Superior Pump 91330 2400GPH Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump with 10-Foot Cord, 1/3 HP

This pump worked excellently to remove the last 12" of water from my pool. It didn't take long either. All you do is attach a 3/4" water hose to the top of this pump.....another type of hose can be used as well. That info is located in the product description. The water hose removes the water quicker because the diameter is larger than the other hose. You just screw hose on top of pump, plug it in and place in pool. There is no on/off. As soon as it hits the water it starts pumping. Just lower it into pool. You don't need to get into the pool. It does not need to be in center of pool. It doesn't need to sit on a base. Just place along the side in an upright position. It does an excellent and efficient job of removing that water. When a 1/4" of water is left it's necessary to unplug it or the motor can get damaged from overheating . It will also stop pumping water at that point. I bought a above ground pool and didn't know they won't drain completely. You either have to get a big bucket or a pump. I thought I was going to have to get the bucket. I was so disgusted. A fellow reviewer told me to get a sump pump. I hope my review helps someome. I thought all I needed was to keep the water clean, but you need a sump pump, vacuum, chlorine tablets, shock, water hose. water tester filters for water pump, and a cover....and maybe a heater. You need a electrical outlet that trips when it comes in contact with water I hope this info saves someone from some frustration.

I had read some of the previous reviews where folks made a mention of the plastic body. It is plastic but it feels very high tech, like this could launch with a Space-X mission! It looks and feels bulletproof. We were expecting big rains in So Calif., and my patio floods in big downpours. When that happens I have to put on my raingear, get my water broom, and start pushing gallons and gallons of water off the patio and into a nearby drain. That is a lot of work. Pump arrives. Grandson and I decide to "test it" in the kitchen sink to see how much water this thing will push. I hold a plastic bowl over the outlet so the water will go back into the sink. 3-2-1 BLASTOFF! Holy cow! That pump blows the bowl out of my hand, shoots water all over the kitchen, and luckily my grandson was still manning the plug a distance away (he didn't get wet) and pulled the plug out of the outlet! WoooWeeee! Yeah I think it's gonna work! 2 days later the rains came and my patio starts flooding on schedule. I placed the pump in the deepest part of the buildup (about 3-4"), kick the pump on, and within 5-7 minutes the patio was nearly dry. It was easy for me to broom off what little remained. I was a little bummed that it worked so fast...! So I'm just sitting here in Southern California, waiting for the next significant rain to fall so that I can put "Butch" to work. I'll prolly be sitting here a long time.....But this is a great pump for not a lot of money.

Bought mine in 2017 for circulating descaling fluid (my water is extrememly hard) through my natural gas on-demand hot water heater every three months. Since 2021 used it to empty the hot tub 4 times a year (300 gallons) and a swimming pool (7,000 gallons) once a year. It finally died today (trips the GFCI, which means the seals around the motor are leaking) but considering I got 9 years of pretty regular use, I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I bought the 1/3 HP sump pump to drain my 23,000 gallon in-ground pool---with the garden hose adapter, it was plug and play. It had an 11ft rise, and a horizontal run of about 40ft to tackle, and was plugged in around noon. It looked like the pump may have been able to drain the pool completely by 3am -if it hadn't gotten bogged down with obstructions. The product says it can handle solids up to 1/8"... mine couldn't. It couldn't handle fine particles of sand, or tiny bits of decayed leaf matter, or anything other than microparticles of algea-infused water. The pump had to be constantly unplugged and cleaned and repositioned because it could not handle sand infused water, or disintegrated leaves-- just water. A job that I optimistically thought would be complete at 3am took until 1pm--in addition to scooping and mucking by hand and constant re-adjustments. I understand that the product is not meant to suck up large debris, and I'm not counting the times that the sump pump got blocked by material larger than it was meant to handle. If you're looking for a sump pump that can handle massive amounts of particulates in addition to water (ie: flood water, emptying an uncovered in-ground pool after winter, septic tank issues).... this model probably isn't it. If you're looking for a way to move massive quantities of water (JUST water), it does the job at a reasonable pace and is probably cheaper than renting amore powerful model from the local hardware store. It did the job I purchased it for, and while not neccessarily as easily or as well as I would have liked--I am glad I purchased it, because at least my pool was drained relatively quickly.

I have tried several other utility pumps but this is the best pump that I have found and at a very good price. I have had a problem for years in which I have had water from the street flow into the driveway and flood our garage. I have tried a few diffeent types of pumps but have never had good experiences because they are inconsistent - they don't pump when you need them to. This pump has worked well for several months. I cut a hole into my driveway where the water flows and installed a plastic container into the hole. The pump was installed in the hole with a separate sensing switch. As soon as the water reaches a height of about two inches, the switch powers the pump and the pump removes the water in a few seconds. I covered the hole with mesh to keep major debris from forming and pour a gallon or two of water into the hole every few weeks to check the system. The pump has been very consistent. Water is pushed through a hose to a drainage area. This is a good pump operating at a fairly high speed. Like most pumps, a separate float valve is needed unless you are going to stand at an outlet and unplug the pump when the water is drained. I enjoy this pump and can sleep at night during rainstorms, knowing that the pump is protecting my garage.

