Why it matters
The 91250 is Superior's 1/4 HP thermoplastic utility pump. Superior rates it at up to 1,800 GPH and 25 ft of vertical lift, through a 1-1/4 in NPT discharge with a 3/4 in garden hose adapter.
A removable suction screen passes solids up to 1/8 in, and it has a 10 ft cord and a one-year limited warranty. It runs while plugged in, so stay with it.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Flooded basements and window wells
- Draining hot tubs and tanks
- Occasional jobs
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
- Low price
- 1-1/4 in discharge
- 25 ft lift
Cons
- Manual only
- One-year warranty
- Small solids only
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.
- A garden-hose outlet limits flow; use the larger discharge where the pump has one.
