Milwaukee has further enhanced its water transfer pump lineup with the introduction of the all – new M18 Brushless Stick Transfer Pump (2940 – 20). This powerful tool is designed to handle larger dewatering applications on job sites, building on the success of the M12 Stick Transfer Pump (2579 – 20) released in 2022.
Features of the M18 Brushless Stick Transfer Pump
High Flow Rate and Extended Runtime
The M18 model stands out with an impressive 25 gallons per minute flow rate, enabling it to handle large volumes of water effortlessly. Powered by the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE 12.0 battery, it can pump up to 1,000 gallons on a single charge. This extended runtime is crucial for tough jobs that require continuous operation.
High Head Height and Versatility
The pump features a 17 – foot maximum head height, allowing it to move water over tall obstacles or out of deep trenches. This makes it highly versatile for various dewatering applications, such as vaults, trenches, pits, and other large debris – filled areas.
HYDROPASS Filtration and Extended Submersible Reach
Both the M18 and M12 transfer stick pumps are equipped with HYDROPASS filtration, a 360° filter that ensures uninterrupted performance by preventing clogging in debris – filled water, even in the toughest conditions. The M18 offers an extended 48″ submersible reach, providing flexibility for accessing water in deeper or harder – to – reach areas like pits, vaults, and trenches. The extra length, combined with the power of the brushless motor, enhances both control and the tool’s longevity.
Fast Water Transfer and Multiple Hose Options
The M18 features a 1 – 1/4″ discharge outlet for faster water transfer. It also includes a Y – adapter, allowing you to connect up to two standard ¾” garden hoses. This feature ensures maximum performance regardless of the hoses available on – site.
Comparison with the M12 Stick Transfer Pump
Battery Platform
One of the main differences between the M18 and M12 Stick Transfer Pumps is the battery platform. The M18 uses the more powerful M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE 12.0 battery, which provides higher power output and longer runtime compared to the battery used in the M12.
Flow Rate and Head Height
The M18 has a significantly higher flow rate of 25 gallons per minute compared to the M12. Additionally, the M18’s maximum head height of 17 feet is greater than that of the M12, allowing it to handle more challenging dewatering tasks.
Submersible Reach
The M18 offers an extended 48″ submersible reach, while the M12 has a shorter reach. This extra length of the M18 provides more flexibility for accessing water in deeper or harder – to – reach areas.
Discharge Outlet and Hose Options
The M18 features a larger 1 – 1/4″ discharge outlet and a Y – adapter for connecting up to two standard ¾” garden hoses. The M12 may have different specifications in this regard, which could affect the speed of water transfer and the ability to adapt to different hose setups on the job site.
In conclusion, the Milwaukee M18 Brushless Stick Transfer Pump is a significant upgrade over the M12 model, offering enhanced performance, versatility, and convenience for larger – scale dewatering jobs. Its powerful battery, high flow rate, extended head height, and additional features make it a valuable tool for professionals in the construction and other industries that require efficient water transfer solutions.