I am probably using this pump in a way the manufacturer didn't intend. I created a custom bottle washer and carboy/keg cleaner for my home brewing setup. I have some pretty intense plumbing attached to the pump, all with removable fittings so I can get the multipurpose applications from it without too much hassle. It's essentially the concept of a fountain and it handles the back pressure with ease, allowing me to get a healthy stream of water up in the air. I found that taking advantage of the large output is best, if you can swing it with your plumbing and you need the highest flow it's rated for. It handles back pressure just fine, so if you step it down to a smaller diameter hose, the only performance hit is in your pumping volume. When allowed to go full throttle (1"-1-1/4" output), though, you can get some pretty incredible flows from this pump...I can see why people are using it to drain swimming pools. I was able to get about a 10 foot rise from (24) 1/16" outlets simultaneously, so that kind of gives you an idea of the power you can get from the 1/3HP pump. What I like most about this pump is that it handles warm liquids without incident...I'm pushing 120-130 degree water through it with no problems. (It's not rated for high temps, like boiling water.) It also doesn't seem phased with the addition of cleaning substances, particularly PBW (powdered brewery wash) which is an oxygen based cleaner not unlike Oxyclean. I've received many, many hours of use in this application and the pump hasn't even so much as slowed down. It's been easy to clean/maintain and has worked reliably for me. This unit has saved me hours of time in bottle and carboy cleaning, so it gets a full 5 stars from me.

I needed to drain my inground pool prior to demolishing the bottom with a jackhammer (long and off topic story). Using the pool pump I was able to get most of the water, but probably still had a few thousand gallons left and this pump handled it beautifully. I got the recommended Flex hose (worth it!) Flotec FP0012-6U-P2 Universal Discharge Hose Kit, 24-Feet by 1-1/4-Inch or 1-1/2-Inch and used this adaptor to connect the two Banjo CPLG125 Polypropylene Pipe Fitting, Coupling, Schedule 80, 1-1/4" NPT Female , then tied a rope to the pump and lowered it in. This thing shot water like a firehose with at least 12 feet of lift. I probably should have used this instead of the pools drain pump and I would have been done in half the time. This pump loves clear water, when you start getting into slightly mucky water, silt, etc your flow rate will drop significantly and you'll need to clean the bottom screen every now and then. I also had a problem with it sucking in tadpoles which were not fun to clean out of the mesh. After each hard rain I'd use this pump again before going to work with the jack hammer, and it will lift 12+ feet even down to about the last 1/2inch of water. Very recommended, and worth every penny for this project.

What a little quiet power house! I needed something simple, as I have trouble with my hands, something I could handle to pull the water weight off my pool cover without damaging the cover. Works like a charm! I can't believe how quiet it is! It's completely submersible, sits upright, and does not suck up my pool cover, not in the least. It is also great for emptying pool water in preparation for pool closure. I just tossed it in the pool and it sat on the bottom nicely and ran flawlessly for about 5 hours until the water level was where I needed it. I've had it now for awhile, used it multiple times and have had no issues. Easy to hook up to the standard garden hose, and you just plug it in to turn it on, unplug it to turn it off. Great product at a affordable price!

Excelente funcionamiento y silenciosa

This is the third pump I have purchased. The idea was to purchase a pump to water 3 large plants. The little aquarium pumps show that they can be chained with 1/4 inch tubing to water….they all differ but they boast powerful features and show at least 3 large plants and a bunch of small ones? have had to go move the hose repeatedly, to get these small pumps to work, they do not create enough pressure to move the water. I watched the video of this pump. They have the 1 hp model in a large container of water. It emptied that huge container in no time. It’s a great video, I believe it’s on here still. Anyhow, I bought the 1/3 hp model, with the check valve. It blew a misting head off that was not on tight enough! Awesome power. These pumps are not toys, they are the real thing. Awesome piece of equipment, I should have started with this pump. Tons of pressure, it can easily water 3 plants. I am totally impressed. Thank you.

Llegó en tiempo buen empaque , la uso para trasladar agua de una distancia aproximada de 5 mts de longitud , con una manguera para Jardín y tiene suficiente presión , el tiempo que la uso es de tres horas ,actualización del producto a 2 años y medio de haber comprado la bomba fallo , el domingo estaba funcionando bien en un uso de media hora se desconecto y posteriormente la volví a conectar y ya solo sumba . la lleve a revision y me dicen que el capacitor tuvo un fallo y que paso a dañar la bobina con un corto por dentro , esto me dicen que ya no hay solución.

This pump is permanently in a lake since 4 years to bring water in the cottage during all seasons. It's definitely a very good pump. I would buy again.

Bought it for Father's Day. Pumps well and works well. Haven't had any issue. It's good for hot tubs.
