Great little pump.
I had low expectations on this pump but it did extremely well draining my pool.I took the recommendation on one of the reviews to buy a larger hose for it because the garden hose was going to pop out slower.My pool is 17,000 gallons and it pumped the pool completely in less than 7 hours that's amazing.That local ducks were not happy at all LOL.It is very quiet and it works very well.I will put the link to the hose that works well with it.1.5" x 50' Water Discharge Hose with NPT Pin Lug and Nipple Fittings, Heavy Duty Reinforced PVC Pool Backwash Hose, Connect To Pump and Pipe Threaded Outlet https://a.co/d/hUgQnt8

Bought this to get the remaining water out of my pool. Great flow rate for such a small pump. I was pleased with the performance and price. The only thing I would change about this pump is I would put a longer cord on it. That why I rated it a 3 on ease of install but 5 on performance. Overall I would buy again and would recommend this pump.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Pump With Respectable Flow
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2011
Size: 1/4 HPStyle: ThermoplasticPattern Name: Utility PumpVerified Purchase
I got this pump to serve a utility function on an as-needed basis and it has performed flawlessly so far. Here are some features I have discovered through use:

Pros:

* Solid performance: I recently used this pump to clear out water that had accumulated in my backyard due to heavy rains. It worked perfectly and quickly using a 50 ft. garden hose attached to the adapter that comes with the unit. The volume of flow appeared to match what was advertised. This unit can effectively clear a flooded basement, a small pool, clogged bathtub, etc.

* Quiet operation: This pump can be used in a sump, but it can also be used to power a water fountain of decent size. It is very quiet during operation, producing a low hum. While I've not yet used the pump to move water to significant elevation, I have been impressed at how much water it moves without sounding like it's making an effort.

* Built-in screen: This unit has a built-in screen at the bottom, made of plastic and held on by screws. Anything smaller than the mesh just passes harmlessly through the pump and on out. If the screen becomes clogged, it can be removed and cleaned or the unit can be backflushed to clear any blockage.

* Versatile: This pump is rated for continuous-duty, but it also works very well as a back-up pump or for emergencies, sitting on a shelf ready when you need it. I use it for emergencies and projects and it's really handy to have. Like another reviewer, I use an apparatus that makes it easy to just grab it and go when needed: My pump lives in a five gallon plastic paint bucket that has had four, 1.5" holes drilled on the sides (evenly spaced at the very bottom, at 12, 3, 6, and 9 O'Clock), and lined with 1/4" galvanized hardware cloth. The holes in the sides of the bucket let the water in, and the hardware cloth screen out the larger bits of leaves, etc. Keeping the pump in the bucket allows me to transport it easily and lower it by the handle when I need to. The pump also includes a hose adapter that screws onto the 1.5 MIP outlet. Nice!

* Decent and tough cord: Mine came with the standard 10' long electrical cord, which is long enough for my purposes. It's stiff, though, made of a material that loses all flexibility when it's cold. In the hot sunshine, it coils up better, but in the cold it can be a pain. (Which is also why I store the pump in the bucket: It makes it easy to stuff the cord in when it doesn't feel like coiling up nicely.

* Durable but Light: The housing is made up entirely of thermoplastic. This makes for a pump that is light but also durable. While not as heavy duty as some others, the housing is well-matched to the relatively small motor, which also draws very lightly from house current. I have used this on many occasions and it has always worked without a hiccup. For its size and duty rating, I have been impressed.

Cons:

* Cord can be stiff, especially at colder temps.

Other Thoughts:

When using the hose adapter for the outflow, I use Teflon tape; The adapter does not form a tight seal against the outlet pipe and the pressure of the pump is sufficient to create a decent leak or spray of water from this point. Another benefit of using Teflon tape here is that it also makes the adapter easier to take off. Also, this particular model does not have a float - it turns on when you plug it in, so consider that if you are looking for one with a float-actuated switch.

This pump is unique in that it can easily be found servicing a fountain (residential or commercial), or doing residential sump pump duty, or serving as a homeowner or contractor's utility pump.

While this pump is not as heavy duty as many others, it is a solid and respectable performer. It has proven extremely durable and useful for its size, and the price makes it an outstanding value. Given its flexibility, usefulness, and value, I find it easy to give this a five star rating and can recommend it. I would definitely buy this pump again if I had to do it over as I have found no other that matches the capability, reliability, and durability at this price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used for pool level maintenance

We have an in-ground pool with an integrated spill over spa that is essentially level with the pool but do not have a built-in outlet to drain the pool/spa. With heavy or long bouts of rain, it can cause the pool water level to be higher than the spa level, which means we cannot solely heat the spa; we would have to heat the entire pool to spa temp to enjoy. Finally asked our pool guy what we can do and he recommended a pump (not this one in particular). Anyway, for our purposes, it works great hooking up to a standard garden hose. I did but the extra lay flat house and hookup recommended but after trying it with just our garden hose, it did what i needed withoit those pieces so i returned them without trying it out. I am sure the lay flat would be much quicker but for my purposes, there is no urgency to get the water out so it wasnt worth the extra cost. If i ever need to drain the pool or more than a few inches of water across the pool, then I will definitely come back for the lay flat hookup.

I do wish the cord was longer. I need to use an extension cord to get it from my closest outlet to the pool.

I use it to empty my 400 gallon hot tub and I keep it handy for any emergency flooding I might have in the basement. It empties the hot tub quickly and the pump is strong enough that you can put your finger over the hose end and spray like you’d do with a garden hose on a spigot. It’s a small work horse.

This pump is very strong. Lowered 24,000-gallon inground pool for the winter. Used this Superior Pump to drain remaining 18,000 gallons. Depth ranged from 3' down to 9'. Total time was about 9 hours. Sleeved 1.5" flex pvc over 1.25" opening. Connected 2" drain hose to that. Pump had no problem pushing water up and out. Very impressive and highly recommend.

I purchased this pump to pump water in my aquaponics system. It failed in just a few weeks. I requested a replacement from warranty. I wasn’t expecting much! I was surprised they got back to me the very next day and went over the reason the pump failed. I was using it in the wrong application. They agreed to replace it with the correct pump. You really get to see the true colors of a company when you ask for warranty. I will never buy a pump from anyone other than Superior pump.

Bought this pump to empty my hot tub. It works quite well. As it's only a garden hose, it is a slow process but I knew that going in. I have had no issues at all with this unit and would recommend to anyone using it for small draining purposes.

Extrae la mayor parte de liquido, dejando un nivel pequeño de agua. Adecuado cuando se extrae el nivel pequeño de agua de un tinaco.
