Terratek 1100W Stainless Steel Submersible Water Pump, Suitable for Pumping Dirty Water, Great for Swimming Pools, Flooded Cellars, Large Ponds & More Silver

Wow Wow Wow - What an amazing product. I do not usually review products but after using this I felt compelled to share my experience. I have an inspection pit in the garage which floods to a depth of 2 feet every time we have a lot of rain. Last time I borrowed a pump from a neighbour but this time I thought I would invest in my own. The device arrived on time. It was so easy to use. I attached a collapsible hose with a jubilee clip, placed it in the water, switched on - nothing happened - but then when I lifted the float above the level of the pump - Niagara! The pump took less than 25 minutes to empty the pit (to about 2 inches). The neighbours pump took an hour and a half.It is well built - sturdy, robust, well-designed and looks good as well.I can't wait for the next heavy downpour.

This is the second of these pumps which I have purchased.The first is used for pumping out septic tank second (liquid) compartment contents to buried "leaky pipe" disposal system. Cost about a tenth of previous pump and works just as well for the last 18 months and still going strong.The second pump is intended for a static caravan grey water disposal system which I am installing.A small point is that the outlet adapter does not fit standard half-inch hosepipe, so I had to fit a further reducer to the outlet and fix with epoxy adhesive.Overall, great value and highly recommended.

Initial order was lost in transit, but an email to amazon soon resolved this and the pump arrived OK.I have only used it about 6 times and I'm impressed with the performance and the rugged nature of it.It would appear to be designed to operate in the upright position but unless the surface it sits on if flat this is not always likely. However this does not seem to be a problem as the pump happily pumps away on its side, which is how I usually use it (or how it ends up).Placing and retrieving the pump needs looking at as I have to hold on to the connecting hose to lower it and retrieve it. It is tempting to use the float to do this but the instructions advise against this. Therefore I intend to attach a rope to the handle with a cork (or similar) at the other end, like the keys boat owners use, to enable better placement and retrieval. Overall I'm satisfied with both the product and the way the initial "lost in transit" problem was resolved.

Using on a building site to pump out trenches etc. Fantastic bit of kit. Picks up small stones etc without blocking. Auto cut out so it doesn't burn itself out when water level gets low. Float switch works well if unobstructed. The trench im pumping isn't full of water, so I have to override the float switch. I leave it pumping all day and have no issues

Worked really well the first time I used it, nice and powerful. Second time, would not pump at all, and water spewed out of the top of the casing. Extremely dangerous.

Great price for quality pump used to aireate pool to increase pH levels as opposed to chemical quiet and energy efficient

No complaints! Pumped my septic tank perfectly. My tank was full of baby wipes! (Thanks kids) this made an expensive problem into a tolerable one. Truly excellent pump. Emptied my tank in just over an hour! Really a lot faster than expected. For the record, it does not handle baby wipes at all! It's not supposed to either! I'm pretty sure no pump is!!

I got this to empty my pool,and I must say it is excellent.when it arrived,I connected it(luckily I had a hose pipe to connect to it for outflow,I thought it was included but not so)and it worked straight away,pumping at a great rate and had it emptied very quickly.i would recommend this pump for similar jobs.
