Little pump than can!

Great little pump! I have a ditch that fills up about 4 times a year after we get about 3" of rain (anything less and no problem) that I wanted to drain to keep from killing the grass and Bought this to drain it..Have had it 2 years now and it works flawlessly..super quiet and effective...The before and after picts are 4 hours apart and there was a lot of water there!

Wins against hurricane Matthew!

Getting us through hurricane Matthew southeast of Raleigh, NC, as the basement sump pump couldn't keep up with hours of 6" per hour rainfall. Deployed the pump and have been lowering the water 1" per hour with about a 10' lift (1200 gal/hr). Generator standing by just in case but this little guy saved the furnace and hot water heater!

Indestructible?

Have owned this pump for 2 years and given it only light workouts. The last two weeks have seen much more rain than ever expected in this region (NC, SC) and the soils were quickly saturated. The well at the bottom of our outside basement steps has a floor drain, but it backed up last week and the basement got flooded. This pump got us dry again, but because it doesn't have an automatic shutoff (we've looked for zero-clearance switches, but haven't really found any add-ons suitable for our application), we have been waking up every few hours to unplug it or to plug it in as needed. We missed one downpour early the other morning, with predictable results. By last night, I was exhausted enough that I plugged it in and just left it to run all night long. Slept like a baby, but when I got up to check it, the well outside the basement door was dry and I didn't hear the motor, even after plugging/unplugging it several times. I figured it had burned out, but also figured it was reasonably cheap insurance for the heavy use and, finally, for a good night's sleep. Then, to my surprise, after a couple of gallons of water had accumulated, I tried it once more and the water disappeared. It appears still to be running strong! I can't say enough for this little workhorse. It tosses the water up about 7-ft vertical through a 1-1/4 in. hose and keeps on going. I'v added a check valve and a union coupler to make setup and breakdown easier (see photos). Not optimal for some applications, but highly recommended for value and quality.

'Hillybilly' hot tub instructions!

I bought this pump to make a 'hillbilly' hot tub in my yard. It worked out great and this little thing really pumps out some water! I spent about $500 total and propane is about $16 and lasts a few weeks. The only other cost is the electricity while running the pump and the cost of the water, (which can be used for a few days without chemicals). You'll need: - Metal stock tank (I used a round 5ft diameter/2 ft deep tank which holds about 300 gallons of water - PowerFit PF31089 Garden Hose Inlet Filter (MUST HAVE) - (2) Camco 22763 TastePURE Drinking Water Hose (1/2"ID x 4') - Lead Free - Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater and Outdoor Shower - (2) Gilmour 7FHS7FH Double Female Swivel Brass Connector, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch - Regular garden hose - Propane tank and batteries for the water heater TIPS: 1. You really need the inlet filter. The water heater has a tiny mesh screen that gets clogged up even with just tiny clothing fibers. The inlet filter saves the day. You'll also need to get two of the short hoses to connect the inlet filter. 2. Take the time to securely connect all hoses to/from the water heater. If anything is leaking, the heater stops working. 3. I haven't addressed the 15 min heater cut-off. I just set a timer and turn it back on after a few minutes. 4. The inlet assembly has been leaking a little, even after I adjusted it, so I just put the inlet filter in the water instead of letting it hang outside. Problem solved. 5. You can be in the tub with the pump running. It's built to be submerged and is totally fine. When filling the tub: 1. Set up and connect the heater per instructions. Water hose from house goes into the heater, outlet hose goes in the tub, gas hose goes to the propane tank. Follow instructions on how to tighten each hose! If anything is off the heater won't stay lit. 2. Turn on the gas, turn the heater power switch on, and turn the water hose on. When the water is running through the heater it'll click and light. HOT water will start flowing from the outlet hose into the tub. Adjust the temp to your needs. It takes about 45 minutes to fill my ~300 gallon tub. When reheating a cold tub: 1. Connect the inlet filter to both small hoses referenced above so that it's in the middle. 2. Disconnect the house water hose from the heater and connect the hose/filter assembly. Connect the other side of the hose to the pump. 3. Put the pump and inlet filter in the tub. 4. You should have the pump connected to a short hose, to the inlet filter, to another short hose, to the water hose inlet on the heater. The rest of the connections aren't changed. 5. . Turn on the gas, turn the heater power switch on, and plug in the pump. When the water is running through the heater it'll click and light. HOT water will start flowing from the outlet hose into the tub. I leave the heater temp and water pressure on the highest setting when reheating the water. It takes about 1.5 hours to reheat ~300 gallons of water in the tub. Other stuff: 1. I often sit in the tub alone after work and I've decided it's pretty big for just one person. I'm going to get an oval 2.5 ft wide/2 ft deep/6 ft long for when I'm relaxing alone and keep this one for when friends come over. 2. The water stays fresh for a few days without any chemicals if it's covered. You can add a small amount of chlorine if you wanted to. 3. Please use a cover. Squirrels can jump in but they can't get out. I learned the hard way. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Works for flushing heat exchanger in tankless water heater

