FOTING 1HP Sump Pump – 4600 GPH Submersible Utility Pump for Pools, Ponds, Basements

The FOTING Sump Pump 1HP offers a compact, portable solution for moving water quickly and efficiently across pools, ponds, basements, and other low-lying spaces. Its practical design blends strong flow with flexible connections and safety features, making it a versatile tool for water transfer and drainage tasks around the home or workshop.

Power and performance

• 1 HP motor delivers up to 4600 GPH at a 5 ft lift, with a total lift capability reaching up to 31 ft for versatile drainage scenarios.
• Removes water down to approximately 1/5 inch from the surface to help clear standing liquid efficiently.

Automation and ease of use

• Automatic water sensor starts pumping when water is present and stops after 15 seconds with no detected water, reducing the need for manual monitoring on flat floors.

Durability and design

• Thermoplastic housing provides corrosion resistance and durable performance in damp environments.
• Removable bottom enables quick cleaning and maintenance, while a rounded handle adds comfort and safety during transport.

Connections and flexibility

• Discharge connection at NPT 1-1/2 inches with adapters for 3/4 inch garden hoses and other sizes, allowing you to tailor the setup to your hoses and flow needs.

Energy, safety, and maintenance tips

• Engineered for low noise and energy efficiency, with a built-in automatic thermal overload to guard the motor during prolonged use.
• Before first use, submerge the pump at an angle to help trapped air escape for smoother operation.

Equipped with a 16 ft power cord, this pump is designed to reach distant outlets and handle a range of transfer tasks—from draining a damp basement to transferring water between pools or ponds. Real-world results depend on factors like hose size, lift, and water volume, but the unit’s combination of power, adaptability, and ease of maintenance positions it as a practical option for homeowners and hobbyists alike.
