HOMA pumps
The short version: HOMA, a German-owned maker of submersible wastewater pumps with a U.S. base in Ansonia, Connecticut, is Pump Professionals’ largest brand, with 1,897 listings on 9 November 2026.[1][2]
The manufacturer
HOMA is a maker of submersible pumps for municipal and industrial wastewater. Its U.S. company is based in Ansonia, Connecticut, and the parent, HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH, is in Germany; HOMA says it has served wastewater customers for over 70 years.[1]
What Pump Professionals lists
HOMA is by far the largest brand on the site, with 1,897 listings on 9 November 2026.[2] The first pages of the brand listing are dominated by parts: 3-inch vertical discharge assemblies, stainless guide-claw assemblies, adapter kits for other makers’ guide rails (Flygt, Fairbanks Morse, ABS, Yeomans and one labeled “Hydro”) and seals.[2] Adapters like these let a HOMA pump drop into a lift station built around another brand’s rail system, which is a contractor and municipal job rather than a homeowner one.
Grinder pumps
The brand page highlights the GRP12-3, a 1.2 hp, 460 V three-phase grinder pump listed at $1,961.05, which it describes as built with a hardened cutter system to resist clogging.[2] The Barracuda GRP19/1 product page describes a 2 hp, 230 V single-phase submersible grinder for high-head pumping, with a hardened stainless cutter that grinds soft solids so that small-diameter pipe can be used; listed specifications include 3,450 rpm, a 1-1/4-inch threaded vertical discharge, a 32-foot cable, dual mechanical seals and a thermal sensor in the motor winding, with external start components required. It was listed at $1,718.60.[3] How grinder pumps work is explained on grinder pumps.
Reading a HOMA listing
The listings encode the key electrical choices in the title: horsepower, voltage (230 V or 460 V, for example) and phase (single or three).[2][3] Single-phase power is what most homes have; three-phase is usual in commercial and municipal lift stations. A replacement must match the supply, and many larger pumps need a separate control panel with start components, as the GRP19/1 listing notes.[3][4]
The supplier’s HOMA guide
A June 2026 post on the supplier’s blog is a long guide to HOMA grinder pumps, covering performance, applications and selection.[5] Its practical point, that the right model depends on the head the pump must overcome, the flow needed and the power available, is consistent with general pump-selection principles.[6][5]
Before buying
- Record the existing pump’s model, horsepower, voltage and phase from its nameplate.
- Check the discharge size and the rail or guide system in the basin.
- Confirm whether the pump needs an external control panel.
- Ask the supplier to confirm fit; the site offers sizing help.[7]
