Submersible Drain Pump, Portable Water Pump for Hot Tub, Koi Pond, Drain Up To 1,800 Gallons per Hour

Wow. I was very pleased with this. I have a 400+ gallon hot tub, and it takes about an hour or so to fill when empty. This puppy pumped out the water in about 5 to 10 minutes. It was faster than I thought, so I really wasn’t keeping track of the time. As with many of these products, there’s a bit of standing water at the end since it has to have the bottom submerged to suck it out. But that was no biggie. Just through a bunch of towels in there and that was it. Love it!

I purchased to drain a 300 gallon hot tub and it worked great. It took less than 30 minutes to drain. So glad that I don't need to crawl under my deck to loosen panels to drain any longer.

This pump is easy to use and indeed it does empty a hot tub quickly. It emptied my 500 gallon tub in 17 minutes. My only complaint is that it leaves about two inches of water in the tub that has to be manually scooped out. This is due to the impeller design on the bottom of the pump. It will looks suction when the water level drops below the blue colored body. The fittings that come with this pump do not fit a standard garden hose and I imagine it would be difficult and more costly to try to find the fittings to step it down. And, it doesn't really make sense to try to use a garden hose with this pump. It would greatly restrict it's performance. Make sure you buy the proper hose kit with this pump. I bought the 12' kit from Amazon when I purchased the pump. However, I found a 24' hose kit at Lowes Home Improvement for about the same price as the 12'.

Works great. Drains my 1800 gallon swim spa in less than 2 hours. Just wish it didn't need the cutoff float. I have to tether it to a fixed upright position because letting it cutoff at the normal point would leave 100's of gallons in the pool, which is too much to bail out manually. But by tethering it, I have to watch it carefully at the end, lest it run dry. It would be nice if it just sensed the lack of intake water and didn't need the float to cutoff. But it is fast, reliable and inexpensive.

Love this pump! The job of cleaning out the spa seemed so overwhelming and I was really dreading it. I bought this pump after reading that it's much faster than using the spa drain. I also purchased the Flotec Universal Discharge Hose FP0012-6U-P2 to use instead of a standard hose. Wow, the spa drained in no time. I didn't time it but it was approximately 15 minutes. It left about an inch of water on the bottom that I scooped up into a bucket, cleaned the spa and refilled it and it was done. Easy as pie! It's a really sturdy piece of equipment and I feel certain it will last for a very long time. I'm extremely pleased with this pump and even more pleased to know that this makes cleaning the spa such a simple task!

This pump was pretty great. Used it to drain my hot tub 3-4 times and it was pretty fast. Just like the other reviews, be aware that it wont drain it completely, you'll have a few inches left of water that you have to manually scoop out. That didn't bother me too much.. But just went out to use it again and it no longer works -- plug it in, throw it in the hot tub, nothing.. The pump is controlled by a float, occasionally it would act up and id have to tap it before to get it to turn back on, but now it's just shot.. I'm assuming it's the switch in the float that is no longer working.

Works great on my Hot Tub! I drained my 344 gallon hot tub in less than a half hour. I like that it has multiple connection options.

Worked well for a bit but then stopped after only a handful of uses.
