Yech. I had to drain a small swamp under a rental house when the
plumbing blew. I had a drill pump and never used it. The problem is
that they have no volumetric capacity. My guess is about 1/2 gallon
per minute at best. It also can't handle much of a head. Lifting
even a few gallons in a 3/4" garden hose up out of a pool is going to
take more than what a drill pump can supply. After about an hour of
dribbling water and endless clogging, I gave up, rented a proper trash
pump, and did the job in a few minutes. The drill pump went into the
recycling pile.


When my parents house cellar flooded, Dad tried a
drill pump he'd got from hardware store. Much the
same experience, no GMPM and no PSI to speak of.

Danny D could use drill pump to fill the trash can
or Rubbermaid where the trash pump is. Every now
and agint he trash pump would cycle.
