VEATON Dirty Water Pump with Float Switch, 750W, 13,000 L/H Max

Finally got to use this as bought few months ago. Easy to set up and getting working. Wish it had an on off button so easy to manoeuvre and turn off when required but can just use the float to control until can turn off. Very powerful and efficient and can see a few uses for this. Emptied a portable bath no issue!! Will recommend to others.

I used the Veaton portable water pump to drain my Lay‑Z‑Spa, and it worked perfectly. Setup was really simple, and it started pumping water out almost instantly. It drained the whole tub much faster than I expected — a huge time-saver compared to doing it manually or waiting for gravity to do the job! The pump is compact but powerful, and it comes with everything you need (including hose and attachments). It handled the hot tub water with no issues at all. If you’ve got a hot tub and want a quick and easy way to drain it, I highly recommend this pump. It’s well worth the money and does exactly what it says.

Had a bit of an issue with my 1930s house subfloor raised water level, combined with an old (currently inaccessible) junction box hanging at a point that means when the mega rains come, which has been the last 4-5 weeks, our electrics trip. We’ve been using this to keep the water level down (it only gets to ~3.5cm before stopping) until we get some hot weather, the high water level drops, and the electrician can get through our crawl space to fix the issue. For this purpose it’s been good. Sometimes takes a minute to get going, but it gets there with a jiggle. I haven’t used the float switch (I just keep the switch elevated until it starts to gurgle) but it pumps out fast enough. I wish I’d gone for a regular hose over a flat one though, as any hint of a corner/turn causes the flat hose issues.

Needed to empty out dirty water from two 1m X 1m X 1.2m deep holes made for soakaways and about 20m of trenches around 900mm deep. Bought a 20m long 1 inch layflat pipe but it didn't reach the drain so added a bit of hose pipe at the end (3m). It took 4 hours to drain the first pit. 9000l per hour? something didn't add up I replaced the hose pipe with a propped up bit of soil pipe I had let the 1 inch pipe drain into that, pump drained the second pit in around 15 mins :). To use this pump properly you must have a minimum 1 inch pipe all the way. Anything narrower is going to choke it and I suspect cause it to burn out. Fantastic pump for the price. Takes A couple of mins to clear out the air but once it get going it's great.

Excellent pump, very powerful

Works well.

Has worked well as a fully submersed pump for almost a year. Happy to recommend.

I've got this in a pump chamber that fills 20 - 200 times a day. Often enough to be a problem the float switch fails to activate despite being fully under water and upright. In the last two weeks this has happened at least every other day. Also the pump likes falling over - probably because all the bottom of the pump is plastic so it lacks weight at the bottom. When it falls over the float switch usually keeps it running continuously until I notice and stand it up again. In fairness, it's not overheated and died despite running for hours out of water due to falling over.
