Very happy with this pump.

The media could not be loaded. We had gone through a number of iron pumps and the leather seals. Neither last long in the subtropical Florida climate. About the time you need it, an iron pump needs torn apart and fixed.Looked around and found this gem. Stainless steel with rubber seals. It also costs less than a cast iron boat anchor pump. Rolled the dice to see if it was good.We added washers to the handle as other reviews recommend. Also took the time to degrease and deburr all the parts. This came right of an assembly line at a factory, so there were a lot of sharp edges that needed removed. For this price it was not a concern.Our pump came with a U.S. adapter (304 SS) that screwed into the bottom of the pump and adapts to 1 1/4 NPT pipe. The same as our check valve. We just used a 2' long pipe that was threaded on both ends.Overall we are very happy with this pump so far, and will be buying again.

Okay , stainless steel is great. Before you install this pump you need to use a really good deegreaser because it still will have oils on it from the manufacturing process so take it completely apart and wash it thoroughly inside and out ! Next, you'll want to buy some 5/16" x 1" stainless steel washers to take up all the space on the pumping arm where it mounts to the pump itself and to the pump suction cup arm. There's way to much play in everything and you'll want to buy about thirty washers depending on the thickness. Next , every bolting point inside and outside of the pump itself that uses a nut you'll want to buy new bolts that are about a 1/4" - 3/8" longer even the two really small ones that help hold the water suction cup on. And buy stainless neoprene locking hex nuts to match your bolts and buy four stainless neoprene lock nuts to go on both the top and bottom of the water cup Forked cup holder pumping arm that the cups mount directly too. Especially, you'll need to rap some Teflon tap on that screw that holds that weighted flat at the bottom of the pump. Don't forget to get a longer screw and neoprene lock nut that holds the weight to the flap at the bottom too ! You don't want anything falling off and going back down the water pipe !You will need to do all this before installing this pump so it'll take out all the loose wobbling and so your nuts and screws don't fall off and you have to take the pump off to fix everything right to hold up under all that pumping and suction motion. I know it's a pain but if you like the pump make it hold up. And don't forget to look at all the welds inside and out to make sure everything is melted and welded together with no holes or cracks for water to leak! I hope this helps .

I was pleasantly surprised the pump actually worked as expected. It went down to 20~25ft with the pump, and drew up water.You need to make sure you've got the top part of the pump filled with water to get the pump to start drawing water up. But, once you do that, and it starts pumping, it brings up quite a bit of water per pump.

The inner portion where the suction is happening has weld sticking out causing the rubber to get damaged with every pass. It would give this thing a month use before the rubber seal tares more resulting loss of suction. I’ll be returning it

Simple design that works as advertised. On advice of other reviewers I shimmed the pump handle with washers which worked fine.I opted for the stand and mounted it to a 24"x24" board I picked up (pre-cut) at Home Depot. While I was there I bought some brass reducers to neck the input down for use with a garden hose.I haven't used it yet in my actual well so I can't speak to it's ability to lift water from 20 or 25 feet but it certainly worked great pumping water out of my sink. Don't forget, pump has to be primed before each use. Just pour a little water (a cup or so) into the open top of the pump then start working the lever.Comes with extra leathers and flaps so rebuilding it when needed (simple to do) won't cost anything.

Fyi.. check ur size and bring the adapter to your local hardware store..not all PVC will fit.. it's a metric type..ur better off just purchasing an US standard measure screw 1in adapter at ur local store, like i did. But this pump works! Let me tell you!! ! I was not expecting it. It been in the elements alone for a while now..and it holds ! U can attach a hose clamp or a PVC clamp to the pump nozzle if u need to extend the spout.. I did.. I can now give my pets water at ground level. U won't be upset. Just remember..ur gonna need to buy the 1 inch pvc screw adapter if ur in the USA. The one it comes with..did not fit any known USA PVC diameter. But I like it. Compared to the ones on the market . No rust. No issues..strong..and HAS EXTRA seals..!! U won't be upset. Even the base mounting is solid with no breaks.

The pump works in the sense that pumps the water correctly, but when left outside it rusts in a couple of days , and the problem is that it is described as “stainless steel” ???
