Why it matters
Aquastrong rates the ESU100PM at up to 4,500 GPH at 5 ft and 30 ft of lift from a 1 HP motor. It drains to about 1/5 in.
The 1-1/4 in NPT discharge comes with an elbow and snap adapters for 3/4, 1 and 1-1/4 in hoses. It has a mechanical seal and thermal overload protection.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Pools and hot tubs
- Flooded basements
- Window wells
Look elsewhere if
- Permanent sump pits (a sump pump with a switch suits better)
- Sewage or grey water with solids
- Unattended running on manual models
Pros and cons
Pros
- High flow
- Adapters included
- Thermal protection
Cons
- Manual only
- Short cord
- Import brand
Limitations to weigh
- Manual pumps run only while switched on; stay with the pump so it doesn't run dry.
- Rated flow is at little or no lift; through a garden hose or up a stairwell, expect much less.
