Yes, being rated for sewage means it can handle solids to some extent, but is still fully capable of pumping water. The majority of what it pumps is water anyway, it doesn't care where it's coming from. yes but u shouldent use it for that
*- It's done all the time. Make sure you're operating it with normal minimum submergence as required in the owners manual and you're FINE pumping any water you want.
