trying to drain pull will it get leaves and debris too?

I'm thinking it should handle some debris but an amount of leaves could clog it up and it would need to be cleared. I've pumped out pools a bunch of times but never had to deal with too many leaves. It does a great job.

Yes, but not huge Leaves. Make sure you use a sufficient diameter outlet hose. A 1 1/2 inch hose is best. I occasionally pull up the pump to check for debris around the intake and clear out leaves in the sump.

No, It's designed for clear water like a swimming pool. What you are looking for is called a Trash Pump. You can use it in mildy dirty water but you need to put it in a bucket to strain the debris.

I can say that my 26 HP Craftsman GT pulls it with a cement filled Cement block. I do not know how it works I am thinking raking leaves. I just used my 54 inch mower and blow they into a pile all chopped up. The The Brinly seems to be well made and easy to put together if U follow directions

It will pick up dirt, loose pebbles, and leaves. I have been very pleased with it.

It will suck up a bit of sludge, but I would recommend, for longevity purpose, to try and avoid that situation. The more water in the mixture, the better results. Cleaning the pump area afterwards is recommended. The pump comes with a netting, so leaves wont pass through. I wouldn't suck up leaves, the pump chamber would most likely seize.

Look into buying hardware cloth (a heavy duty mesh) at the local home improvement or farm supply store. I would attach inside the gutter at each downspout opening so nothing can climb up inside the downspout and access the gutter and roof, but still lets any water drain out. Keep the gutters maintained so leaves, etc. don't block the downspout opening.

I don't use the hose drain feature, but ti is pretty obvious that there is a blockage... probably just general household dust debris blocking either the drian hole or the hose.

This thing is amazing, in seeing how it works I would think that you should be able to drain both of those. One thing I can say though is plan on spending some time on it, it isn't as fast as it claims to be.

It will pick up small leaves but I think if there are going to be a lot of leaves you would have to pull it out and clear the filter now and then. The filter is a pull out tray so it's easy to do. I find the SharkVac does not alway pick up heavier items that might be sitting on the bottom however, so I usually go after those with the net.

Not if you use the holding tank. If draining it directly into a drain, yeah.

Yes. I have the exact same thing happening here in Pennsylvania and you can vacuum the leaves only and leave the mulch pretty much in place.

Hi This is Steve at Aqua Products, This unit is indeed designed to vacuum debris including leaves, loose algae and sand. Be sure to empty the bag often. Note: Some stubborn debris that sticks to the bottom may benefit from units that Scrub or those that have Power Washing Jets - these help loosen that debris and vacuum it up more efficiently. If you would like more information please reach out to me at sferry@aquaproducts.com

No I have not observed any leaf debris clog issues with the OATEY diverter. It works as advertised.

The only debris screen that came with the one that I bought, screws on the suction end of the hose to keep out rocks etc. So the answer is yes. This pump has been working great for me transferring rain water to different holding tanks. One thing to remember is that in order to get the suction going you need to fill the pump removing the plug on the top with a crescent wrench and then tightening again. I found out if I leave the pump with water in it until the next use it stars to rust the inside of the pump thus shooting out rusty water on your next use. to make the pump last longer empty and leave the top plug out so it can dry. Water+Iron=Rust. It has been a great pump for me with plenty of pressure.

It helps to have the drain pull, but the unit has a latex covered strap that helps it stay in place - you should be ok, just don't let your baby pull on it, which they love doing btw

Yes, it will pick up small amounts of leaves; this a feature I like since we have a number of trees on or behind our property.
