1 / 76699 SUB 6000 Submersible Sump Pump, 1.5 hp
The 6699 SUB 6000 is a corded submersible sump pump listed with automatic float-switch operation and a 16-foot power cord. Its claimed high flow and lift figures suit water-removal jobs, but the flow rate is a maximum listing claim, not a guarantee of output at every pumping height.
At a glance
- Float switch is described as cycling the pump off below 8 inches and restarting above 24 inches.
- The listing claims a maximum flow of 100 gpm and a maximum lift of 30 feet.
- Four hose adapters are listed, with the outlet size guidance to use a wider outlet for greater flow.
- The listing describes use for pools, sump pits, cellars, reservoirs, flooded basements and flat roofs.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Automatic float-switch cycling is intended to reduce the need to start and stop the pump manually during changing water levels.
- A 16-foot cord and four hose adapters are listed, offering some flexibility for placement and hose selection.
Cons
- The float-switch thresholds mean automatic pumping is not stated to begin until water rises above 24 inches, so it may not suit shallow-water removal without manual float positioning.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives a 6000 GPH maximum in the title and feature text, while the specification table states 100 gpm, which converts to 6000 GPH. It also gives differing low-water details: the float-switch text says below 8 inches to disconnect and claims 2 inches when manually holding the float up, while the specification lists a 6.5-inch lowest starting level and 2-inch lowest suction level. Treat these as listing claims and confirm the desired operating thresholds and flow at your pumping height before purchase. The pump is stated to be unsuitable for corrosive or flammable liquids.
