So I use this for three main things:1) Moving irrigation water to areas that aren't already set up that way.2) Moving water out of areas where it tends to stand3) Emptying out large permanent water troughs that don't have another way to drain and clean them.This thing is very powerful, and works well even in the kinds of situations I have. I'm dealing with water that has plants in it, mud, algae, dirt, sand, etc. This pump holds up like a champ. It moves water fast. Like FAST. It's impressive! The irrigation setup is old, and some of the valves no longer work. Having the ability to move the water with this pump is terrific. I don't have to have wasted acreage.Very happy with this, five big stars!
