Why it matters
Acquaer rates the TRP010 at up to 264 GPH and 46 ft of lift from a 1/10 HP motor. It has a metal volute and fittings and thermal overload protection.
Wet the impeller before the first start. It includes a 6 ft suction hose, a suction attachment that drains to about 1/8 in, an impeller kit and a two-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if

Look elsewhere if

- Long continuous runs
Pros and cons
Pros
- Two-year warranty
- Metal parts
- Thermal protection
Cons
- Lower flow
