Review Posted 04/12/2019
If you're looking for a premium pump at a great price 3" water pump, this Honda pump is your best option. And who doesn't know Honda?

For light or regular use on the farm or job site, this pump is worth the money. It provides plenty of run-time and weighs less than 60 pounds, so moving the pump around shouldn't be a problem for most.

To sum it all up, we recommend this water pump. It's a Honda!

Pump looks and works great. Couldn't start it at first, finally figured out it needed oil. I thought it shipped with oil, but it does not, and in the manual it does not inform you of that. Once I filled it with oil, it started on the first pull.

I bought this pump to pump water from under the ice on our lake and make an ice skating rink for my grandkids. It is simply awesome. The motor is the Honda great quality with plenty of power. Almost 300 gallons a minute it gets the job done. Totally satisfied and would highly recommend it.

Bad Bad Bad

Review Posted 07/07/2020 
I was very excited to get this pump up and running. It is highly rated and reviewed with a great flow rate. It started off with a lower flow than I expected as well as it was very loud. It ran great for the first day before it started sputtering. Day 2 it ran horribly before shutting down and refusing to start. Will start up for 10 min before shutting down and refusing to run.

When I reached out to Honda’s customer support, they referred me to a dealer that couldn’t do a thing for me. Super frustrated with the process and the response from Honda.

I am very disappointed in this pump and in Honda and would NOT recommend.

Very sorry that you're having problems with your pump. Honda provides a 3-Year Warranty on this model. The GX engine on this model is a very reliable engine, which shouldn't be giving you problems. I would suggest following up with Honda directly or finding another dealer in your area for service. Honda Dealer Locator

High quality design and materials. Honda engines are always the best. Always perfect operation. Starts EVERY time on the first pull. Many less expensive water pumps on the market, however when you need reliable operation “you only get what you pay for!

Pump does a fantastic job. Cranks on first pull and runs a long time on a tankful of gas. Just the pump I needed.

Bought this pump as an exact replacement for another I owned and used heavily for 6-7 years. There is a reason I bought it twice. It’s a workhorse and it’s very lightweight for its performance.

Great Honda Quality Pump

Review Posted 06/13/2018 
Great Honda pump. Starts easily and runs strong. Would run it until it ran out of gas and would go refuel. Sometimes took a little longer than expected to have the pump engage although it was always full of water.

Look At Other Options This Pump Comes With A Serious Headaches.
By R. R

Review Posted 06/05/2018 
Worked for about 20 minutes straight out of the box then shut down completely. Remains out of commission. Vendor refused return or exchange. Referred me to Honda’s support line who in turn referred me to a some third party that requires hauling it to their premises to be inspected for repairs. Total waste.

Jim, Do these types of trash pumps have a throttle control on them or are they pumping wide open throttle at max gpm all the time? There are times when I may want to pump 70-100 gpm but in an emergency I may need to pump 200 gpm. Do you have a better recommendation for a trash pump having similar specs. Better quality for similar price range?? Your input is greatly appreciated! Best regards,

Hi Jim, I would like to use the 3" Honda WB30 pump, but want to deliver water from a river to a garden plot 1,400 ft. away. Covering that much distance with 3" hose is too expensive. Is it possible to use a reducer from the 3" pressure port coupling and reduce down to a 3/4 inch pex tubing? Would this hurt the pump? Using that smaller diameter tubing would be ideal on my wallet. Also if you reduce the pressure end, do you need the source end on the suction side to be the same 3/4 inch diameter?
