Jemix Plastic Sewage Pump GSMAX-400 with Built-in Float
My Honest Take on a Submersible Pump for Water and Groundwater
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently gave a submersible pump a try for my water and groundwater needs, hoping to save some cash on pricey septic pumping services. This pump's designed to suck up water and particles from the bottom, but I'm not entirely convinced it can handle particles as small as 35 millimeters. After some trial and error, I found it's more suited for sump basins and groundwater, or draining a pool like my BESTWAY Steel Pro Max 366x366x76 cm pool. It's a decent option if you're looking for a budget-friendly solution, but don't expect it to handle large particles or sewage.
