Utility Pump, Prostormer 1/10HP 120V Mini Portable Electric Water Transfer Pump 330GPH Plumbing Equipment with Water Hose Kit Great for Yard, Garden, Pool Draining

I purchased this pump for draining a decorative fountain for maintenance purposes. Previously I was using a drill pump which was just not designed for this kind of service. The utility pump comes with a plastic piece intended to drain the fluid level as low as possible, which works pretty well. I can get down to maybe 1 cm of water in the fountain. The volume per hour isn't something I have tested, but the pump doesn't overheat when pumping continuously for 30 minutes. It would be helpful if they added an on/off switch to the body of the pump, rather than using the plug.

This thing pumps! Love that it is 110v, no more messing around with 12v or batteries to power it. Perfect for small jobs. I use it to winterize our trailer. It has garden hose fittings which makes it perfect for many things. It's a little loud but doesn't take long to accomplish the job. Great pump!

This pump was actually kind of amazing. I bought this little pump as a throw away to use to pump thick used oil out of screw machine reservoirs. This thing pumped thick oil and steel shavings, that was not expected. I’m not saying it was working the same after weeks of pumping out these machines, but it did just keep going til the job was done. Maybe it’s because I didn’t expect much, but I was impressed. I imagine it’ll work great for what it was intended to do given it did such a good job working outside the scope of its design.

Overall while this worked it worked great. I used it to transfer 100gals of water from my pool to my cold plunge tank about every 3 weeks. It was a little slower than I cared for but I couldn’t find much that was more powerful with self priming. It worked like a charm until my last use when it seemed to slow down but still worked. Today the little plastic impeller came completely apart into pieces. So much for that. I’d say for small projects maybe. The only problem with this unit is this cheap plastic impeller. Should’ve been metal and it would’ve lasted years.

I use this pump for aquarium water changes. It is perfect. I added quick connect fittings to use different attachments on the intake hose. I also added a peddle power controller both of which I found on Amazon.
