Description:
I won't rewrite the manufacturers description, but would like to note the very durable impact resistant case, and the highly stable, upright position of the pump due to the wide base and low center of gravity.
Put to the Test:
I've used this pump outdoors on more than twenty occasions, twice having continuous pumping for over 36 hours. My home expansion construction site floods during heavy rain from soil and roof runoff, and every time I have successfully removed about 99% the water with the Geyser II. Sometimes the water was quite full of silt and plant debris, but the pump never stopped working. (I took another reviewer's suggestion to drill holes in a plastic 5 gallon bucket. This worked nicely to limit leaf debris from clogging the pump base.)
Specification:
Curious about the 1260 GPH spec, and also interested in calculating how much water I had pumped, I performed a calibration of the pump under typical conditions at my site. I placed the pump in the aforementioned hole riddled bucket with the pump base submerged approximately 16 inches. I had 2 x 50' lengths of 3/4 hose connected to the outlet with approximately 3 1/2 feet of rise from the pump base to the hose outlet. The pump was connected to power with a 12 gauge 25' outdoor extension cord. I also did a quick calibration of the bucket to confirm 5 gallons to be very near the top of the bucket. I timed 5 gallons fill 3 times, with an average of 46 seconds. This calculates to 9.6 secs/gallon or 375 GPH. This is substantially less than the advertised pump rate, so keep in mind 2 factors that will affect your results: water head height and pipe back pressure. So to improve your pump performance, if possible, decrease the height the water is pumped and decrease the pipe back pressure by shortening the length of effluent hose or by increasing its diameter. By my calibration, I can roughly calculate the Geyser II pumped 13,500 gallons in the 36 hour stretch. Quite impressive I think.
Important note:
I've read other reviewers describe running the pump dry for extended period. When I did this, perhaps for an hour or so after the pump evacuated all the water from the site, I noticed the cord and plug got quite hot. I'm not sure if the cord is underrated for the amount of current when pumping dry, but I suggest users pay attention to this if they pump dry.
Conclusion:
I am very pleased with this pump's performance, despite my conditions not resulting in the advertised pump rate. I think the manufacture must have used the most ideal conditions to arrive at the 1260 GPH rate; perhaps measured with NO effluent hose, and pump submerged to the level of outlet. But, in my opinion, that is not really a realistic operating condition.
Cheers!
Now this is the 2nd pump I received from Amazon. The first one came and was missing the adapter and appeared to be used. I immediately told Amazon about it and they shipped me a new one in 3 days, and sent me a postage paid return label so I could just drop the old one off at the post office. They also offered me a sincere apology. I had over a month to return the old one (before they would charge me for it). I thought the service I received by Amazon was excellent, and would highly recommend them for any product you wish to order.
