Why it matters
The SMUTP is a 1/10 HP transfer pump that sits outside the water and moves up to 330 GPH between garden hoses. SumpMarine says to prime it before use and keep the suction end submerged.
It includes a 6 ft hose, a suction attachment and an impeller replacement kit.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Aquariums and waterbeds
- Water heaters
- Clogged sinks
Look elsewhere if
- Submerging in water (the motor must stay dry)
- Dirty water with grit
- Long continuous runs
Pros and cons
Pros
- Cheap
- Spare impeller
- Portable
Cons
- Must be primed
- Low flow
- No switch on this version
Limitations to weigh
- Transfer pumps sit outside the water: fill the pump head before each start and never run it dry.
- Small brushed transfer motors wear their carbon brushes and impeller; keep the spares that come in the box.
