I'm writing this review because I could not find any other reviews on this or a similar product that spoke to the particular issue I was dealing with. Hopefully this helps someone else!

I bought this to drain about 6 inches of water from my retail store bought above ground pool. The drain plug in the pool unfortunately was up too high to completely empty it. I had to drain to remove algae and debris that had built up along the bottom that chemicals and the pools filter would not remove. This is not a permanent above ground pool mind you, it is one of the larger (5000 gallons) retail chain store pools.
At any rate, I needed to get all of the disgusting brown sludge water out of the bottom but I had a few concerns:
- Would this type of pump harm the pool? (i.e. suck up the bottom plastic liner)
A: No, not at all. I placed it directly on the plastic pool bottom.

- Would it be powerful enough to push the water up over the pool wall? (about 4ft)
A: Yes, very much so!

All you will most likely need to add to this product is a standard garden hose to drain the water and possibly an extension cord.
I hooked this up and about an hour and a half later many hundreds of gallons of disgusting water was gone. The water was coming out of the hose faster than it does my home faucet. Additionally, I got this shipped overnight (using Amazon Prime) for half of what a similar model would have cost at a DIY home store.

I couldn't find it anywhere but I think this is also made in the US which was another plus for me. If you need to drain your pond or pool quickly I think you will be really happy with this product.
