Aquastrong Sump Pump 1 HP 4500 GPH Submersible Water Pump Thermoplastic Portable Utility Pump High Flow Water Removal for Swimming Pool Garden Pond Basement Window Wells with 10ft Long Power Cord

This pump was purchased to move water from our pool just prior to large storms that were forecast. It arrived the day before the rains (thanks to Amazon's quick service) and it was very easy to deploy. Simply open the box, place the handle on the top, deploy it to the pool and plug it in. Super easy and very efficient. A++

amazing pump! fast, strong, easy to use. One thing, you do need a certain depth of water for it to work. We had seepage in our basement, and even when it was about a half inch, the pump couldn't pick it up. so we used a shop vac that was large enough to submerge the pump (when connected to the hose). Tremendous! It does not have an off switch, which means you have to unplug it / turn off the power strip to turn it off.

This is a fantastic and powerful submersible water pump with some really nifty features built in. The automatic on/off float switch activates the pump when water levels rise and shuts it off as levels drop, preventing dry runs and making it virtually hands-off. There's also a clever integrated handle that doubles as a float holder, so you can override the float if you want continuous operation down to an inch or so of fluid height. The pump includes multiple discharge fittings to match different hose types, including a garden hose adapter, which adds a lot of versatility. I’ve been using it to drain an inflatable pool, and it works incredibly fast, much faster than expected. The long power cord adds convenience, and the build feels durable and reliable. A quick test in the bathtub even proved the suction and output are more powerful than I realized (maybe not the best test spot, unless you enjoy unexpected indoor rain) haha! All in all, this pump does everything I hoped for and more, and I’d definitely recommend for any draining needs!

It acted up. But, our installer fixed and no problems since.

Works great to drain overflow in my pool over the fall and winter months
