Superior Pump 91570 3300GPH Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump with 10-Foot Cord, 1/2 HP

This is a powerful pump, I purchased this to use in my in ground swimming pool. I had a small pump before that attached to a garden hose. It took a lot of time to remove standing water in the bottom of the pool after using the pool pump to empty most of the water out. I had to fix some rough spots and cracks in the concrete. I decided to purchase a stronger pump to get the water out as I was using a hose to wet sand damaged areas in the pool. This pump comes with a 1.5 inch NPT adapter which allows you to hook up a garden hose to remove standing water. Even though the pump is very strong it is still restricted by the diameter of the garden hose. I decided to use my 1.5 inch hose that I use to clean the pool with, I purchased this item from amazon (Replacement for Hayward SPX1091Z7, SPX1091Z4 Adapters fits Pool Filter Pump Hose Adapter Fits 1 1/4"-1 1/2" Thread 1.5" Fitting Connector PVC 2 Pack) it threaded directly into the pump and now the water comes out in buckets! just thread the adapter fitting into the pump and attach the end of your1.5 inch pool cleaning hose onto the adapter. Even with my 5/8 inch hose running full blast into the pool the pump will empty all the water out. Pump works great and is made by a well known company. If I end up having to drain the pool again I will probably just use this pump instead of putting wear and tear on my expensive pool pump.

Quite a performer. I wanted to do a slow drain on the liquids tank in my septic system by pumping it to the distribution box. I installed a 100 ft long 5/8" garden hose to it and lifted the hose up more than 10 ft above the liquid surface. It still pumped more water than I wanted, which speaks well for the pump, but not so much for my efforts at flow control. LOL. Simple to clean when done by pumping 15 gallons of clean water through the pump and hose. Great value and now I have a good flow pump should I ever have a need to clean up a flooded area.For better flow control, I'll use a C-clamp and some boards to pinch the hose until the flow rate is closer to my needs.

Multiple uses! I originally bought this in 2020 to help me drain my above ground pool but found that it has so many other uses. I also use it to drain excess water off my softball field - the last time I used it was after multiple days of rain, I dug a small hole in the middle of the water, drop the pump in, hook up a hose, and sit and wait! I have definitely got my money worth out of this little guy!

Works great. I plug this in, it works, I unplug it. Simple. I have to monitor it, but I have to monitor the ones with a bulb and switch anyway and this one is 1/3 the price of the regular sump pump. 2 problems: I wanted to use a regular sump pump hose and needed to go get a coupler because none of the attachments fit. Also it's really light and tips over but I have to be right there while it works anyway so I just set it back up and it's fine.

This has lasted so far for 10 years and is still going strong. We keep it on had to pump the pool if we get too much rain. We also use it throughout the summer as a pool heater. We leave it on the Baja shelf to pump the warmer surface water to the bottom of the deep end. Warms our large pool up in 1 day.

I finally had to use this. My garage floods when we get lots of rain because water from my neighbor's yards come to mine. (I tried to raise my garage, but the city wouldn't let me.)I put the pump in the middle of my garage and attached my garden hose and let it run for 12 1/2 hours straight. It had a lot of water to move and worked like a champ! I did check it every hour to make sure no debris was obstructing the intake. This was absolutely what I was looking for to solve this particular problem. Although I hope I don't have to use it often. I'm glad to know that it works well.

FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, MONEY-SAVING DEVICE!!! I had a pool service bank on the fact that my husband and I were super busy, and scam the heck out of us! By the time we realized that they weren't doing anything for their money, our 15,000+ gallon pool looked like a terarium (you know, with the green plants growing from the bottom)!!! Even though we just had the pool drained and acid washed this past January, you couldn't tell by the green sludge on every surface. My husband went to the local AZ pool store, and they sold him $200 worth of chemicals. But, I happened to be talking to an excellent car repairman (which used to be a pool repairman) that said "DON'T DO IT! YOU WILL JUST PUT ALL OF THAT ALGAE THROUGH YOUR DE FILTER!!!" So, I decided to look for a pump and get some skin in the game. I found this great little pump on Amazon and was very excited. See, it cost me $500 to have my pool emptied and acid washed 10 months ago. And, the local Home D rents a pump to do this job for the same price!I watched the videos of this GREAT LITTLE PUMP and used the idea to cover it with a filter sock. That seemed like a great idea because I was worried that my SUPREME ALGAE would clog the pump. I also put it into the pool net (as shown in the video) because I was going to empty a very large pool. And, while it is only a playpool in AZ (meaning it is an in-ground pebble-tek pool that is just 6' deep at the deep end), I am too old to dive in to get the pump out of the cold water (yes, pool water gets cold in AZ, too)! So, the net allowed me to pull the pump up using the metal pole. Here are some tips that helped:1) A regular garden hose will screw right on! I started to buy a one-way valve, but after reading, realized I just didn't need it. I just needed a hose that was long enough to reach from the bottom of the pool to my sewer return.2) Just like the manufacturer says, the pump needs water in order to keep it cool. So, if your pool runs dry, it will overheat. But, we caught it pretty quickly all three times it occurred (I have an in-ground spa that waterfalls into the pool that needed to be drained separately). We just let it rest, turned it back on and it started right away!3) The pump really does drain down to an 1/8 inch. But, it is bottom heavy. Once the water level got very low, I had to find a way to allow it to be flat. In an in-ground pool, the sides gently slope to the bottom without getting out my magic carpet!4) There is absolutely no sound when the pump is under water. We could tell it was sucking by the hose pressure.5) The pump itself is tiny and light (see the details). I was super surprised how easy this was to use!6) It took approximately 4 days and nights to drain all 15,000+ gallons of our pool. I got skittish as we were close to done, and would stop and start to avoid overheating.7) The water pressure is good, but probably not enough to run a sprinker (as the guy in the video says). Now, keep in mind, I was pumping about 70 feet from the bottom of my pool to my sewer return in the front of our house. His is A LOT closer.In the end, I completely emptied my pool, picked up the disgusting algae wet (we actually used a broom and dust pan to pick it up while wet---just imagine the smell of a lagoon coming from your own backyard). Then, once the pool was empty, used the same broom to brush the Pebble surface to knock off the algae.I want to use CLR to get some of the calcium off of the surface where the tile is, but am only a WEEKEND MAMA WARRIOR, so it is a slow process. But, it would likely have cost me 10X the cost of this FANTASTIC LITTLE PUMP if I hadn't found this great tool! BTW- I took off the one filter sock, threw it away, put the little pump back in the box, and put it on a top shelf in the garage for whenever I need it again. Just in case you are wonder, I am waiting to use the chemicals (which are now in the garage) to balance the pool once I fill it again. :)
