Review on πŸ’¦ RainBro Oil Free Stainless Steel Submersible Utility Pump – Powerful 1/2 HP Water Pump with 30ft. Power Cord – Model# SUP050 by Gordo Prince

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good thing to keep an eye on is how the weather and flooding changes.

My basement has had a lot of water problems in the 16 years I've lived here. I've had three standby sewers in as many years, and luckily the city has separated storm and sewers so I didn't get swamped, at least not like that. However, there are other ways to flood you, and in my basement is a large underground room sealed off beneath a master bedroom and an additional bath that was installed 15 years after the house was built in 1955. There were copper pipes in there, and they froze a few years ago. Almost turned the subway into a swimming pool, not to mention getting a $900 water bill from the city. They used something like this pump to pump water into a ditch in the back, it took about a day. I have some large sewer grates in my basement so look at this work, I dropped them in a swamp last rainy day and pumped water into the sewer grate. Considering the time, this was only a few seconds slower than the sump in the pit (note I disabled that pump when testing). Good emergency backup when I have power or a large backup inverter. highlighted.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
