Superior Pump 91012 12 Volt Utility Pump with 20-Foot Cord, Black

Hooked to a float switch and a 100Ah 12v battery, this makes a good backup pump for extended power outages. It's fairly quiet and can lift water several feet. The enclosed adapter for a garden hose is a plus. You'll have to buy adapters to hook it to check valves and 1.5" PVC for use as a sump pump, but they are standard 1.5" adapters and inexpensive. Like most such pumps, it shouldn't be run dry and doesn't draw water if the base is not submerged. The wiring it comes with is heavily insulated and has a switch and battery clamps, but I had to cut the wiring to add an inline fuse, which is an essential addition, and they should have added the fuse and fuse holder in my opinion.

The pump is used to move water out of a 350 gallon tote to water oak trees and native plants at various locations. The pump is placed inside the tote and pumps about 5 to 6 gallons a minute against the 4 feet of head. We have only used it a four times to date to pump about 2500 gallons of water. I expect it will perform well under these conditions for some time. The long power cable does allow one to use the vehicle battery when the tote is placed in back of a pickup. The switch appears to be of good quality.

Worked great the 4-5 times I used it. Next time went to use it was dead. I contacted the manufacturer for warranty support. I received an immediate response, and they are sending a replacement. This is amazing customer support in these times. Thank you!

I use mine to suck out standing water when pressure washing concrete. When the little holes on the bottom aren't plugged this thing really moves some water! Be prepared to clear the grate often though, debris shuts off flow easily as the feet are only about 1/2" tall.

Great 12 V pump I'm only pumping up 6 ft and only have a 20 ft hose but this thing will out pump my Log home house hose only disapointment Made in China. But our Unions won't let us compete and I'm tired of hearing how much I get paid and don't do anything and am ashamed one was my own brother who retired from Oldsmobile well there out of busness now ?? OK! but Buy this pump for any remote work to move water it self primes in a second.

I tested this pump with a one inch ID hose and 3 ft. lift. Pumped over 20 gal/min. I believe with zero head and 1 1/4 inch hose it would have pumped the rated capacity. The pump was on sale for about 40usd. I have seen this same pump in my local farm discount store for 119usd. I don't know about the longevity, but if this pump holds up it is a great buy. Pumps water like crazy. Thumbs up!

Seized up after a single month's light duty. Several hard whacks with the rubber mallet brought it back on line. Works great for anyone with percussive maintenance experience. Very poor design, execution, and production.

Pump has been issue free for two years. I like it. I should have went with a different version and hardwired it. It will run down a battery fairly quickly.
