The RELIABLE REL-TP3 Hydraulic Trash Pump

is lightweight, yet capable of moving high volumes
of water, and solids (sand slurries, gravel, and
sludge) up to 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter and
30% by volume.

The REL-TP3 pump is fully submersible, self

priming, and may be run dry, without damage to
the motor, bearings or impeller.These urethane
pumps have a history of pumping sand, gravel,
concrete, and even mortar slurries without issue.

The REL-TP3 is even able to pump petroleum

products without issue.
The urethane bowl and impeller are extremely

durable and light weight. Hard and sharp materials
bounce off instead of abrading the interior surfaces,
making this design last longer and perform better
than aluminum, iron and even steel pumps.

The high volume impeller is complimented by a

3” (75 mm) inlet and outlet to make the REL-TP3

one of the most productive pumps on the market.
This unit is capable of pumping over 450 gpm
(1,688 lpm) at a 10 ft. (2.54 m) head from any
2,000 psi (HTMA
only 9 gpm (34 lpm) of hydraulic flow.

The top cover is attached to the volute with
six large wing nuts making routine cleaning,

inspection and maintenance FAST & EASY.
The convenient Split Handles provides a well

balanced lift.

The REL-TP3 Trash Pump can be paired with the

REL-HPU-2000 Hydraulic Power Unit to make a

Powerful Portable Combo for high volume trash

pump and dewatering applications.
