Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech 115-Volt Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump

Great Pump

This submersible pump is easy to use and does the job it is supposed to do efficiently and quickly.

Just what we needed.

Sewer pump failed. Needed to pump out a backed up sewer. A Lowes employee in Oshkosh recommended this pump. The pump did what it was supposed to do. Did it well.

Life Saver

I purchased this Submersible Utility Pump out of necessity to Flush my Rinnai tankless water heater, which was beeping having problems creating hot water because it was in desperate need of flushing apparently. After reading my manual finding out the problem, I went online youtube and plumbing sites to see if this could be done by a beginner rather than call a plumber over to flush it for $$$$. I didn't have time to order from Amazon for cheaper price, local plumber warehouse wanted to sale me a...

Good Pump For The Money

We purchased this pump last month to pump the water out of our basement due to all of the rain we have had over the last couple of months. When we first got this pump, I filled the washer with water and submerged the pump in the washer and plugged it in. While it is overrated at pumping 25 gallons per minute, it did pump the washer dry in about a minute and a half with over 20 gallons of water in the washer. It connects to any standard garden hose which we stuck in with the washer pump water ou...

Every pool owner should own one of these.

Before I could have my new pool cover delivered, I needed to have approx. 18" of water pumped out. It was not a good idea to have the water go through my pool pump. This pump is going to come in handy for anyone who owns a pool. I only wish I had purchased it years ago. Very easy to use. When I called to inquire about the different pumps available, the Lowe's employee asked me what I needed it for and help me determine the right size horse power. I asked him which aisle the product was in and w...

does the job

I only wish it had a float. Works well to remove water from crawl space due to heavy rains.

Sucks, but it's supposed to.

This pump did a good job of removing the water from under my house and I'd love leave it there, but can't because it isn't automatic.

Low pump rate

product could not keep up with the rain.. Product would slow down and not pump consistently.

25GPM? On what fantasy world?

This is a nice little pump, but I think it is badly over priced for the performance you get out of it. I expected a LOT more for a hundred dollars worth of pump!!! On the plus side, the pump does pump consistently. It is heavy enough to stay upright without difficulty. It is portable and convenient, doesn't take up much room, and is perfect for small drain jobs. If they rated it at, say, 5 gallons per minute, then it would be believable and would get five stars. But 25GPM? Maybe in an ideal set...

Good submersible pump.

The pump works fine but I failed to get one with auto shut-off. Therefore, you kind f have to babysit it. Also, these pumps need mesh wrapped around it to keep gravel out in a crawl space. But, overall it out ps water out very well

Reasonable and worked well

I purchased this sump pump after finding a frozen water line in my crawl space had popped the copper and filled my crawlspace with approximately 6" of water. I bought this pump primarily because of the 3/4" discharge line from it. The pump had to be placed approximately 30' from crawlspace access area and discharge hose strung through under house approximately 40' to discharge area. Pump cleared the area of water in approximately 20 minutes and the repair was made on the copper line within anoth...

needs an input screen

Use only if you have clean water to pump. Without an input screen, it clogs easy. But with a clean water source, it pumps well.

Works Great

Bought this pump to drain my hot tub,. Worked great but took longer than expected. I used a 5/8 inch, 175 foot garden hose. Drained the entire 500 gallons with no problems. Great product. Price reasonable.

Great Buy

I was looking for a cheap pump to drain water from a pond i was digging. This was the year that we had record rain and snowfalls. My unfinished pond was constantly filling, so I found this pump and decided to take a chance. It did the job. This pump was pumping in 33 degree weather, continuously for 10 days and this little pump probably pumped out 500,000 gallons of water so that I could finish my pond. I had no problems with it during this process. I then used it to pump various projects around...

Marginal

The connection between the pump and a garden hose leaked.

Got'er Done!

Have only used this pump once to drain our spa. No fuss, no muss & no frills! Simple to use, just plug - n - play. Worked just as advertised. Great pump for the price!
