FOTING 1/2HP Submersible Water Pump with Stainless Steel Base - Removes Water to 0.04" Depth, 2450GPH Portable Sump Pump for Puddles, Pools, Boats, Gardens & Ponds - 10Ft Cord Included

This pump takes it down all the way to about maybe a 16th of an inch of water left. If that much, I love this pump. I accidentally left it running after it finished pumping out a pit, and it ran for about eight hours with no water in it, and still works.. WOW!

This little pump is a great hard working pump that is one of few that goes so close to the floor and therefore picks up the most amount of water that I could find on the internet. For indoor use I could not fathom using anything else.Most other pumps had about 1/2”-1” clearance that would leave water at same level on your floors that would have to be removed manually. Nobody needs that.

There are no picture instructions. You have to scan a QR code and I can't do that. Made everything very difficult.

Works great

After thinking about it, I have to ultimately give it one star. Starting at zero, I give it half the stars, 2.5, because it worked about half the time. I bought it because it was supposed to suck out a lot of of the water, it said something like to a fifth of an inch or .04 of an inch. Suffice to say, it did not suck out all the water to that level. It left quite a bit of water, more than could evaporate in a day. So, I give minus a star. That gets us to 1.5 stars. I don’t know why it just stopped working. I mean I would plug it in, unplug it, plug it back in, and just nothing would happen. I used it as instructed, and I read everything I could about troubleshooting, but it just wouldn’t work. one thing to keep in mind, you cannot use a flexible or expanding hose. You have to connect it to one of the oldschool style green hoses. And so between those last two issues, the lack of durability And limited interoperability with tools you might have, I ended up minusing another half star.

Works great. Have drained 3 pools now. Only downside is the pump tips over when drained and the shutoff was stuck in a position that it didn’t stop the pump. Just keep an eye on it as the water gets low. Great value and well built.

We get flooded occasionally and after hurricane Milton the basement area flooded a lot, the water continued to seep up into the area for 2+ weeks. My existing pumps (1/4 ,1/3, and 1/2 hp ) were not getting the water out quickly or low enough. All the local stores were sold out of pumps so I decided to get an additional pump from Amazon. The Foting 2450 1/2 hp. was about 1/2 the price of most sump pumps and came the next day with Amazon Prime. I was surprised that it came with 3 adapters for garden hose and 1-1/2 hose. Bonus!, It's not mentioned in the add but it comes with a flapper style check valve that goes inside of the adapters. It pumps like mad through a garden hose so I don't know what's up with the bad review about it not pumping (probably had the check valve installed backwards). I also purchased the Superior Pump 99621 1-1/2 inch Lay-Flat Discharge Hose Kit through Amazon and coupled it to the pump. Now it really flows through that larger hose. Another bonus feature I noticed is that this pump primes itself by releasing some water at the midsection of the pump when it first starts. This is a big time saver compared to a normal sump pump in very shallow water. The claim about it pumping water down to .04 of an inch is true and you'll find your self struggling to lift the pump off the floor when it's on because the suction is strong. The pump is not automatic and it would be impossible to find an automatic that pumps water down so low. What I did on this flood is use WIFI switches to power the pumps and monitored the water level with a WYZE pan cam V3 camera from Amazon. So I used my phone to monitor the flood level with the camera app and used Alexa to turn on/off the pumps. Eventually I figured out the water level rise rate as well as the pump out rate. With this information I programed the WIFI switches when to come on and off. This made life so much easier for the 2 weeks+ of being flooded. I like this pump so much I purchased a second one!
