Best pump for emptying a flooded hole?

So with the lovely rain we've been having, all my 450x1500m post holes are now overflowing. In total i need to pump out about 1600 litres of dirty water.

So my question would be, what type of pump would be suitable for this task? I was thinking of just grabbing one of those cheaper submersible pumps.

Hi @Nittus,

 

What a pickle! I'd recommend the Ozito 350W Dirty Water Submersible Water Pump. It has a 7000-litre-per-hour maximum flow rate, and I've used mine to empty a dirty pool several times. It works like a champ, and it should have those holes emptied in a short amount of time.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
