    Hi Busywes...

    It doesn't have to be cleared of water, but you will enjoy working on this a bit better if it has been pumped clear of dirty water...

    Can always take the new pump and connect it to a hose, drop it in the pit and then turn it on to pump the pit clean. I would do that at a minimum... ;)

    You would need a 2" x 3/4" black bushing and a 3/4" male x male hose fitting to connect a garden hose to the pump.

    Let us know if have more questions...
