Wayn, the pump you purchase is a great pump, but it wan't last long. It is a rubber impeller pump and every time the pump stops and the water drains back, the impeller dries out and at start up it will chew up the impeller a bit. If you want to use this pump, get a check valve or a sea strainer with check valve built in. that will keep the pump wet and the impeller will last. The problem of course is if the check Valve gets a bit of dirt in, it will leak back and the pump will be dry again.
