Superior Pump 91570 1/2 HP Thermoplastic Utility Pump, Black

Sorry, but I am not into sump pump teminology, so I picked this particular one for 2 reasons: horsepower and cost. I was replacing an old unit that just stopped working, and I did not plan to take the time to tear it apart to find out what was wrong. I needed a unit fast, for a 5' deep by 18' long pond in my garden that I want to drain, preferably before the rainy season gets too far along. From the moment I plugged it in, this unit was sucking the water out at a fast rate, much more so than the older unit had done. I never left the unit on when I was not there, so it took over two days to get down to within 9" of the bottom, but it was on for approx. 6 1/2 hours a day. It is very quiet, and easy to move around, since it is not a heavy or huge unit at all. I am definitely glad i got it. If you need to get water out faster than 40 gallons a minute, then buy a bigger HP pump, but for my needs I think this one is going to work fine on the 2 backyard ponds that I inherited when I moved to our new home. For the price, this is a great pump.

had a flotec pump for 14 years to pump out swimming pool, it finally quit. bought this one for 64 dollars and change.it actually out does the flotec. as of now a good pump.and yes i would buy another one if need be.
