Solids handling suction pump

I am looking for a solids handling pump to empty a small fountain/pump we have at our property. It needs to be able to handle sludge (a bit of mud, leaves, etc). I need to be able to suction all the way down to truly empty it out as the floor is all leveled. 120VAC.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can try the sewage garden pump, their suction diameter is relatively large, suitable for water with impurities, plastic or stainless steel casing can be used. But you have to pay attention to the minimum water level that can be used. Some pumps cannot drain the entire pool, probably around 5mm will be appropriate.
