Would this pump work to pump sludge and water out of a large area?

Answer
The Riverside DP3H should do a great job for you as long as you are not exceeding the rated specs. Specifically, the max suction and total head lift. These pumps are also not designed for pumping long distances. As such, I would not recommend pumping more than 50-75 feet total, horizontally.
