Why it matters
The X-100PD is Acquaer's 1 HP dirty water pump: up to 4,948 GPH or 30 ft of head, and it passes solids up to 1-1/3 in.
Its adjustable float runs it automatically, or can be kept upright for manual running. A raised base keeps it above pit debris, and it has a 19.7 ft cord and a two-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Dirty floodwater
- Temporary sump pits
- Ponds and pools
Look elsewhere if
- Sewage
- Shallow puddles
- Narrow pits
Pros and cons
Pros
- 1-1/3 in solids
- Adjustable float
- 19.7 ft cord
Cons
- Large
- Leaves water behind
- Protect from freezing
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.
