Simer 2110 - Geyser Jr 6.5 GPM (3/4") Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump

We bought this pump three years ago to drain a 5' dia kiddie pool that we use as a pond for our ducks when we change their water every morning. It takes about 6 minutes when the pool is brim-full, just enough time to do the other feeding chores. Ducks are dirty, and there's always some organic fiber in the water -- not enough to plug up the impeller, but enough to clog the built in screen at the input hole, which I have removed. We also run the pump inside a "minnow bucket" covered with window screen to block larger detritus like feathers. The old one is still going strong after three years, but is being retired as a backup unit. We have not tried to push water uphill beyond the height of the wading pool side -- the drain hose runs DOWNhill from there. This pump is reliable and a perfect fit for our application.
