19 customers mention0 positive19 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the water pump. They mention that the hose leaks with every pump, spilling water back into the flooded area. The hose does not seal with the pump, so you will lose at least 25% of each pump back to the pond. Customers also say that the pump only pulls water the last 1/3rd of the stroke.

"...It still leaks with the model I bought... right before it pops off lol...." Read more

Very brittle hose that easily cracks

Very brittle hose that easily cracks
The pump itself works very well, but within the first two weeks of use the hose developed cracks in the seams between the hose wires precisely where you see the sharp bend in the photo. Needless to say, the hose now leaks with every pump, spilling water back into the flooded area. Unfortunately, I missed the return deadline and now have a leaking pump. This was a total waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Farm Purchase Ever
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024
Size: Pump (24") w Hose (36")Verified Purchase
I originally got this to pump out the water that my pet ducks spill in the chicken coop literally everywhere every single day of their leisure filled lives. However, I found that I can use this in many ways in the farm! During the winter, my pipes outside freeze and I can't get fresh water to my farm animals... Until now! I filled a kiddie pool with fresh water before the temperature dropped and then pumped out fresh water underneath the ice all week! It was amazing. I also use this to pump out enough water from the horse water trough so I can easily dump it over to clean it. If it works this well for farm animals, I'm sure it'll work good on a boat. I wouldn't know since I don't have a boat. My animals took all my money so we don't have a boat. But this little pump was the best small investment ever. Well made and is holding up to daily farm use.

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023
Size: Pump (24") w Hose (36")Verified Purchase
This is a nice pump, displaces water fast. The only issue I have is the hose. It doesn't stay on. I can screw it in all the way, ensure it is tight and secure, but after around 3 or 4 pumps it just shoots off. I had originally selected the 72 inch hose, but I guess somehow when I checked out the 36 inch model made its way in my cart. This is slightly irritating because for less hose... I ended up paying 5 dollars more and the hose itself doesn't even stay on. Luckily, for my application I don't really have to have the hose... if I turn the spray a certain direction it just goes where I need it to go. Still, having a hose would be nice in the event I actually needed one. I would still buy it again, but if you need the hose... maybe look for one that doesn't have issues with the hose in the reviews. The product I bought seemed to say ' no leaks in the hose connection...' as if they had fixed the issue based on some of the reviews I read. It still leaks with the model I bought... right before it pops off lol. Outside of that the suction is great, I can empty a stock tank that is 2x4x4 in about ten min if I needed to just with this pump. Materials seem durable.

Size: Pump (24") w Hose (36")Verified Purchase
This works great!! Bought it to have as an inexpensive back up for a sump pump in case of a power failure. The battery back-up sump pumps are quite expensive, so this is great peace of mind to have at an inexpensive price. Tested it out in the bathtub and it moves quite a bit of water very easily.
Great item.
