Review: The Little Pump That Could - I purchased this pump for use in my home construction area that is prone to flooding. Description: I won't rewrite the manufacturers description, but would like to note the very durable impact resistant case, and the highly stable, upright position of the pump due to the wide base and low center of gravity. Put to the Test: I've used this pump outdoors on more than twenty occasions, twice having continuous pumping for over 36 hours. My home expansion construction site floods during heavy rain from soil and roof runoff, and every time I have successfully removed about 99% the water with the Geyser II. Sometimes the water was quite full of silt and plant debris, but the pump never stopped working. (I took another reviewer's suggestion to drill holes in a plastic 5 gallon bucket. This worked nicely to limit leaf debris from clogging the pump base.) Specification: Curious about the 1260 GPH spec, and also interested in calculating how much water I had pumped, I performed a calibration of the pump under typical conditions at my site. I placed the pump in the aforementioned hole riddled bucket with the pump base submerged approximately 16 inches. I had 2 x 50' lengths of 3/4 hose connected to the outlet with approximately 3 1/2 feet of rise from the pump base to the hose outlet. The pump was connected to power with a 12 gauge 25' outdoor extension cord. I also did a quick calibration of the bucket to confirm 5 gallons to be very near the top of the bucket. I timed 5 gallons fill 3 times, with an average of 46 seconds. This calculates to 9.6 secs/gallon or 375 GPH. This is substantially less than the advertised pump rate, so keep in mind 2 factors that will affect your results: water head height and pipe back pressure. So to improve your pump performance, if possible, decrease the height the water is pumped and decrease the pipe back pressure by shortening the length of effluent hose or by increasing its diameter. By my calibration, I can roughly calculate the Geyser II pumped 13,500 gallons in the 36 hour stretch. Quite impressive I think. Important note: I've read other reviewers describe running the pump dry for extended period. When I did this, perhaps for an hour or so after the pump evacuated all the water from the site, I noticed the cord and plug got quite hot. I'm not sure if the cord is underrated for the amount of current when pumping dry, but I suggest users pay attention to this if they pump dry. Conclusion: I am very pleased with this pump's performance, despite my conditions not resulting in the advertised pump rate. I think the manufacture must have used the most ideal conditions to arrive at the 1260 GPH rate; perhaps measured with NO effluent hose, and pump submerged to the level of outlet. But, in my opinion, that is not really a realistic operating condition. Cheers! Review: Wonderful Pump - This was a great a pump. I bought it to pump about 2.5 feet of water from a leaky cellar that was quickly filling my yard with mosquitos. I had it pumped in about 1.5 hours. Love that hose adapter. Don't buy the discharge hoses unless you need it pumped very rapidly. The garden hose works just fine. Cons: I don't like that it didn't have an auto off. I had to watch over it to make sure it didn't airlock and burn up. Took more time than I really wanted to spend doing that and if I had it to do over I would find one that did. I still have some water in the cellar and I'm going to buy a shop vac and vacuum the rest up and place the pump inside of the shop vac to discharge the water because it would be too heavy for me to carry up the cellar steps. The cord is longer than most cords but I found myself wishing it were longer because I have a hard time keeping the extension cord I use with it out of the water in the cellar. Other than that, I have been greatly pleased. You will also notice there is a second model similar to this one but it is blue and twice the price. I called the company that makes this and they told me they are exactly the same, with the only difference being that the higher priced pump has a two year warranty where this one has a one year warranty. ## Features - Geyser II Utility Pump ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009XB7M8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #675,294 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #342 in Utility Pumps #708 in Sump Pumps | | Brand | Flotec | | Brand Name | Flotec | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 403 Reviews | | Flow Rate | 21 gpm | | Horsepower | 0.25 hp | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Type Name | Submersible Utility Pump | | Item Weight | 4.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Simer | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2305 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturer | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 2305 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Style | Submersible | | Specific Uses For Product | gardening, filling pots, construction, emergencies | | Style | Submersible | | UPC | 017561515041 | | Voltage | 115 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Flotec - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Submersible - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Item Weight:** 4.5 Pounds - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 21 Gallons Per Minute - **Voltage:** 115 Volts - **Horsepower:** 0.25 Horsepower - **Manufacturer:** Simer ## Images ![Simer 2305-04 Geyser II 1/4 HP Submersible Utility Pump , Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713hrszfBAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Little Pump That Could *by T***. on December 26, 2009* I purchased this pump for use in my home construction area that is prone to flooding.

It maintained good pressure for the 45 minutes I ran it. It did start to heat up the vinegar quite a bit after that amount of time, but I don't think it was a problem. I would recommend this pump to anyone needing a utility pump for small jobs like this. I haven't tried to pump out a hot tub or anything else, so I can't say if it would be good for this purpose or not. I should mention I used the adapter and a laundry hose when flushing my tankless heater. The pump was situated about 3 - 4 feet below my tankless heater. Now this is the 2nd pump I received from Amazon. The first one came and was missing the adapter and appeared to be used. I immediately told Amazon about it and they shipped me a new one in 3 days, and sent me a postage paid return label so I could just drop the old one off at the post office. They also offered me a sincere apology. I had over a month to return the old one (before they would charge me for it). I thought the service I received by Amazon was excellent, and would highly recommend them for any product you wish to order. ## Frequently Bought Together - Simer 2305-04 Geyser II 1/4 HP Submersible Utility Pump , Black - BACOENG Auto ON/OFF Stainless Steel Water Pressure Booster Pump w/Smart Controller for Tankless Water Supply Pressurization - GESHATEN 3/4” GHT Male x 1” NPT Female Connector, Brass Garden Hose Fitting, Adapter, Industrial Metal Brass Garden Hose to Pipe Fittings Connect (2 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8767966-simer-2305-04-geyser-ii-1-4-hp-submersible-utility](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8767966-simer-2305-04-geyser-ii-1-4-hp-submersible-utility) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
