Alpine Corporation 3100GPH Hurricane Heavy-Duty Pump

When I first ordered this pump I was hoping it would help me when my basement floods. I mistakenly read the specs incorrectly as my basement doesn't get as much water as this pump needs to work properly. No big deal. As someone who always looks for multiple uses in items to get the most out of my money I realized that the pump will not only work for removing water from the pool to have the ideal level for maximum fun, I can also use this in the dog pool to shoot water out and make a great, fun activity for the dogs. The pump was super easy to hook up. It has a great shooting capacity that the dogs love running through, trying to catch the big water droplets. The pump is not too heavy, so you can maneuver it easily. I would recommend this pump for humans and dogs alike.

We have a place on our land where water will fill when we have a good rain. It's not a place we want want standing water. We need this spot as a crossing and have tried some other things but it's a difficult area. We decided to try a pump. So far it has really helped. With a few blocks strategically placed in the lowest area, we can run the pump and get across.

The 2100 Hurricane Pump is rated at 2100 gallons per hour and I believe it. It will pump water to a height of 13' 1" when using a 3/4 inch hose at the outlet of the pump at a rate of 444 GPH. The lower the height you pump the higher the flow rate. A column of water has more weight the taller the column of water. The pump will pump 2100 GPH if the you only pump the water to a height of 1 foot. The pump needs to be pumping water or it will over-heat and void the warranty, so do no run it dry. The pump, running, draws 1.2 amps, but the higher you pump the water the more power is required so the amps(current flow) will increase. When you take the pump out of the water it will drain completely which is a good thing especially in cold climates, which prevents any freezing and you do not harm the pump. I really like this pump. It takes up very little space.

This 2100 GPH Hurricane Pump has a 33-foot cord and is for underwater use only obviously. The Alpine Hurricane Pump has a 3-year warranty, oil-free magnetic-driven epoxy-protected ceramic impeller shafts, cost-saving energy-efficient operation and is for heavy duty waterfall or filter systems.

I use this Alpine pump when my pool's water level is too high. It takes the water level down quickly as it can pump 2100 gallons per hour. You hook up your hose to the outlet, and totally submerge the pump underwater. Plug it in and let it pump the water out. I was impressed with the water pressure as it pumps out. It makes the task of taking your water level down MUCH quicker! I took a photo with the pump on my pool step so you could see the pump and the amount of water being pumped out.
