FOTING Sump Pump 1/2HP 4900GPH High-Flow Submersible Pump — Portable for Pool, Basement, Garden

Overview

The FOTING Sump Pump is a portable, submersible unit designed to move water quickly and confidently from pools, basements, ponds, boats, and other wet spaces. With a 1/2 HP motor, it delivers a robust 4900 GPH flow rate (about 81 GPM) and can lift water up to 29 feet, offering flexible drainage where gravity isn’t enough.

Its thermoplastic housing is crafted for durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for regular use in damp environments. The impeller automatically adjusts to different fluid viscosities, while the design keeps noise low and energy use modest, helping routine water removal feel straightforward rather than disruptive.
