Why it matters
The DSP04C draws water through a side inlet with a metal filter, which keeps it from sucking up bottom sediment. Tenzzola rates its 1/3 HP motor at up to 2,400 GPH and 30 ft of lift.
The 1 in discharge takes a multi-use adapter for garden hose, 1-1/4 in NPT and 1-1/2 in barbed fittings. It drains to about 1/5 in and has a 12-month warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Pools and ponds
- Rain barrels
- Water heater flushing
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
- Side inlet
- Metal filter
- Multi-use adapter
Cons
- Manual only
- 1 in discharge
- Import brand
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.
