Why it matters
The Q1CZ-800C is a 1/2 HP cast iron transfer pump rated at up to 1,600 GPH and 120 ft of head, several times the flow of 1/10 HP transfer pumps.
It has a built-in power switch, a tool-free inlet, brass connectors and a 10 ft cord. Prime it with water before each use.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Draining pools
- Large tanks
- Garden watering
Look elsewhere if
- Submerging in water (the motor must stay dry)
- Dirty water with grit
- Long continuous runs
Pros and cons
Pros
- High flow
- Cast iron
- Power switch
Cons
- Heavy

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.
