Superior Pump 92395 2100 GPH Heavy Duty Pool Cover Pump - Automatic Water Removal for Above Ground & Inground Pools, Hot Tubs, and Winter Pool Covers

We started to get water pooling up near the house during heavy rains, coming up to the door threshold in worst rain last winter. (I think our patio drainage system is gradually clogging up.) I went with the Superior pump because it switches on when the water reaches a certain level, then switches off when the water goes down. In our case, there is a low spot that the water fills up first, so we don't reach flooding before the pump starts. The pump comes on when the water gets deep enough, then continues pumping as the rainwater continues to gather. It pumps really fast, so sometimes shuts off during the rainstorm. But it always switches on when water reachers the specific activation depth. The hose connection fitting was just fine, and our standard garden hose carries the water to our driveway and then down to the street. We have had numerous heavy rains in December and each time the pump performed perfectly. We don't have a lot of leaves, so I can't comment on clogging. This unit was priced on the higher end, but totally worth the price for our situation. It is sold as a pool cover pump, and obviously we are using it for a different case of rainwater removal, but I think it would do an excellent job for a pool cover as well.
