1/2HP Cast Iron Transfer Pump

Purchased to transfer fresh water from water storage bladder, (looks like a small waterbed mattress) 60 gallons, into RV water tank dry camping. Works perfect, comes with everything shown in the picture. Using a 12v jump start box used to start my vehicle if having a dead battery. Works great, good quality, pumps lot of water in short time, cord is long enough to attach to car battery or jump box with on/off switch. Noise isn't an issue, I held a conversation while pumping water into RV

works well and easy to use. I got this to make things go quicker when flushing out my water heater. Mine is in the garage and I run a hose out into the driveway, so since the level of the hose is not much lower, the water doesn't come out fast. This fixes that. Just make sure you prime the pump with water before turning on, and shut it off before it goes completely dry, so you don't burn it out.

Works great, but draws a whopping 5.5 amps. My battery couldn’t take it.

I bought this pump for my appliance repair business to empty washing machines full of water (with clogged pumps).However, I also have some serious drainage problems on my property. Having a split level house, we get quite a bit of water in our lower level.I currently have about 75ft of hose running from the standing water (I. E. muddy ditch) to my pump. You want to 'prime' your pump before turning it on. So, I used my shop vac on the far end of the hose to first get water flowing and the siphon effect takes over.Once the water was flowing, I hooked up my pump and have been letting it run for about an hour at this point.There was a provided triangle inlet port provided, which I promptly lost or threw away.So, to keep the junk away from the inlet port, I made a small circle/pen out of a strip of hardware cloth fence, which I zip tied together.This approach works great to keep the leaves out.Im trying to keep an ear out to make sure I don't run the pump dry, but to move this amont of water, it will likely take hours.So far, 5 stars. Recommended.**Update**As it turns out, the ditch did not take hours to empty, but just over an hour of continually running.I, wearing hearing aids and unable to hear thunder, was trying to listen to the pump from a distance for a change in noise.It was my mother in law who asked if there was an animal dying outside. Luckily, I was able to put the pieces together that it was instead my pump which sounded like it was in self destruct mode running with close to no water going through it.I was able to quickly stop the pump and did not appear to damage it.Still a big thumbs up for this pump.Saved the day, this Christmas day.

Do not purchase this crab. It is incapable of pumping even a gallon of water. When I attempted to return the item by the specified due date, they refused to allow me to do so. UPS closes at 7 PM, and when I visited Staples, they would not permit me to modify the return location. This reflects very unappreciative business practices. It seems they are playing games to cause people to lose their money. This situation is utterly ridiculous.

WOrks as advertised. I have 2 rain barrels and I always get nervous in the winter that they will freeze and bust. I know you are supposed to empty them, but there was never sufficient water pressure to get the water where I needed it most in the damp fall weather. We are about to paint our house and I needed to empty them fast and the hoses were not long enough and the pressure to slow to get to my garden. Emptied both to where I needed them. I did have to go to Home Depot and buy a female female hose connector to connect to the rain barrel spigot. Only $3 so now I look forward to really taking full advantage of our rain water output in dry spells.

The unit is super loud, the housing gets pretty hot, but it does pump water. The pressure is a little weak too. I would equate it to about half the pressure of our house tap. Its barely enough to run a single sprinkler head. It does pump water though and you definitely know when its running.

It works. Had it for almost a year now....
