1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  I have twice had to pump water out of my basement after a rain, up through a regular garden hose about 8' and out to a flat yard about 50'. This pump has plenty of power and does the job quickly, so I believe it would do your job equally well. Recommended.

                                    A:  Yes, but some metal parts will be corroded. Unfortunately they do not use stainless steel for metal parts, and those parts get corrosion in sweet water as well.
