I have never heard of them called trash pumps. I grew up in Michigan and they were always called sump pumps. Now that I think about it, I wonder why they are called sump pumps.

no, this is a sump pump, and they are called that because you put them in the sump.

Is that just a power generator? I did a lot construction crap as an undergrad for cash and never heard it called that. Although I was probably to busy being a "gopher" to have been around when they did.

Now that I see the pic I can't remember what I've always called them, but it wasn't a trash pump. I've primarily used them for removing water from a low spot and am therefore inclined to call it a water pump, but that doesn't sound right either.

Not where I'm from. Your trash pump was our sump pump. Every basement had one because the water table was so high and spring meltoff forced water up through the basement most years. Your sump pump is what we called a sludge pump.

the blue one is a water pump probably known by many names. one hose is required running from the water supply to the side of the pump. the second hose coming out of the top of the pump isn't required but can make for less of a mess and easier drainage when pumping.

I've always called those "farm pumps" because many times farmers will use them to irrigate their farms out of a holding pond.

I guess they could be called a trash pump because maybe any trash that gets sucked in will go through it?
