Higdon Warthog Floating Pump

Higdon Warthog Floating Pump - The Warthog is the world's best floating pump! The Warthog Pump is a light and portable unit, but moves 850 gallons of water per minute.

An economical and speedy alternative to other pumping methods, the Warthog is great for commercial or personal use around your home, farm, or business. Each Warthog includes 100ft of high pressure hose, clamps, and quick connect coupler.
