6699 submersible sump pump, stainless steel
Product description
When water collects in a sump pit, basement or pool, moving it out with a small basic pump can take time. This submersible model is rated to move up to 7,000 gallons per hour, with a stated lift of up to 30 ft.
Its adjustable float switch starts and stops the pump as the water level changes, so you don’t have to keep holding a control while it runs.
The housing combines 304 stainless steel with impact-resistant plastic. That gives you useful material detail, though it doesn’t make the pump suitable for every kind of liquid.
How to use it
The float switch is set to stop when water falls below 8 inches and start again when it rises above 24 inches. If you keep the float raised manually, the listed lowest water-suction level is 2 inches. That manual setting may suit a job where you want to draw water lower than the automatic shut-off point, but it means you’ll need to manage the pump rather than rely on its normal float cycle.
For a practical example, you could place it in a flooded basement sump pit and let the float handle repeated rises and falls in the water. The 16 ft power cord and stated 30 ft lift are worth weighing against where the water sits and where the pump needs to discharge. Four hose adapters are included, the product information notes that a wider outlet supports greater flow, but doesn’t specify the adapter sizes.
What matters more to you: automatic cycling, or getting the water level lower by managing the float yourself? This pump offers both approaches, with different levels of attention required.
Pros
The automatic float switch is useful for changing water levels, and the pump’s stated capacity makes it aimed at jobs such as draining pools, sump pits, ponds, reservoirs, flooded basements and flat roofs. Its higher, larger base is described as more stable, and it can pass solids up to 1.5 inches. A one-year warranty is also listed.
A specific limitation: it is not intended for corrosive or flammable liquids. Also, the automatic cycle stops at the stated 8-inch level, so it won’t by itself draw water down to the 2-inch minimum listed for manual float operation. Given its design, it makes more sense for water removal than for handling liquids with special chemical or fire risks.
It suits you if you need a submersible pump for occasional water removal and want float-controlled operation. It is not for you if the liquid is corrosive or flammable, or if you need automatic shut-off at the lower manual suction level. Compared with a more basic pump that requires hands-on switching, the float control is the main practical distinction, a more demanding installation may call for details about outlet sizing or operation that aren’t provided here.

What I’d consider
This is a plausible fit for moving water from a pool, sump pit or flooded area when automatic cycling is useful and the cord and lift suit the setup. The key trade-off is the float’s normal stop point: if you need to remove more water, the listing describes manual float operation rather than automatic control at that lower level. Choose it for water-removal jobs within those limits, look elsewhere for corrosive or flammable liquids, or if you need more specific hose-fit information before selecting a pump.
