FOTING 3/4HP Sump Pump — 3500 GPH Thermoplastic Dirty Submersible Utility Pump with 16ft Cord

The FOTING 3/4HP dirty submersible sump pump is a portable, thermoplastic utility pump designed to move up to 3500 GPH and lift water as high as 28 feet for draining pools, ponds, basements and tanks.

This compact electric submersible pump combines high flow performance with corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction to tackle household and light-commercial dewatering tasks. It runs on standard 115V/60Hz power, includes a 16-foot cord for flexible placement, and accepts multiple hose sizes via the included adapters. Built-in thermal protection reduces motor damage risk, while a removable base and durable handle simplify maintenance and transport.

How much water can this pump move, and how high will it lift?

The FOTING submersible pump delivers strong flow rates and meaningful vertical lift for common draining jobs. Flow and lift vary with head height, so lower lifts yield maximum flow.

• Maximum flow: up to 3500 GPH (about 58 GPM) at low head.
• Maximum vertical lift: up to 28 feet (pump head).
• Typical performance: high output for pools, ponds, tanks and flooded areas.

Is this pump safe for debris and what solids can it handle?

This utility pump is engineered to handle small solids and particulates common in garden ponds and stormwater. It is not intended for corrosive or salty liquids, which will reduce component life.

• Solids handling: up to 1/5 inch (suitable for small pebbles, leaves, sediment).
• Debris filtration: integrated base screen filters larger matter while allowing good flow.
• Liquid restrictions: do not use with saltwater, acids, or strong chemicals.

What features make the pump easy to use and maintain?

Thoughtful design elements speed setup and extend service life for routine home use. The pump is manual-operation only—plug in to run, unplug to stop—so it’s simple and reliable for temporary dewatering tasks.

• Power cord: 16-foot length for flexible placement without extension cords.
• Removable bottom: quick access for cleaning trapped debris and prolonging pump life.
• Hose compatibility: NPT 1-1/2" discharge with supplied garden and size adapters for 1", 1-1/2" and 3/4" hoses.
• Durable build: thermoplastic housing resists corrosion and eases handling.

What protections and limitations should I know about?

The motor includes safeguards to prevent overheating and damage, but correct application and handling are essential for longevity. This model does not support automatic start/stop control—operate it manually and avoid dry running when possible.

• Thermal overload protection prevents motor burnout from excessive heat.
• Manual operation only: plug in to start, unplug to stop; no automatic float control included.
• Installation tip: submerge at an angle first to let trapped air escape before full operation.

Who is this for? Homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who need a rugged, portable solution for draining pools, ponds, spas, water tanks, window wells and minor basement flooding will find this FOTING pump useful. It’s best for applications requiring high flow and moderate lift where manual operation and easy maintenance matter. Avoid use with corrosive or saline liquids and choose this model when you want a durable, energy-conscious sump pump from an experienced manufacturer.
