Tsurumi LB-480 - 62.4 GPM (2") Submersible Utility Pump

As hurricane Irene raced up the east coast and I was on vacation on the west coast I realized I was going to need a serious pump to empty the 3 feet of water we expected in the crawl space and another 1-2 feet we expected in the house. Fortunately, the water on the south shore of Long Island wasn't as bad as predicted and the water didn't hit my living space, but I a still had a 2600 square foot crawl space that was going to need to be emptied.

This pump is a serious pump. It’s very solid (heavy) and the two inch hose (not included and the 50 foot hose cost another $50 at my local hardware rental store) moves the water very quickly. The pump moved the water from the crawl space vertically 7 feet out of the crawl space and up and out of a window, into the street and there was no strain on the pump.

I needed the pump delivered in two days and even with the hurricane they delivered as promised. I am a cynical buyer - and I absolutely recommend this pump. This company delivered as promised.

We purchased this pump to drain an 11,500 gal pool with max depth of 6'. With a 2-inch discharge hose, the pump drained the pool nearly to theoretical time interval.

For the next drain, I will reconfigure the hose to take kinks out and improve discharge flow rate. Pump worked as anticipated, and I'm happy with my purchase.

Our street was flooded 18" & more for 2 weeks. I bought this small simple pump & it pumped out the street in one day. The last time we rented a 4 hp gas pump that was very noisy & you had to keep putting gas in it. The Tsurumi LB-480 took a little longer but the 2" hose was always completely full & it never stopped pumping. It almost payed for itself already & no more rentals.

This pump was a replacement for an old Tsurumi pump. The old pump was about 10 years old and had never been serviced.

Installed the new one and it has been running non stop for about 3 weeks. This seems to be a very high quality pump.

Use this pump to supply a pond. It is 75 ft across and 6 ft. deep only have to rut it 6 hours a day.
have had no problems very pleased with pump

We have used these pumps to replace much more expensive pumps and have been very pleaed with their performance. They are also very easy and fairly cheap to overhaul should they ever need to be.

The pump works great and I have been using it a lot. It pumps water into my pond and does a good job.

We use this pump to remove excess water from our concrete pool in the winter. It is so quiet, sometimes I have to check to be sure it is on. Runs continuously and well, is easy to use. Well built.

I use this pump in my 1/2 acre pond to power our landscaping waterfalls. It replaced the same model that I purchased about 7 years ago which ran 24/7 for about 7 years with no maintenance.

This pump works great so far.

We discovered that our sump pump went out over a month ago when we started getting water coming up through the basement cracks and the pit was overflowing.

We tried emptying the pit with a new sump pump but quickly realized we would be there all day and probably burn out the new pump.

So we got this Tsurumi pump, hooked up the 2" discharge hoses and let this puppy run, and run and run. This pump was great, it moved the water so much faster and it was super quite too. Well worth the money and I'd recommend this pump to anyone that needs to get water out of their house ASAP and you don't want to mess with a gas powered pump.

Huge life saver and time saver. We even got to enjoy a little bit of our Sunday thanks to this pump.

I own 2 of these pumps and I have used them numerous times under extreme flooding conditions here at my residence, and I can honestly tell you that I am impressed with this pump's durability. Very reliable and is a must have for anyone living in a flood prone area. This pump has proved to be worth it's weight in gold!
