Northern Industrial Submersible Pump,
October 19, 2009
By Littlered from Camden, Arkansas
"I bought this product on a whim because I needed to pump water out of flower beds. It has worked beautifully every time I've used it. The only thing I see wrong with it is it doesn't have a low level switch on it and will run even with no water to pump. That is my fault, I should have bought the one with the low level switch. It was (at that time) only $10 more and I should have opted to pay that! Yes, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a relatively inexpensive pump and doesn't mind watching for low water level."

Great as a wort chiller pump,

"I bought this pump to pump ice water through a wort chiller to cool down lager beer. It works great. It took 100 deg. wort down to 50 deg. in 10 min."

submersible pump,
March 18, 2009
"I ordered this pump to drain a 20,000 gallon swimming pool and it has performed flawlessly for me. I also use it to drain my hot tub. With the poly hose I purchased also, it can discharge to 25 feet and additional hose can be coupled together for longer discharge distances. A very good pump!"

"The pump really puts out as advertized and will drain down to 1/4" BUT not intended for long term submersion (ok for a few hours at a time but that's all). Great for draining a shallow pond (2 or 3 feet), but as an emergency replacement for a pond/pool filter pump it will fail. The seal failed and I replaced it, but it quickly started to leak into the moter again and blow a GFI plug."

"A great pump. We use it to drain our yard when it floods. Handles mud and yard debris well, only occasionally requiring a shake clear it out and get it pumping again."

Great pump for the money.,
November 19, 2008
By JamesPG37 from SUFFOLK COUNTY,NEW YORK
"I had searched for a pump to remove water from my inground swimming pool cover. I didn't want to pay over $75.00 and needed it to be efficient because during the winter months it is not always possible to use.I found this pump to be very efficient and the cost was reasonable."

Excellent recirculating pump,
November 18, 2008
By TimE30 from San Diego, CA
"I use this pump to recirculate ice water through a copper heat exchanger, chilling newly made beer before I ferment it. This pump works extremely well and allows me to save gallons of water and speed up the brewing day. It has held up extremely well over the last 2 years and I expect it to give me many more years, and many batches of beer, of great service."

Northern Industrial Submersible Pump,
November 17, 2008
By Tomdan from Fairfax Station, Virginia
"These are great pumps; you cannot beat them for the price. One good feature is that you can screw a standard garden hose onto the pump. I bought one pump to empty the water from our swimming pool cover and I liked the pump so well I bought another one to pump out fountain basins when I clean them out in the spring. This little pump was also a great help when I was putting in a garden pond and it kept raining. With this little pump, I was able to keep out all the unwanted rain water out of my excavation site. Thank you Northern Tool!"

Poor Quality Construction,
August 21, 2008
By Cottro from Connecticut
"I purchased 2 of these pumps. In both cases the bottom screen cracked and pieces fell off - causing the pump to easily clog. If this part was better made these would have been an excellent buy - but with a broken bottom screen they are only good for picking up clear water."

Submersible Pump - 1/8 HP,
August 15, 2008
By clance from Ruidoso, NM
"I have a cistern water supply system for my primary residence. Once or twice a year I may have to haul water to keep the system operational. I do this with a 220 gallon tank in the back of an old suburban. It takes 10 minutes to fill the tank at an artesian well. Because the storage tanks are under the house I have to back the suburban over rocks and around trees to get as close as I can. I use a 3/4 inch garden hose and gravity to empty the tank. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes. With this pump I use the same hose and park the suburban in the driveway. It takes 15 minutes to empty the tank. It makes life a little easier. The pump works as advertized."
