Does anyone have one? The price isn't anything to write home about, nor is the max flow. However, the duty cycle, if it turns out to be continuous, could make this worthwhile. The psi isn't horrible either. Thoughts?

40m of head ....phewww..... don't know if they'd cope with solids...

800w... bit of a bummer in terms of power consumption if it's continuous... not a bad price though....

But as a sump pump in my mega system .... using a high/low piggy back float
