Why it matters
Green Expert rates this 1/4 HP pump at up to 1,800 GPH and 28 ft of lift. It's light and simple: drop it in, plug it in and it runs.
It comes with a 1-1/4 in hose barb, a garden hose adapter and a lifting rope. Green Expert recommends standard hoses, not expandable ones.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Flooded basements and garages
- Pool and hot tub draining
- Emergency kits
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
- Light
- 28 ft lift
- Adapters and rope
Cons
- Manual only
- One-year warranty
- Avoid expandable hoses
Limitations to weigh
- Manual pumps run only while switched on; stay with the pump so it doesn't run dry.
- A garden-hose outlet limits flow; use the larger discharge where the pump has one.