For people getting a pump to facilitate a flush of a tankless water heater, this device works great. I ordered it because it was rated at 14 GPM at 10' (although the distance from the floor to the clean-outs is more like 5' in my configuration) but discovered to my horror that I'd misread the instruction for the tankless heater (a Rinnai V75i), which says to "circulate [the vinegar] through the water heater for at least 1 hour at *4* (not *14*) gallons per minute I emailed Rinnai tech support about the flow rate and they said the pumps flow rate was fine. So I used it, and indeed everything went fine. Very satisfied. I purchased this pump in conjunction with a clothes washer hose kit and a bucket (and the vinegar) at my local Walmart. Much cheaper than getting a "kit".

Impressive!

Our pool requires partial draining and refilling a couple times a year due to increasing stabilizer levels, renting a pump is a process so we decided to give this one a go- especially since it actually cost less to purchase then to rent! In 3 hours it drained 18" of water- probably close to 5000 gallons. We used the U.S Pool Supply brand 1 1/2" x 50' hose found here on Amazon, I'm sure it would be a much longer process with a garden hose. We had hoped to purchase the 1/3 hp version but that one wouldn't ship for 1-2 months, so we went with this 1/4 hp model. Very happy with this purchase!

Great pump for draining the pool and watering the grass - after one day, already rusting a little bit in one spot

I needed to drain my pool a little bit to lower the CYA levels, so I bought this pump. I used it for about 8 hours in my 20,000 gallon pool and drained the pool to about 1 foot. I used a garden hose and a thin one at that. I used the water from the pool to water my grass. This item worked great, and I feel it was priced right. I have also used it one more time to water my grass which is getting greener. I love the fact that I can use the water again one more time and not waste it into the street drains. Someone else mentioned that the pump rusts a little bit , and only after getting the pump out the next day, I see the same thing. I just don't understand how it seems like only one part is not the right kind of metal for use in water. I attached a photo that shows the spot where it rusts.

I guess I'll join the thousands of others that loved this pump

I guess I'll join the thousands of others that loved this pump............I use it to drain an in-ground fountain basin that's about 120 gallons (totally disgusting in there because of the birds and everything else that washes down) and nothing stops this pump - and it's fast. And it really does drain down to 1/4-inch depth. I used to do this with a big bucket, when I was energetic and stupid, but now the process is fast enough I'll clean the basin much more often. Mighty handy to have around, gotta tell ya, and it's a very high-quality unit. Very pleased, and it was delivered the next day.

Exactly what I needed.

So far so good. Bought this to empty my hottub every 4 months for cleaning. 440 gallon hottub was emptied in about 30 minutes. Not noisy. Came with garden hose adapter so it was plug and play for me.

One of My Top Purchases for 2018! - The Little Pump that Could

I know you're probably wondering, "How could a submersible water pump capture the heart of a woman who lives above sea level? What's the attraction?" In a nutshell - high performance in an efficient little package. It all began when I rented a dumpster before a severe rainstorm, and about 3 feet of water collected a the bottom (I am on a slight hill). The evil dumpster company said they would CHARGE ME FOR RAINWATER WEIGHT if it absorbed into the trash. My value conscious neighbor said "grab a pan, let's bail".... and 40 min later, in a fit of heatstroke, I said "Enough, surely there must be an easier way!" And then I saw it, beckoning to me from my Amazon search results page "Superior Pump 91250" -- Superior, indeed. I put that little treasure in the dumpster and, in about ten minutes, it cleared away about 2+ feet of dumpster water. I was astounded, amazed. I desperately considered other nearby bodies of water to use my new pump on, like a pond a my local park, but I did not want to upset any ecosystems (which getting sucked through a tube has a way of doing). So, instead I wait and watch for the next torrential downpour to flood something, anything. And when the next big (or little) flood comes, I'll be ready with my trusty Superior Pump in hand. Had Noah had one of these babies, it would have been a whole different ballgame. In the meantime, the Superior pump takes a special place of honor next to my $3 serrated knives that will cut anything.
