Superior Pump 91292 Stainless 1/4 HP Steel Utility Pump

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.

I bought this little pump 6 years ago on Amazon and have used it multiple times (50x or more) to drain down a large inground gunite pool after heavy rains, etc. I have never had a single issue, the pump has ran flawlessly every single time. People should note, it is a 1/4HP smaller pump which means it will take time, but it does the job as advertised.
