pump or generator
Explanation:
Don't forget that "grupo" is one of those Spanish words (like "tren" and "central") that can have 40 different meanings. E.g. a "grupo" is an electricity generator, among other things. It might mean "pump" in this context, or a combination of electricity generator plus pump, for portable applications.
