Submersible Clean/Dirty Water Sump Pump 1/2hp with built in Automatic ON/OFF (no external float switch needed) 2100GPH, 16'Head, Thermal Protector, Copper Winding - Schraiberpump

I bought this pump to move water from a back part of my property that was flooding regularly. It sits in a submerged 5 gallon bucket. The auto shut off (or rather auto turn on) works great. I could have gone with a smaller hp pump in reality. The water it pumps can get pretty murky with a lot of debris and it works fine. I went with this one because it didn't require an external float and fits nicely in the small bucket.I wound up using a hose from an above ground pool before the flat discharge so that it would make the turn out of the bucket without kinking before the run further so that took a few things to figure out the best. There probably is a more elegant way to do this but for now it has been solid even with heavy rain.

Note that Automatic pump doesn’t turn in until it reaches almost 7 inches. Very powerful. Doesn’t work with garden hose tho. Had to attach separate hose. Overall great choice and worth the $$

This is a garbage product. The automatic switch does not come on. It worked once and has not come on since. Had to buy an adapter and did not come with a hose. Save your money. Amazon should stop the seller from ripping people off!

at first I was going to return the pump due to having such poorly written instructions.....badly translated English I guess. Then I changed my mind and figured out how it worked and hooked it up in a sump I just dug under the house for all the water we get from climate change these days. It works well, and is quiet. It's non metallic construction shell seems real durable. It is a essentially a trash pump, meaning it is capable of handling large solids if you are pumping water with junk in it. Although this manufacturer is clearly offshore and there is no history on these pumps yet, I think it is a good risk for the money. Funny they chose a german sounding name for the pump, even though I am sure it is made in China...

Not the same suction power as the 1hp model I bought 5 months earlier at the same price point. The automatic on /off switch quit working on the 1hp. Had to rework it to make it work. Returned the 1/2 hp one

Because of EXTREME water in my Sump Pump basin, I installed this pump as an auxiliary to work with the existing pump. It has been pumping faithfully and constantly for 2 weeks, reducing the work from my main pump. I am thrilled with the Auto on/off as it is ideal instead of having to have a secondary float switch. The price was fantastic and I will probably be ordering another as an additional back-up in case of fail.*FOLLOW UP - After a little over 2 years of almost constant service/running, this little pump finally gave in. I have been more than impressed with it's reliability AND have just ordered another one.

This is pumping straight up eight feet. Then it travels horizontally for another 40' to discharge. It does that without issue. It pumps fast. I have not tried the manual setting but the automatic setting works fine. It has a very long cord (probably 10') to reach an outlet. I have nothing negative to report.The only suggestion I have for the seller is to offer a 'check valve' to install on the outlet side, or at least a reminder to purchase one before installation. A lot of water runs back down the eight foot pipe that immediately fills back into the cavity.

The pump has quit working and is running constantly even though there is no water to pump. It worked great for the 4 or 5 time We used it, but it now is running with no reason. I would like a refund, I will send this back. Thank You, I would hope that this pump would have had a longer life span.
