5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent transfer pump, May 8, 2008

I bought this to re-fill my pond from a nearby creek. Initially, I would only use it for a few hours at a time for fear of overheating. However, I've had it on continuously for over a month now and it is still going (I'm using it as a sort of supplementary inflow for the pond). It has never clogged and puts out a steady stream of water through a garden hose about 100 feet long (with a little less force than you would get from your house). It's really quite amazing and certainly worth the price.

Update (7/30/10):
It's been over 2 years now and the thing still works great. I have it run continuously for several months each summer to transfer water from my creek to my pond. I couldn't give a higher recommendation.

It worked right out of the box. I used the included garden hose connector and hooked up a 50 ft, 5/8ths inch hose. The rise from the bottom of the pump was about 4 feet. The flow I got was about 5 gallons a minute, a bit slower than I expected, but it worked okay for what I needed. I may get a larger and shorter hose and I think it will improve a lot. My use was to drain the last six inches of waster out of a landscape pond and I liked the pumping to the last 1/8 inch of water. It did clog with debris once for me and I took off the bottom cover. It was easy to do.

this is the most effective pump that we have used for working on our pool and emptying our sump hole. it gets the water out in a hurry. the use of a 5/8's hose slows removal, but with the attachment that allows the use of a larger hose.... zip.... done.
