2" and 3' gas pumps are great for small ponds that only need few hours to pump down.Sometimes there is no power for electric pumps, also a lot of time once you start digging these gas pumps need to keep running.

Electric pumps are great, you can plug them in and walk away they do not need much tending to once up and running.
