Model 44 Floor Sucker Utility Pump - 1/4 HP, 9 Ft Cord

There's not much to comment on. The pump was as described, shipped fast and worked as expected out of the box.

I bought zoeller because they are quality products, but I would pay more if it was made in America. thank you, dp knoll

I have one of these in my 25 foot long by 4 foot high evaporative cooling walls for my 30x60 greenhouse. I bought this second one for my 16x5x5 inground tilapia tank centered in the greenhouse. This pump waters all my vertical growing vegetables and recirculates back to the lined fish tank.

This is a well made pump that I feel will last much longer than the brands at the big box hardware stores. I am using this for pumping out boats at our marina after it rains, and for using river water to wash down our docks, and it is working quite well.

I had really good luck with this pump. It's fast and quiet - a good deal for the money. Be sure you read the instructions - it has a bypass port that spits out water continually while pumping (it apparently cools the pump) that seems like a leak, but isn't. I could have wished for a slightly longer cord for tasks like de-watering pool covers, but otherwise it works great. One thing not mentioned in the description - it has a metal plate that retains the cord in the pump body, as strain relief. I wouldn't swing it around like a kid's toy, but I'm confident it will hold up over time even lifting it by the cord a lot.

Used to clean tankless water heaters. Worked great. Probably has over 60hrs of operation on it since buying it and it still works great.

The Model 44 is a perfect match for pumping rain water from my twin coupled, 80 gallon rain barrels! As a fully submersible pump, I have suspended the pump two inches above the bottom of a barrel. This eliminates any clogging of the screen on the bottom of the pump. After manually timing the pump-out time for different full levels, I then safely connect the pump's electrical plug to an electric timer which pumps two soaker hoses in my vegetable and flower gardens. This continues until the water levels in the barrels are just above the two-inch mark. This protects the pump from damage due to a lack of water as well as limits the pumping time to 45 minutes max. I've used this system over six times this summer and have been very pleased with consistant results. The pump is not designed for lengthy usage. I recommend using the pump no longer than 30 minutes straight per couple of hours or more. It has served me well and the pump has not shown any decrease in performance thus far.
