Reader Reviews Needed something to pump water away from the house during a fast snowmelt. This unit works great! Not mentioned in the initial information received was that it would function as a siphon, too. It's not necessary to keep the pump running on its batteries. Place it in a bucket or old ice chest on a higher level than the end of a garden hose, run the pump for a minute or so, then shut it off. It will continue to siphon water until it loses suction. I put a valve between the pump's hose and the 15 ft. garden hose to regulate the flow of water, and it siphons all day. Hopefully, it will do so until all the snow melts and we can get the downspouts reconnected to the house gutters. It was expensive, but it appears to work well.
