FOTING 1/2HP Submersible Water Pump with Stainless Steel Base - Removes Water to 0.04" Depth, 2450GPH Portable Sump Pump for Puddles, Pools, Boats, Gardens & Ponds - 10Ft Cord Included

Works like a champ, drains water from the pool when it gets too high from the rains. Quiet and easy to use.

We get flooded occasionally and after hurricane Milton the basement area flooded a lot, the water continued to seep up into the area for 2+ weeks. My existing pumps (1/4 ,1/3, and 1/2 hp ) were not getting the water out quickly or low enough. All the local stores were sold out of pumps so I decided to get an additional pump from Amazon. The Foting 2450 1/2 hp. was about 1/2 the price of most sump pumps and came the next day with Amazon Prime. I was surprised that it came with 3 adapters for garden hose and 1-1/2 hose. Bonus!, It's not mentioned in the add but it comes with a flapper style check valve that goes inside of the adapters. It pumps like mad through a garden hose so I don't know what's up with the bad review about it not pumping (probably had the check valve installed backwards). I also purchased the Superior Pump 99621 1-1/2 inch Lay-Flat Discharge Hose Kit through Amazon and coupled it to the pump. Now it really flows through that larger hose. Another bonus feature I noticed is that this pump primes itself by releasing some water at the midsection of the pump when it first starts. This is a big time saver compared to a normal sump pump in very shallow water. The claim about it pumping water down to .04 of an inch is true and you'll find your self struggling to lift the pump off the floor when it's on because the suction is strong. The pump is not automatic and it would be impossible to find an automatic that pumps water down so low. What I did on this flood is use WIFI switches to power the pumps and monitored the water level with a WYZE pan cam V3 camera from Amazon. So I used my phone to monitor the flood level with the camera app and used Alexa to turn on/off the pumps. Eventually I figured out the water level rise rate as well as the pump out rate. With this information I programed the WIFI switches when to come on and off. This made life so much easier for the 2 weeks+ of being flooded. I like this pump so much I purchased a second one!

So we have ducks, and as anyone knows they foul (🤣) their water in a very short time. Six ducks share a 300 gallon 'pond' and we empty it every two weeks then Hubby shopvacs out all the muck on the bottom. It's just unpleasant. (We offer clean drinking water. This is not their only water source.) I've been talking about getting a sump pump for a long time but Hubby always talked me out of it. Mainly because what he thought the cost would be for a pump that could handle it. I agreed. I finally took a chance. I looked first for a brand that had decent overall ratings. Then I started comparing models, and honestly prices. Who wants to spend a lot of money on something that you aren't sure will work? Any way, I chose this little 1/2 hp unit. When it was delivered my husband just shook his head and said, "it's your money", obviously not impressed. I had my doubt too and it sat for a couple of weeks. We're in the middle of a very hot and dry Midwest summer and the pond needs attention, quite frankly it started to stink. Out came the pump. I hooked a garden hose up to the pump and ran it upto an old oak tree that's struggling. And turned the pump on. I went out every 10 minutes or so to make sure it was running, hadn't clogged and ultimately was still working. Occasionally I'd scoop out a feather or large leaf as I'm sure those things would have caused an issue. It took about an hour to empty the pond and I then filled it back up to about a 6" depth, swirled the water a bit and turned it back on. And you can see in. The pictures show how well it worked. I'm sorry I didn't take a before shot, but it was gross. I'm impressed, and oddly enough so is Hubby. Next up... Using this pump to create a something of a filtering system. It's not as fast or as powerful as some others but this little guy packs a huge punch! 10 out of 10!

So it’s not the best and it seems to get clogged a lot. But for the price, amazing. would buy again.

This thing works. I use it for pumping water from my patio during heavy rain. It pumps the water out quick. Used it three times so far and very happy with it. Wish it had an auto off. But still great

Worked great, I have a boat compartment that floods with rain water. Does the hob well.

It's a good water pump, it does the job, however I'm unable to lift the device from the water because the handle came broken.

Nice pump BUT if you're looking for something to suction swallow large expanse water off the floor (say 1/2" deep) the manual says "The pump must be standing in 5.5" of water before starting it. (Shaft seal water lubricated and could be damaged if pump runs dry.) (Once started...) It will not pick up water less than 3/16".

I use this pump to empty my spa. It really does the job and sucks all the water out of it even the last drops on the floor. It has strong suction and gets rid of a good amount of water fast. It’s a game changer from when I used my ShopVac which worked well but was very long and carrying the ShopVac full of water was a chore. The only thing is that the pump is almost all plastic so I cannot say if it’s going to last a long time.

La bomba tiene buen rendimiento y es fácil de manipular

Used it to empty my pool after winter. Very quiet. Great how it came with different connections. Was able to use it with my garden hose. Took only one day, where by gravity it took several days. Sucked the water to the lowest level. Worked great.

Excelente bomba funciona bien para eliminar los últimos trozos de agua

Nice simple sump pump. Used it to drain my hot tub and it performed well. Runs quiet as well. Handle broke on first use, but still perfectly usable without.
