Superior Pump91330 2400GPH Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump with 10-Foot Cord, 1/3 HP

This is a powerful pump, I purchased this to use in my in ground swimming pool. I had a small pump before that attached to a garden hose. It took a lot of time to remove standing water in the bottom of the pool after using the pool pump to empty most of the water out. I had to fix some rough spots and cracks in the concrete. I decided to purchase a stronger pump to get the water out as I was using a hose to wet sand damaged areas in the pool. This pump comes with a 1.5 inch NPT adapter which allows you to hook up a garden hose to remove standing water. Even though the pump is very strong it is still restricted by the diameter of the garden hose. I decided to use my 1.5 inch hose that I use to clean the pool with, I purchased this item from amazon (Replacement for Hayward SPX1091Z7, SPX1091Z4 Adapters fits Pool Filter Pump Hose Adapter Fits 1 1/4"-1 1/2" Thread 1.5" Fitting Connector PVC 2 Pack) it threaded directly into the pump and now the water comes out in buckets! just thread the adapter fitting into the pump and attach the end of your1.5 inch pool cleaning hose onto the adapter. Even with my 5/8 inch hose running full blast into the pool the pump will empty all the water out. Pump works great and is made by a well known company. If I end up having to drain the pool again I will probably just use this pump instead of putting wear and tear on my expensive pool pump.

Hard to write about a product that has few features(good for me), works, and does so without fuss. However..The backstory:I am deluged each year by Noachian floods. I need basement pumps. The annual spring flood is a rite here by the Merrimack river. I have only had this pump 1.5 mos. In that time it has seen continuous duty for more than half of that time. This year we had many inches of rain(so far) coupled to the winter snow melt. Flooding has been widespread and well above an average year.The usage:When I get a new pump I always dispense with the garden hose fitting and replace it with a 1.25" hose barb fitting. I do this in anticipation of the spring flood. This allows the pumps to remove vastly larger amounts of water at the cost of needing much more tending as they can run my sump well dry. The primary reason for this review is so that homeowners that use these pumps in a like manner get a long service life from them.The pump may or may not have thermal protection, but the savvy user will never run into thermal overload because the savvy user will not allow the pump to draw in only air for any appreciable length of time. If one has a recessed sump pit/well, then I would strongly advise something like the Superior 92250 which has a tethered level switch. See: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IJR5F6/ref=psdc_680335011_t1_B000X05G1AThere are also switched options for homeowners without a sump pit. The only reason I am using this pump in my sump pit is that I have so much water entry that my much larger and more expensive 1/3 hp true sump pump with level switch is ofttimes overwhelmed and it switches maniacally due to the fact that it empties the sump well far faster than water can drain into it.Enough with the cautionary tales.The pump has been working with zero issues for ~540 hours. That is a lot of use in a short span. It has kept my basement floor free of standing water. That's more than I should ask of a small, inexpensive pump. I am very pleased, and I am not easily pleased with these devices. I think that anyone that really assesses their needs and buys this pump knowing the pump's potential limitation of no thermal protection will be very well pleased.Shorter review: It's a fine pump that works even when asked to do real workhorse duty at an inexpensive price.. An easy recommendation.

I purchased the 1/4 Hp Superior Pump Model 91250 to partially drain my 22,000 gallon swimming pool to reduce the concentration of cyanuric acid. I also purchased the 25' 1.5" drain hose accessory for this pump, and coupled it to 125' of 2" blue drain hose. I drained about a third of the pool, or 7,000 gallons, in 6 hours. (Refill time was double that!) The pump was submerged about 3' and the drain hose was on level ground. I repeated this procedure to achieve the needed dilution and the second drain/refill went smoothly with similar time periods. The pump seems well designed and thoughtfully constructed, and the fittings and hose accessories are definitely worth purchasing. The pump was a joy to use and performed flawlessly.If you need to couple the 1.5' drain hose to a 2' drain hose (my recommended size), here is how I did it. I took a short piece of scrap 1" pvc Schedule 40 pipe and put a 1" to 1" dia. unthreaded pvc coupling on one end and a 1" to 1.5" dia. unthreaded pvc bushing on the other end. The OD of the1" coupling was a snug fit for the 1.5" hose (I used liquid soap) and the OD of the 1.5" bushing was an easy fit for the 2" hose. I was able to "dry fit" the three pieces tightly together and secure the hoses to them with band clamps. I did not need to glue the fittings together, as the hose pressure was quite low.Two final tips. First, to couple two pieces of 2" hose together, a piece of 1.5" pipe and band clamps can be used. Second, the 1.5" hose was quite robust but the low-priced 2" hose wasn't. It got a few small punctures from shrubbery. If that matters to you, know that it is delicate and be careful routing it. The punctures weren't a problem: they were small, the project was outdoors, and, hopefully, infrequent.

Works great. I plug this in, it works, I unplug it. Simple. I have to monitor it, but I have to monitor the ones with a bulb and switch anyway and this one is 1/3 the price of the regular sump pump. 2 problems: I wanted to use a regular sump pump hose and needed to go get a coupler because none of the attachments fit. Also it's really light and tips over but I have to be right there while it works anyway so I just set it back up and it's fine.
