MAXZONE Submersible Boat Bilge Water Pump 12v 1100gph Non-Automatic Marine Electric Bilge Pump for Ponds, Pools, Spas Silent, Boat Caravan RV Submersible

Ether it Didn’t work or I am too stupid to use it.

I have a sailboat. Nothing extravagant, but she's mine and I love her. I needed a bilge pump. Found this one. 1100 gallons per hour, two wire installation, draws zero power until it's actually needed. Installed it in under twenty minutes. Works flawlessly. Water comes in, pump handles it, water leaves, boat stays dry. Exactly what it promised. Five stars for the boat. Done. But then I started thinking. My neighbor - let's call him Steve, because that's his name and he has earned this - has a sprinkler system. I use the word "system" generously. It is a broken sprinkler that fires in whatever direction it feels like that particular morning, which is almost always directly at my property. My car. My windows. My life. The water spots on my car alone have aged me visibly. My wife has noticed. She has not said anything but I can tell. And then there was the incident. One warm afternoon I left my window open, the one that faces Steve's yard. Came home an hour later to find the inside of my house soaking wet. My windowsill. My curtains. The book I had been reading. My dignity. All of it. Steve's broken sprinkler had been cheerfully watering my living room for the better part of an hour and nobody stopped it because it doesn't have an off switch that works. I have offered to fix Steve's sprinkler. Multiple times. I have the tools. I have the knowledge. I have offered labor free of charge simply to make this stop. Steve says he'll "get around to it." Steve has been getting around to it for three years. The result of three years of Steve's broken sprinkler is a large, permanent puddle that lives in the corner of my yard. It does not drain. It does not evaporate. It just sits there, growing, becoming its own ecosystem, attracting every mosquito within a three mile radius. I have been donating blood to this puddle involuntarily every summer evening for three years. So. 1100 gallons per hour. What this pump does, beautifully, efficiently, and with absolutely no moral hesitation, is take water from one place and move it somewhere else. And it turns out that "somewhere else" can very precisely be Steve's yard. His car. His porch. His dog, who frankly also needed a bath. His kids, who were outside and probably needed cooling down anyway because it was a warm day. The puddle is gone. The mosquitoes have relocated to Steve's yard, which feels correct. Steve has called a sprinkler repair company. Steve's dog looks great. 5 stars.

Purchased June 2022 and died October 2023. Ran on a timer 5 times a day for half an hour each time. Probably would still be working if I hadn't run the tank dry while on vacation. This is the second 1100GPH pump I bought and for some reason had a higher flow rate than a previous pump purchase.

Great product

Perfect for my home made live well. Lots of water flow.

This is probably too strong for what I need it for. I use it to clean out my duck pond a few times a week to give them fresh water. We use the water for our garden and compost bin. I attached a 48’ hose to it and this thing pumps like 18g per minute. I could have gotten less flow so I don’t drain the water so fast, but this thing works great for its price. I’ve used it a dozen times now. Instead of carrying around a battery I use a battery charger and just put negative to negative and positive to positive and it works perfectly. If you need something affordable but incredibly strong this is the way to go.
