I purchased this pump for a makeshift greywater system to pump water out of my plugged bathtub/shower, out of the window and into an elevated tank outside. This pump operates as quietly and unobtrusively as one could want and combined with a HydroCheck water level switch, everything is automatic. The grating at the bottom of the unit is easily removable and I'd recommend fitting some screen window material there for a slightly finer filter that doesn't obstruct the water flow too much. Soapy water is not a problem. I'm pumping the water through about 30' of hose and pvc pipe, with a total of about 12' of elevation. I use about 15' of 5/8 I.D. garden hose and 15' of 1" pvc pipe. This pump works quite well for my application, since the water level only rises as fast as my shower fills the tub. If it pumped any faster, there would probably be too much cycling and running dry. I originally considered a 1/2 HP pump but I'm glad I went with this one.

At first I was a little concerned because this is a little pump. Much smaller looking in person than I was anticipating. I used the garden hose adapter to drain about half of my pool. It drained about 9,000 gl in 42 hours using the hose adapter. I guess you only get 1200 GPH by using a larger diamater hose. But it worked like a champ over the weekend and did the job. For $86 much better investment and easier than renting one of these each year or so to drain the pool. I would reccommend it. It seems sturdy, heavy and mostly metal parts.
