This system works beautifully on dirty water and can pump a lot of water (although at low pressure) but the small 1" intake port can be blocked with leaves. The port needs to be small compared the chamber volume to maintain the vortex. The other problems are that the pump is very quiet so you can’t really tell if the intake port becomes clogged unless you look at the output hose (no water). The other problem is that the vortex is actually quite strong and it will suck itself to the bottom if the pump sits on a soft surface like a rubber mat (in spite of the feet). You can remove the bottom of the vortex chamber if the output port or the chamber becomes clogged although this is much less likely than the intake port becoming clogged. While the starting water level must be above the top of the output port for maximum flow, it will pump down to 3/8” and pass up to ½” material. I’m thinking some kind of stand might be used to keep away leaves and prevent the thing front sucking itself to the bottom although the pump down depth would increase. So far great improvement over standard submersible pump or centrifugal pump for that matter. This pump costs about 50% more than a standard submersible pump but works much better and is a name brand (Wayne). Other vortex pumps are much more expensive and largely meant for commercial use. The pump comes in three sizes although the price difference is not great so I bought the largest. Strongly recommended over standard submersible pump if you have dirty water. None better for the money.

Edit: August 2023. Pumps still workin great. Use it every year to pump 25 foot above ground pool down half way for winter. Also use as emergency sump if needed and pluged into float switch.
