As of 2026-10-31, Amazon US shows a few listings that name Drummond as the manufacturer: a 1/10 HP transfer pump, a 1/6 HP submersible utility pump and a 1 HP shallow well pump with a tank. Each is sold by a third-party seller, and the brand field on each reads Generic. We found no Drummond water pump sold there as a sump pump, a condensate pump or a sewage pump. Below the Drummond listings are alternatives of the same types, with the same fields.

How alternatives are pickedSame type of gear from other brands, closest first: same price tier as Drummond’s own listings at our last check, then the most maker-published specs. No popularity, no paid placement.
Good for moving water from one place to another through a garden hose. The listing states 1/10 HP, 320 GPH, 42 ft of lift, self-priming, a 3/4 in hose thread, a 6 ft cord, a suction tube and strainer included, and CSA and ETL certification.
Skip it if you need a pump that switches itself on in a pit; this is a portable transfer pump.
Good for pulling standing water off a floor, a pool cover or a low spot in the yard. The listing states 1/6 HP, 1,600 GPH, 25 ft of lift and a 3/4 in garden hose adapter.
Skip it if you need a sump pump that sits in a pit full-time; the listing describes a submersible utility pump for water removal and doesn't state an automatic switch.
Good for a shallow well that needs a pump, switch and tank in one box. The listing states 1 HP, 950 GPH, 115.5 ft of lift, a 30/50 PSI pressure switch and a 5-gallon steel tank, for a shallow well up to 26 ft deep.
Skip it if your well's water level is deeper than a shallow well pump can reach; check the depth first, and leave the wiring to a licensed electrician.
Here's the plain version, as of the data date, 2026-10-31.
Listed and in stock on Amazon US:
Each names DRUMMOND as the manufacturer. The brand field on each listing reads Generic. A third-party seller offers them.
Not found on Amazon US: a Drummond sump pump, condensate pump, sewage or effluent pump, pool cover pump, sprinkler pump or trash pump. We also looked at an older Drummond-branded 1/10 HP transfer pump listing on 2026-10-24. It had no seller offering it.
We don't know why the lineup on Amazon US is this short, and we won't guess. A short list isn't a verdict on the pumps. It's just what's listed.
Ana's ruling: a listing with Generic on the brand line and Drummond on the manufacturer line would get two cards in her catalog and a "see also" between them. So this page files it under Drummond and shows its work.
The listings cover different jobs. People search for a Drummond water pump for all sorts of tasks, so it helps to know which job each type does before you compare one against anything else.
A transfer pump sits outside the water. It pulls water in through one hose and pushes it out through another. You'd use one to empty a rain barrel, a water heater, a hot tub or a flooded low spot, or to move water from one tank to another.
The Drummond transfer pump listing states 1/10 HP, 320 GPH and 42 ft of lift. It also states that the pump is self-priming and comes with a suction tube and an inlet strainer. Self-priming means it pulls water up the suction hose on its own, without you filling it first.
Read the manual's priming and run-time notes before the first use. A transfer pump that's never been read about tends to get read about later, in a puddle.
See water transfer pumps and the best transfer pumps for the same fields across brands.
A submersible utility pump goes into the water. You set it down, run a garden hose to a drain spot outside, plug it in and let it work. It's for the jobs that show up once in a while: a pool cover after a storm, a window well, a flooded floor.
The Drummond utility pump listing states 1/6 HP, 1,600 GPH and 25 ft of lift, with a 3/4 in garden hose adapter. It names basements, pools, ponds and yard drainage among its uses.
NDSU Extension describes this kind of pump in its sump pump questions. It says small pumps, sometimes called skimmer pumps, sit on a flat surface and pump when water on the floor is only 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, and can often be used with a common garden hose. It adds that a 50-foot hose run out through a basement window will usually carry the water far enough from the house.
A utility pump isn't a sump pump. A sump pump lives in a pit and turns itself on when water rises. The Drummond utility listing doesn't state an automatic switch. See utility pumps.
A shallow well pump sits above ground and pulls water up from a well. The pressure tank stores water under pressure so the pump doesn't start every time a tap opens. The pressure switch turns the pump on and off as the tank pressure drops and rises.
The Drummond well pump listing states 1 HP, 950 GPH, 115.5 ft of lift, an automatic 30/50 PSI pressure switch and a 5-gallon steel tank. It describes use with a shallow well up to 26 ft deep.
