FLUENTPOWER 1HP Portable Garden Transfer Pump, 900GPH Electric Sprinkler Booster Pump, Shallow Well Jet Pump for Home Lawn Irrigation and Water Draining, 13 ft Suction Hose Kit included

I used the pump to pump water out of the lake and irrigate my lawn and gardens. This pump works great. I thought it might need to be mounted on a base due to vibration but that is not necessary. I bought a 1” hose with filter and also a 1 foot cube mesh box to further filter lake water. Priming is straightforward. Didn’t get any clogs or debris from the lake into the pump. The model I got had a built in plastic filter as well. The water pressure was great. There is more than enough pressure to operate an oscillating sprinkler spraying appx 30 feet in both directions. This was at the end of 200 feet of garden hose going up a 10’ slope from the lake and another 20’ up to a side yard. Pump seems well built and sturdy. Didn’t get hot after 3-4 hours of continuous use. There were all adapters and accessories included in box.

This pump works well for lawn and garden irrigation. It has already paid for itself - even if my town did not have an outdoor watering ban, I would have already paid more for water than I paid for the pump.The image shows the pump with 2 1-inch to garden-hose-thread adapters (WKUP F001 NPT to GHT Adapter - 1 NPT Male x 3/4 GHT Male, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078KV2S93/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ), and a 'foot' valve (Parts2O TC2503LF 1-Inch Foot Valve, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZTV3DK/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) that retains water in the feed hose when the pump is off. The foot valve is connected to the feed hose with another adapter and a female-female coupling (Gilmour Brass x NH 807734-1001 Heavy Duty Hose Connector Double Female Swivel 3/4 inch, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJYR5K/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). The image was taken as I was testing the setup in a bucket.In use the foot valve is suspended in an old washing machine tub, which is in a pond. Others have described using buckets with punched holes to avoid pumping mud and debris. My experience is that a standard garden hose does not collapse in use as a feed hose. Water is pumped through another standard garden hose to a lawn sprinkler. The pump provides enough pressure to run the sprinkler over an about 15-foot vertical rise.In my experience the pump needs to be well-primed and to be connected to a filled feed hose. On first use with my setup I fill the feed hose by submerging the whole hose in the pond. I bring the hose to the pump which I stand on its end. With the output side hose arranged higher than the pump I pour clean water in the feed until the pump chamber is full then connect the feed hose. When first working with the pump I didn't have the drain plug tightened enough and I wasn't getting good pressure - now I am careful to make sure all the fittings on the feed side are tight. In 'answered questions' the manufacturer says the pump is rated for continuous duty and that the pump is cooled by feed water. I have been running the pump sometimes 16 hours a day without a problem.Bottom line - highly recommended.

For a midsize pump this is very good. Noise is very reasonable and pump is reliable. I use it to drop the water level in my inground pool in the winter. Reason I gave 4 as opposed to 5 stars is that after two years (ie, out of warranty) and used maybe 10 times, I went to pick it up and the handle broke off. I contacted customer service and asked about a replacement handle, advised that I was willing to pay if needed. They responded that they would look into it. That was the last I ever heard.

This was an excellent pump for our garden.We used it to pumped rain water from the drum down spout next house down to about 100 feet to the end our property. This worked perfectly.I can tell the material is a heavy duty without any worry of breaking it for just 1 use. This pump will be use constantly to transfer water from one tank to another especially during summer.I will update this review next summer.

Unit looks good, nice and clean. However functionality/Reliability is not acceptable. It worked good for only 2-weeks and then it stopped working and the motor gets too hot. Suction line is always in 5ft of water(clean water). Even installed a water level cut out float to keep it from running dry. Received Feb. 10th, 2025 installed Mar. 3rd 2025 and died Mar 17th, 2025. Amazon chat says can't return unit and no other option. I DO NOT recommend this pump. Too costly for its reliability/performance

I purchased this to empty some water features I have. The filtration pump is not mint to drain the water. I am tired of spending most of the day using buckets to drain and clean stream and pond areas. This should do the job within an hour or two. So far, I have used it to empty an in-ground 30' x 15' swimming pool. It drained the pool much faster than expected. With the volume of water and how much it says it pumps 1,200 gallons per hours. It should have taken about 25 hours to empty a 30,000-gallon pool of water. It only took only 14 hours. I started it at around 6pm, checked it again at 2am and the pool was over half empty. I checked it again at 6am and it was down to about 3 feet left in the deep end, the bowl. It was completely empty by 8am.Much better pump than I expected. I would have been happy with it taking 25 hours. Taking just 14 allows allowed the repairs to start a day early..If you need a good pump, this is the one.

In using this I noted something unexpected. It provides way more water pressure than the what comes out of spigot. We daisy chained 4 sprinklers together with this pump. Directly on the house spigot it doesn't work as the pressure is inadequate; but, this units seems to provide enough pressure to run 4 daisy chained sprinklers with no loss of pressure resulting in the sprinklers further down chain not getting adequate pressure.

I purchased this to pump water out of a lake to water my new lawn. After priming the pump, it had petty good pressure, but sometimes the pressure drops. The stainless steel end bell of the pump is very thin. I used a stainless steel fitting in the suction inlet for the first few days and when I removed it, the stainless threads on the pump were coming out with the fitting.
