Both in our garden, as well as in heavy rain in the cellar duct - this pump is up to their task, and comes with plenty of useful accessories! Particularly to praise - not continuously soiled sponge filter more, but easy to clean fine filter surfaces outside! This can even be removed, so that only the coarse filter surfaces act. The pump itself is very quiet in operation and delivers up to approximately 2mtr height. This is especially useful in my basement window shaft, because it increased the groundwater in the well can be pumped if necessary equal to the outside, instead of running in addition only on the lifter system. I am very very happy, and the price is also acceptable!
