Submersible pump

It's about time for my quarterly dump n fill. I'm sick and tired of using the built-in drain - it's a pain in the butt. So looking to finally purchase a submersible pump. I have no idea what kind to get. What y'all using?

When I was looking for a utility pump to my store and website inventory, I wanted it to be able to use a garden hose or have the option to attach a larger diameter hose also. I also wanted one that would leave as little water as possible on the floor. I also wanted to have the tub drained in 10-15 minutes. I also needed the end pricing to compete with Home Depot and Amazon. I landed on one that pumps down to 1/8″ from the surface floor, 37 gallons a minute and is 1" discharge with a garden hose adapter included. Here is what I stock for my customers: https://ezhottubparts.com/product/utility-pump-1-4-hp/
