About Aquastrong
AQUASTRONG builds water pumps across a wide range of residential categories, from basement sump and sewage pumps to pool equipment, well and irrigation pumps, and HVAC condensate pumps. The catalog spans horsepower tiers from a light-duty 1/4 HP up to a heavy-duty 1 HP, with construction options in plastic, cast iron, and stainless steel so buyers can match housing material to how hard a given pump will work.
On the sump side, the lineup includes models like the ESU100PM (1 HP, 4,500 GPH) and the stainless-steel SES075V (3/4 HP, 4,890 GPH), built around automatic float-switch activation and lift ratings up to 25-30 feet. Products ship with a two-year warranty, extendable to a third year with registration. It is a newer name next to century-old pump makers, and our own testing found its review history thinner than the established brands in this category — but the corrosion-resistant construction and step-up capacity at a mid-range price make it a legitimate option for a value-conscious buyer.

Aquastrong products we feature
AQUASTRONG Stainless Steel Submersible Sump Pump (1/2 HP)
A genuine step up from a 1/3 HP entry pump without cast-iron pricing — a corrosion-resistant stainless-and-thermoplastic build, 3,450 GPH flow, and a 25-foot lift. The adjustable vertical float with a piggy-back plug and top-suction anti-airlock design are features usually reserved for pricier pumps.
