pumps. If it can flow to the pump then the pump can lift it out!
The Hycon Pump is primarily made out of aluminum. It will pump saltwater, but you will need to rinse it with freshwater after use. Long exposure to saltwater will corrode this pump. Most pump manufactures recommend a freshwater flush after every use in saltwater.
