Project Ideas

Business

24/7 Emergency Water Removal

Offer rapid-response basement/crawlspace dewatering. Equip vans with this 1 HP sump pump, 50–150 ft of 1-1/2–2 in discharge hose, check valves, and a portable generator. The pump’s 100 GPM at 10 ft and 34 ft lift lets you discharge up stairwells or to street gutters. Market fixed-rate first-hour extraction with moisture mapping upsells (drying, sanitization). The float switch enables safer unattended pumping while you set containment and extractors.


Sump System Upgrade & Maintenance Plans

Sell turnkey sump basin installs and retrofits: properly sized basins, backflow prevention, battery backups, and high-flow pump swaps. Emphasize the CSA/SSPMA certification and 10-year limited warranty. Offer annual service plans (check valves, switch testing, debris cleaning, alarm install), and tiered packages (primary + redundancy pump) for finished basements.


Pond/Water Feature Cleanout Service

Provide spring/fall cleanouts for ponds, fountains, and water gardens. The pump’s 1/2 in solids handling moves leaf-laden, mucky water fast; bottom-suction pulls basins down to a thin layer for netting sludge. Bundle services: fish-safe holding tanks with aeration, filter media refresh, pressure wash, and refills treated with dechlorinator. Charge by pond volume with add-ons for muck hauling.


Construction Site Dewatering & Filtration

Serve small contractors with on-demand pit and trench dewatering. Pair the pump with sediment filter bags or portable settling tanks to meet SWPPP requirements. The 34 ft head allows uphill discharge to containment, and the rugged cast iron/stainless build tolerates abrasive conditions. Offer day/week rentals or turnkey service with delivery, setup, monitoring, and reporting.


Event and Venue Water Management

Specialize in fast removal of standing water before/after outdoor events, festivals, and sports. Deploy multiple pumps for turf-saving dewatering after storms, emptying tent ballast barrels, or clearing flooded walkways. Sell pre-event standby packages (on-call with SLA), and bundle with matting, squeegee crews, and portable power. High GPM and float automation reduce labor during overnight operations.

Creative

Pondless Waterfall and Creek Loop

Build a recirculating backyard stream that terminates in a hidden gravel basin. The 1 HP pump can push 100+ GPM up to a small falls or boulder weir, creating convincing flow and sound. Use the tethered piggy-back float switch to protect the pump from running dry in hot weather, and the 34 ft max lift to route the discharge up terrain or to a raised spillway. The bottom-suction intake helps keep the basin nearly empty when servicing, and the 1/2 in solids handling tolerates small debris that slips past your intake screen.


Rain-Capture Water Wall

Plumb a rain barrel or cistern to a vertical water wall panel for a dramatic, eco-themed feature. The pump activates automatically via the float when the cistern is above a set height, turning excess rain into a cascading display. The 2 in discharge with included 1-1/2 in adapter lets you throttle flow for gentle sheets or vigorous torrents. Stainless/cast iron construction stands up to outdoor conditions; add a leaf basket and serviceable intake screen for low maintenance.


DIY Gravel Washer & Sluice Bench

Create a recirculating wash table for cleaning rocks, shells, or beach glass, or for hobby sluicing. The cast iron vortex impeller handles up to 1/2 in solids, so fines and grit won’t stall the pump. Build a settling trough with removable filter bags; route the 100 GPM output across a riffled sluice or perforated wash tray. Use the float switch to shut off flow as the reservoir drops, protecting the motor during long sessions.


Slip-N-Slide/Skim Lane Recirculator

Set up a summer slip-n-slide or short skimboard lane with a closed-loop water feed. The pump’s high flow can create a continuous sheet of water down a 20–40 ft run. Bottom suction allows shallow reservoir operation, and the integral handle makes it easy to move the pump for different layouts. Add a Y-splitter and valves to tune flow to multiple spray bars.


Backyard Ice Rink Flooder

In winter, use the pump to flood and resurface a backyard rink from a stock tank or rain barrel. The 34 ft head lets you push water uphill to the rink from a garage or lower yard. Bottom suction helps drain the tank nearly dry for lighter refills, and the high GPM delivers smooth, fast flooding between skates.
