With more heavy rain forecast many properties are at risk from flooding right through to the end of the month, according to the Metmen.
So here are three water pumps from Loncin which could well prove very useful. And they still have their uses through the summer for pumping out swimming pools and ponds which need cleaning out.
The Loncin LC25ZB21-1.2Q 1” Petrol Powered Water Pump can shift 8000 litres an hour thanks to a 97 cc engine which has been designed to be easy to start and be mean on fuel.
It is made from aluminium alloy and has a maximum lift of 21 metres and has a low oil protection device to prevent damage should the levels get low and has a sturdy stand and a carrying handle – it weighs only 13 kg.
Currently there is £50 off the maker’s recommended retail price at £119. Free next day delivery and a two year warranty are included.
A more powerful model from the same firm is the Loncin LC80ZB35-4.5Q 3” Petrol Powered Water Pump.
This one can shift 48,000 litres an hour and is powerful enough to be used for allotment and garden irrigation.
It has a 163 cc engine but is still quiet when running. The impellor and exit chamber are made from cast iron and the seals are ceramic.
It has a lift of 20 metres and suction of six metres and costs £169, £80 less than Loncin’s recommended retail price.
Next day delivery is free and there is a two year warranty from the makers.
And the company’s top of the range machine is the Loncin
LC50ZB60-4.5Q 2” Petrol Powered High Lift Water Pump, smooth in running and yet robustly built and suitable for commercial use.
The 196 cc engine is easy to start and is ideal for more demanding tasks like underground tanks, deep pools and wells with a lift of around 60 metres.
It can pump 30,000 litres and hour and is self-priming so there are no air pockets and a double impellor contributes to performance
It costs £249, over £120 off the maker’s recommended retail price and is delivered free the next working day with a two year warranty.
