Tsurumi - HS2.4S-62 HS2.4S; semi-Vortex Submersible Trash Pump w/Agitator, 1/2hp, 115V, 2 Discharge Blue

Does the job well. Also well made.

We certainly needed one of these for our floods this year! I did not know until later, unfortunately, that I could have gotten a float-activated version.

solidly built. Very Quiet. Its doing a fantastic job driving my backyard water feature. Highly rated.

I previously hated emptying and cleaning my hot tub because it took hours to drain, etc. I bought this sump pump and this thing will drain my 500 gallon hot tub in about 10 minutes! You need to attach a special hose to it. I bought this one -- Abbott Rubber 1147-2000-50 PVC Discharge Hose Assembly, Blue, 2 Male X Female NPSM, 65 psi Max Pressure, 50 Length, 2 ID. It screws right on to the sump pump (no special couplings needed). So, yes, I did spend about $400 (sump pump plus hose) to make it easier to drain and clean my hot tub, which seemed a ridiculous amount of money to me. But I already invested thousands in buying my hot tub, so another $400 didnt seem like much to ensure that I keep my hot tub regularly drained and cleaned, and with as little time and pain as possible. Now I know longer dread having to do this task. I can finish in about 15 minutes, and then I can just start filling it up again (which takes an hour or so). This sump pump is super durable. It also is super quiet. You literally cannot even hear it while it is underwater. Ive never owned a sump pump before, so this was all new to me. You just submerge this thing into the water and then plug it in, and then it does its thing. Obviously, it would work to remove any body of water (i.e., not just drain a hot tub). As for the issue of where to drain hot tub water, I was concerned the chlorinated water might kill the backyard grass, so I sent the hose around to the side of the house, an area that is mostly dirt and that I never water. Well, after emptying 500 gallons of water there, a bunch of grass has sprouted up -- ha! To be honest, I think if you just go 3 or 4 days without adding chlorine and get your chlorine level down to a low level (as per the little strip you put in the water to check the chlorine, PH, etc. levels), it would probably be fine to drain right onto the grass.

Pump is very well made. Been using it for a while now with no issues. Getting ready to order another one.

Sump pump lasted 4 years of heavy use, for most consumers, it should last much longer. Now running my second one.

Very Good

Great pump. Works very good.

Bought this pump to replace a gasoline driven pump that we had previously used to fill our pond in the spring. (Were in the country, so when I say pond I mean a .5 acre 20 foot deep body of water - just for reference). To be honest I had my doubts going into it. Our previous gas pump was 5.5 HP, where as this one was only 1 HP, leaving me to wonder if it would have enough oomph to push water up the hill and across the field into our pond. Within an hour of using it, my doubts were gone. Having ran it for a few days continuously now, I am even more impressed. This little baby really moves some water! Plus it is far more portable, quiet, and environmentally friendly than our previous gas model. Love this!

Easy to operate out of the box.