The depth is the number to check first. One maker of shallow well jet pumps says its pumps are for installations where the vertical distance from the pump to the water level doesn't exceed 25 ft, including draw-down, and less at high altitude. Draw-down is how far the water level drops while the pump runs. Know where your water sits, and how far it drops, before you shop.
A well pump replacement is also an electrical and plumbing job. If yours is hard-wired, that's a call for a pro. See shallow well pumps and well pumps.
There isn't one listed, so here's what to look for in any sump pump instead.
A sump pump sits in a pit in the basement floor and moves groundwater out before it reaches the floor. Its switch turns it on when water rises. NDSU Extension says a 1/3 HP pump is satisfactory for most houses, and that a 1/2 HP pump moves more water and lifts it higher in similar conditions. It also says that where water comes into the pit slowly, the bigger pump has no advantage.
The fields that matter, and that the alternatives table shows when the maker states them:
NDSU adds that either style of sump pump should have a check valve on the discharge pipe, so water doesn't flow back into the pit. Community Association Underwriters of America, an insurer, says submersible pumps are much quieter than pedestal pumps. See sump pumps and the best sump pumps.
There isn't one listed on Amazon US either. A condensate pump is a small pump with a reservoir that moves water from an air conditioner, a furnace or a dehumidifier drain to somewhere it can go, usually when there's no floor drain low enough for gravity to do it.
That's the one pump in this family I know from the inside of other people's closets. For 34 years, a lot of my service calls started with a puddle next to a furnace. Here's what to read on any condensate pump listing:
Match those to the job and the old pump. See condensate pumps.
A lot of people searching for a Drummond pump already have one. It's in the shed or the basement, it quit, and they want the same thing again. Good instinct. Here's the thing: you don't need the same brand. You need the same job done.
Read the plate first. The data plate on the old pump tells you most of what you need:
Then match those in the alternatives table. If the new pump's ports are a different size, check what fittings the manual calls for before you order.
I spent 34 years writing data plates down on the backs of service tickets. The plates were always more honest than the box. They had fewer adjectives to work with.
The alternatives come from other brands and cover the same jobs: sump pumps and utility and transfer pumps. The order follows a stated rule, which is printed under the alternatives table. It doesn't follow brand preference, and no brand pays for a place on it.
Every value in the tables comes from the maker or the Amazon listing, as stated. A dash means neither one states it. Flow stays in the unit the maker uses; we don't turn gallons per minute into gallons per hour.
We don't show prices. The "Check price" button opens the current Amazon US listing, where the price is set. The Drummond listings and the alternatives update as the data does, about once a week.
Pumps sold as "compatible with" or "fits" Drummond, and replacement parts, aren't Drummond-brand pumps, and we leave them off this page.
If more Drummond listings appear on Amazon US, they'll show up in the table on this page first. If these go away, the page will say so.
Read the plate. Then pick the pump for the job.
On Amazon US, as of 2026-10-31, a few listings name Drummond as the manufacturer: a transfer pump, a submersible utility pump and a shallow well pump with a tank. They come from a third-party seller. An older Drummond-branded transfer pump listing had no seller offering it when we checked on 2026-10-24. We don't track other stores.
We couldn't confirm this from a source we can cite. The current Amazon US listings name DRUMMOND in the manufacturer field and Generic in the brand field, and none of them names a parent company. We don't repeat ownership claims we can't verify.
We couldn't confirm the company's status. What we can say is what the listings show: as of 2026-10-31, pumps naming Drummond as the manufacturer are in stock on Amazon US from a third-party seller. We check the listings every week, and this page changes when they do.
Not as of 2026-10-31. The nearest Drummond listing is a 1/6 HP submersible utility pump with a stated 1,600 GPH and 25 ft lift, sold for water removal. A utility pump is set in the water by hand when you need it; it isn't built to sit in a pit and switch itself on. For a pit, see the sump pump alternatives below.
Start with the paperwork that came in the box, and the model number on the pump's data plate. For a pump bought on Amazon, the order page shows the seller, and the seller is the first contact for returns. We don't publish warranty terms we have not seen in writing from the maker.
We don't rate brands, and we have not collected buyer reviews for these listings. What the listings state: the transfer pump lists 320 GPH and 42 ft of lift, the utility pump 1,600 GPH and 25 ft, and the well pump 950 GPH and 115.5 ft with a 5-gallon tank. Compare those with the alternatives on the same fields.
