FSP550C

Been working for me for many months. Good quality. Reliable. The outlet pipe froze solid and I was worried the pump trying to pump though a blocked pipe would knaker it - but no - its still going.

Works very efficiently. Clear instructions.

Works well , and a fair price.

I used the Veaton portable water pump to drain my Lay‑Z‑Spa, and it worked perfectly. Setup was really simple, and it started pumping water out almost instantly. It drained the whole tub much faster than I expected — a huge time-saver compared to doing it manually or waiting for gravity to do the job! The pump is compact but powerful, and it comes with everything you need (including hose and attachments). It handled the hot tub water with no issues at all. If you’ve got a hot tub and want a quick and easy way to drain it, I highly recommend this pump. It’s well worth the money and does exactly what it says.

Have only used it for short periods of time and is not left in situ to work automatically. Fairly quiet operation. It takes a short while to get up to full pumping power but once it gets there, it works well. The float switch is OK, but can be a bit fiddly.

Pump initially worked very well, until the end of the job when I discovered there was no check valve. As it didn't have a check valve as advertised, it got returned. If you don't need a check valve then this is a 5* pump, however if a check valve is important it's 1*. It seems I'm not the only reviewer to have received a pump missing the check valve so this does seem to be a misleading description.

A decent, powerful pump. Bough with the plan of using it in a sump pit - where the built-in float is much more suitable than the style that are out on a separate cable and could get caught against the side of the pit and have the pump run dry. So far, though, I've used it to clear water from some deep puddles after some very heavy rainfall, and it worked a treat, sucking water from quite low down, and shifting a good volume of water very quickly. The upright outlet is fine for a sump pit based setup, but can cause issues with hose positioning if you're just planning to sit it in a deep puddle and run flat disharge hose along the ground, as the hose will kink at the top - you'll need to either do something to help prop the hose to avoid that - hence the crate in one of my photos - or buy a screw-on 90 degree elbow outlet instead of the supplied vertical one.

Purchased this in June whilst the pump runs it is not pumping water through the hose. The pump will work without the hose but when I connect the hose nothing happens the pump just runs. Have purchased two hoses now and neither work so it is a fault with the pump. The first time they are connected they work then after that nothing, Very disappointed, waste of money I am afraid.
