Customer Reviews for Flotec Tempest 1/6 HP Water Removal Utility Pump

It stopped working within 10 minutes and I had to return it. I ended up purchasing a different one from a different vendor.

This pump is used to drain our pool cover, after a rain....performs very well, and in reasonably prompt time. Appears to be good quality construction, is very quiet. Happy with it.

Some pumps will run for 3 hrs a day for 3-4months and last up to 18months. Or a defective pump will only last 2 months with same usage.

Nice little pump and works very well to pump out the wast water collected on top of my swimming pool cover.

Had one of these for 20 years and wanted another

this pump worked perfectly for flush my tankless hot water heater.

Works great very easy to use

Really great pump. I borrowed from my neighbor then loved it so I bought one for me. He said his lasted 3 years. It's fast, easy and I love that it hooks to a hose instead of into a bucket that you then have to carry and dump. This is so much easier to drain my pond, pool etc. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it can be finicky sometimes. Meaning, as the water gets lower (but not empty) the pump will stop working . I'll move it around a bit and nothing. I'll have to unplug and plug in again. Then it starts right up. It solves it every time it's just a bit annoying. Other than that, great pump and great price. Would def buy again.

We bought this for our 24 ft round swimming pool cover for the winter water build up. One of the staff said he used it for his and it worked well. It took a while but it worked very well to the point that there are only leaves left on the cover. All water was pumped off. Great little pump for the price.

Bought this to remove water from my pool cover. Did the job, but took some time since I only used the hose attachment. Certainly has the power to pump more if attached a 1 /2 in backwash hose. Overall great pump for the price!

Works great so far. Only time will tell. I'm using it for a fountain in my pond. 3/4 inch pipe attached with a pvc cap on top with holes drilled into it for a nice spray pattern. Sprays about 4 plus feet in the air with the hole pattern I made. Cord could be longer but its long enough for me. I only run it from time to time but it say it could run continuous but who knows how long it would last.

Used it once to flush my boiler with vinegar. Flushed it with water, dried it out and packed it up for next use. No power on second use. Completely dead. The thing looks brand new! What garbage

this item did what it's supposed to do! :)

Works great and just the right size to drain our hottub!
