Review on πŸ”Œ Tsurumi LB-480; Portable Slimline Dewatering Pump, 2/3hp, 115V, 2-inch Discharge by James Sevenfourgd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for clear water but clogs easily otherwise

I use three of these to pump water 28 feet uphill from my 10,000 gallon carp pond to a stream/fall 24 hours a day, 7 days a week week to operate. It's been 1.5 years but the local store I bought them from refused to cover them with a guarantee so I'm buying them from Revain now. The other two I have at the moment are just over 3 years old. My biggest problem with this is the small size of the suction holes, they often get clogged with seeds from nearby trees, needles and algae from the pond. Clean at least weekly to maintain performance, otherwise water flow will be reduced to a trickle. When the inlet is clean, provides adequate water flow, and otherwise requires minimal maintenance.

Pros
  • Rough plumbing
Cons
  • I'll write later
