Title: Gets too hot; does not go down to 1/8 of an inch and gets vapor locked
Review: I bought this pump as I needed to empty out a sump in my backyard. The water level was pumped to 2 feet before I lowered this in to finish the job. The bottom of the sump is level, so I should have gotten to at least an inch of depth without trouble (as I've done this with another utility pump).After starting the pump, it worked great. Then it just stopped pumping. Unplugging it and trying again, it worked. Each time it seemed like it would vapor lock if the pump moved a little while it was running.Around 10 minutes later, it stopped pumping and there was still 4 inches of water left. The verticle lift required was around 8 feet.I gave up and pulled this pump out. I noticed a seal must have broken as I found some oily residue leaking out of the pump as well as steam coming from the left over water.Note: I give this 2 stars as it worked REALLY well with mud and my garden hose before switching to 1" PVC pipe.
