FOTING Sump Pump 1HP Clean/Dirty Submersible Water Pump,4600GPH Utility Pump Thermoplastic Electric Portable Transfer Water Pump for Swimming Pool Pond Basement with 10ft Power Cord,Manual

I've been using the FOTING Sump Pump 1HP Clean/Dirty Submersible Water Pump (4600GPH Utility Pump) for several planting seasons now, and it's performed flawlessly as my go-to solution for transferring water from a cistern to irrigate my garden. The pump works exactly as expected—no priming issues, strong consistent flow, and it handles the volume I need without straining or overheating. I hook it up to a garden hose, drop it in the cistern, and it moves water efficiently to my drip system and beds. At 4600 GPH, it fills my setup quickly without any drop-off in performance over time. What stands out is how durable this thing is. I've left it in place through multiple seasons (including not bothering to move or winterize it during the colder months), and it still runs like new—no leaks, no motor fatigue, no clogs from typical cistern debris. It's clearly built to last with solid construction that holds up to regular outdoor use. This is an excellent product for anyone needing a reliable, heavy-duty submersible pump for water transfer, drainage, or similar tasks. Highly recommend—I'll definitely buy another if I ever need a backup or replacement. 5 stars!

Quality I’ve used this pump to move water out of a flooded basement area and later to drain a small pond, and the overall quality feels solid. The housing doesn’t feel cheap, and it handled dirty water with small debris without any issues. It feels like something built for actual utility use, not just occasional light jobs. Ease of Use Setup was simple. I plugged it in, attached the hose, and it was ready to go. The manual operation is straightforward, and the power cord length was enough for my setup without needing an extension right away. Performance The pumping speed is strong and noticeably fast. It moved a large amount of water in a short time, which saved me a lot of effort compared to smaller pumps I’ve tried before. It stayed stable while running and didn’t overheat during longer use. Value For the power you’re getting, this feels like good value for money. It performs on par with more expensive utility pumps and handled both clean and dirty water without a problem. Overall, it’s a reliable, powerful pump that works well for draining, transferring water, and handling tougher jobs when needed.

This Sump Pump is just what I needed to drain my Ice Plunge. It is super easy to use, doesn't make a lot of noise, and the flow is perfect. I drains the plunge quickly!

The only negative is the 10 ft cord, even 15 or 20 would have been much better. Positives? Well I cant believe it but I not only think this thing can do 4800 gallons per hour I actually think it does more! Its amazing. It can drain my pool faster than the huge rentals I usually use. First I tried it with one of those small metal hoses that have a smaller diameter than a normal garden hose. Unit worked and was quiet despite sitting mostly out of the water and pushing water through a straw basically, it took 6 hours to lower the pool an inch. Then I took a 1 1/2 inch blue pool draining hose and just zip tied it to this unit. I could not believe it, I have to actually sit with this thing its so powerful. You can almost watch the pool level dropping in the pool! 5-10 minutes it did what the little hose took 4-6 hours to do. Only issue was the water could not seep into the ground fast enough, if not running to sewer you really have to baby sit this beast. This thing is sleek looking, not that it matters but also feels like its built solid. It comes with a decent range of adapters. Its really meant to have a 1 1/2 hose strapped to it in order to really take advantage of this beast. For reference my backwash drain is out of action so I got this to drain my pool from the top to lower CYA levels. Only star I knock off is for the 10 ft cord. Some pools are 8 feet deep. You just have to be careful and keep that junction with the extension cord out of the water. I cant say anything about reliability yet but if you are wondering if it can really move that much water, what it claims to? Yes it does. Just pick up a 1 1/2 inch hose, make sure its long enough as this thing really moves water. Noise level? What noise level, you can barely hear it out of the water.

Used once so far. Pumped the water level down below the skimmer 3+" on my 15,000 gallon pool. Did a great job. Primes fast. Ran for approximately 30 minutes was cool when I removed it. Water was 45-50 degrees at the time. I like all the fittings that come with it. Added an 1 1/4" hose to it. Only suggestion I have for improvement is a 12' cord.

Works well as a transfer pump to move water. light weight the plastic housing cleans up easily. The way I use it (empting pools) only requires 10' or less of lift. The flow is the same as level transfers. Intake doesn't have problems with leaves, or algae. I use handle the pump gently so I can comment on the how much abuse the case can take.

Purchased this little pump and are we glad we did! Above ground pool is covered but water tends to stand fairly deep due to rain and we wanted to keep it removed. This pump absolutely has done the job! Could not ask for a better solution. So glad we found this little jewel.

Only run this thing submerged, and only run it while watching it. It will empty out a bathtub in seconds. If you let air get in it the wrong way it can mess it up.

Très bonne pompe. On ne regrette aucunement notre achat.

Working well. Easy to set up. Put out a good volumn of water. Gave it 4 stars as it is too soon for a final evaluation.

I just had a flood in the basement. So I ordered this Water Pump the next day to drain the basement. And my god, it's so much faster and better. Extremely convenient. It beats any manual labor I had to do the day prior. It doesn't come with a hose and I recommend those who do to get the 100ft hose expandable hose (it's too short unexpanded) in order to extend from basement to outside. There is no on/off on this model. As soon as you plug into the outlet it starts draining. Pretty straight forward.

The item does not have a power even close to what it claims. It was received with a Crack in the body but i tried to cover the crack to test the power to decide to return or ask for replacement. It is weaker than a tenth of what it claims but might be okay for very small jobs.

Good quality sump pump
