Why it matters
Acquaer rates this 1/2 HP pump at up to 4,060 GPH and 32 ft of lift. Its adjustable float starts it above about 10 in of water and cuts power at about 2.8 in.
The reinforced thermoplastic body handles clean and dirty water, a thermal protector guards the motor, and Acquaer gives it a three-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it

Pros and cons
Pros
- Automatic float
- 3-year warranty
- Good flow
Cons
- Needs 10 in to start
- Large body
- Leaves water behind
Limitations to weigh
- Check your pit diameter against the switch: vertical floats fit narrow pits, tethered floats need room to swing.
- Rated flow is at little or no lift; through a garden hose or up a stairwell, expect much less.
