Works great! - my new review

Perfect to empty my pool. I almost spent $$$ on the big box store brand but decided to take a chance on this one. Great investment

Pros
  • INGENIOUS DESIGN:The higher base plate assures the prevention of debris collection in the sump pit, thermal overload protection ensures the utility pump operates within spec for longer durability
Cons
  • May not work with certain types of water outlets

Worked like a charm!

Used to pump out 20,000 gal. In-ground swimming pool for pool remodelling. I connected to 2" drain hose with minor difficulty. Took several hours to drain pool. Handy little pump for any pool owner to have.

Pros
  • This pump drained my 22 ft above ground pool in 7 hours. Good investment to get the job done!
Cons
  • Hard to access and clean

Replaced Home Sump Pump

Old sump pump started to have an issue with its switch. Replaced with this unit, hookup to old piping was simple. The main sump drain line was 1-1/2”, which is the main connect for the pump. Cleared a full tank in a couple seconds and turned off as expected. Only concern in a small space like this is modify the switch to turn on the moment water displaces the float. I did this by using a couple zip ties without issue.

Pros
  • The DEKO 400W sump pump represents excellent value for the money, offering powerful performance and reliable operation at an accessible price point
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in swimming pools

Empty most of our pool

Bought it to empty our 20 ft swimming pool and it was going great until it reached ankle height which then it stopped.Doesn't work on low level water. Ended up using a fishtank pump for the remaining water. OVERALL OK but if you have low level water it will not work. Still happy with the purchase as it did empty most of it fast.

Pros
  • About 4 months left, works great, noise level is not so high
Cons
  • May not fit in some sump pits

Works great for Hot Tub

Did a great job draining our hot tub - however, I had to go to home depot to get a out flow hose as this pump does not come with one. Still worth 5 stars!

Pros
  • POWERFUL SUMP PUMP:400 Watt, 1/2 HP motor. Max Lift: 16 Feet; 1981 Gallon Per Hour rating tackles any draining job at a fraction of the time. This submersible water pump easily passes solids up to 1/2" in diameter. GREAT for flooded area, swimming pools, cellars or garden pond
Cons
  • Not designed for continuous use

Don't waste your money!

I bought the DEKO 400W 1/2HP Sump pump a year ago and used it about 4 times before it stopped working. Took it apart, didn't see any any thing clogging the outlet. Impeller is seized.

Pros
  • AUTO FLOAT SWITCH:Start/stop automatically. When water level is below 4.7 inch, it will automatically disconnect the power; when water level rises above 4.7 inch, the sump pump submersible will start again. Cut off immediately when pump fails to pump water to prevent the coil from getting burned
Cons
  • Not suitable for some soil types

Rivals pumps that are double the price

First pump DOA and Best Buy quickly fixed that. Honestly I expect it at this price point and don’t mind. Great pump that outperforms a similar $120 Home Depot pump. Thank you for making such an affordable pump.

Pros
  • ‎Black
Cons
  • May cause damage to home foundation

I like this pump - my new review

I am using this to pump water from a patio that ponds up water when it rains heavy. I buried a basin and put this pump in it. It is very quiet and pumps water fast. The design is such that it will allow large solids to pass through it - a must for me. It will draw the basin down to 3-4” before it starts sucking air, some may find this a drawback if you need it to pump out completely.

Pros
  • Gets the job done
Cons
  • May leak or spill water

Great value, easy to use, and works!

Better than I expected! I had a need to fulfill to bring water to 10 acres in the middle of the woods. This pump fit the bill! The price and the ease of use exceeded my expectations. I will buy another for more use.

Pros
  • At 16 feet in length, the pump's cable is long enough to reach most sump pits, providing greater placement flexibility for your setup
Cons
  • Not suitable for commercial use

works so far 2022: my feedback

It either came with a broken case or broke the first time i used it, not sure, however the bottom case plate is halfway broken off (very thin plastic), it is not crucial to operation but could restrict intake flow. Like so many products I buy today, I have to fix it before i can use it.

Pros
  • Great sump pump
Cons
  • Only suitable for small sump pits

Does what it supposed to, until it shorts

This pump does exactly what it is supposed to do, but mine only worked twice before it started tripping GFIs. I use this pump inside a rain barrel that is fed by a rear hose gutter. It pumps through 1.5inch PVC and a heavy duty Gorilla pool discharge hose. Quite a nifty setup, if you ask me. In any case, the GFI the pump was plugged into started tripping during the second rain. Changed the existing GFI to a new 20A unit, problem persisted. Switched to GFI on different circuit, but problem…

Pros
  • Use it to drain 500 gallon hot tub. Works great, saves a lot of time.
Cons
  • May require frequent maintenance

Crap float in my review

Stopped working after couple months. Float was also getting stuck all the time.not turning off when it should or on. Probably why it burnt out

Pros
  • As advertised
Cons
  • Unreliable performance

Great pump best in my review

Works fast, fits many hoses. I'm not sure why my review ratings were for "Value for the Money" (Five Star), "Sheerness" (? Whaaat?), and "Warmth" (? Again, Whaaat?) This pump is neither sheer nor warm, but it works great. better than a certain sites algorythm for appropriate survey questions. Just Sayin'

Pros
  • As a submersible pump, this unit operates quietly and efficiently, without the need for noisy external motor components
Cons
  • May not be able to handle dirt or debris
