Overview
The Superior Pump 91250 is a 1/4 HP thermoplastic submersible utility pump rated to move up to 1800 gallons per hour and lift water as high as 25 feet, aimed at general water removal rather than a fixed sump pit.
Where a cast iron sump pump is built to sit in one pit for years, this thermoplastic pump is pitched at broader utility work such as flooded basements, window wells and draining containers. A removable suction screen and 1/8 inch solids handling let it deal with light debris without stalling.
- 1800 GPH, 25 foot lift, 1/4 HP
- 10 foot cord
- 1-1/4 inch NPT discharge plus 3/4 inch hose adapter
- Handles solids up to 1/8 inch
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants one portable pump for occasional flooding, garden ponds or draining containers, rather than a permanent installed sump pump.
Pros and cons
- Moves up to 1800 GPH and lifts water 25 feet
- Includes a garden hose adapter for portable use
- Removable suction screen simplifies cleaning
- No automatic float switch for unattended sump use
- Thermoplastic housing is less rugged than cast iron
Performance notes
The 1-1/4 inch NPT discharge is sized for higher flow than a garden hose alone, and the included 3/4 inch garden hose adapter lets it double as a portable transfer pump. The removable suction screen keeps small debris out of the impeller while still passing solids up to 1/8 inch.
