Why it matters
Acquaer rates this 1/3 HP pump at up to 3,040 GPH and 29 ft of lift. Its float starts it once the water rises above the pump and shuts it off when pumping stops.
A higher base plate and top suction help prevent air locks and filter debris. It has a thermal protector and a three-year warranty.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Automatic float
- Top suction
- 3-year warranty
Cons
- Needs water above the pump
- 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.
