QUICK pump!
I got this pump to fill up kiddie splash pools and ball pits.
It's doing a great job at it!
This pump really IS quick. Filling up a BIG splash pool ("sun shade pool") takes only a few minutes with NO effort.
The reason why it didn't get 5 stars is:
- the power cord is too short...
- the connection between the hose and the nozzle that goes into the inflatable toy keeps on coming undone while inflating which is pretty annoying. I have to hold it tightly the whole time it is in use.
Other that that this is a great value! You can't beat $30 for a pump that inflates that quickly and is reliable too (no batteries to charge or anything - just plug it in!)

Works great as a pump or siphon
Needed something to pump water away from the house during a fast snowmelt. This unit works great! Not mentioned in the initial information received was that it would function as a siphon too. It's not necessary to keep the pump running on its batteries. Place it in a bucket or old ice chest on a higher level than the end of a garden hose run the pump for a minute or so then shut it off. It will continue to siphon water until it loses suction. I put a valve between the pump's hose and the 15 ft. garden hose to regulate the flow of water and it siphons all day. Hopefully it will do so until all the snow melts and we can get the downspouts reconnected to the house gutters. It was expensive but it appears to work well.

Pool cover pump worksThis pump is excellent removes water quickly and the special wide base allows it to sit on the cover without tipping. It can double as a hot tub pump with a different baseand can even be thrown into the swimming pool to reduce its level.
