Ratings & Reviews for Project Source 1-Gallon Plastic Transfer pump

Broken with 1st use

Right out of the box, it would not pump water or catch a prime. Gar

I does not work

Needed to pump water out from around my water meter. After pumping 50 or so time I only got a coffee cup full of water. Junk. I am returning.

Useful tool for home, garden, and canoe

The pump works well, but care must be exercised so as not to bend the pump shaft when it is withdrawn from the pump body completely. The manufacturer would do well to supply a clip or some other means to secure the pump body to the side of the container or vessel to be emptied. The discharge force requires either holding on to the hose end or using a hose clamp to secure the discharge end. I am using the unit to move water around a straw-bale gardening project, and it works quickly and without m...

Finally figured it out.

Like many other reviewers of this pump I was frustrated with it and about to take it back until I discovered that you use it with the cap on not off. The cap appears solid but it is actually perforated. The instructions say remove the cap for cleaning but it is all too easy to overlook that and assume the cap comes off for pumping. It worked satisfactorily after I put the cap back on it.

Plastic Transfer Pump

Very compact and easy to use. I like the amount of water that is expelled with each pull. The pump seems to be durable for normal around the house usage like cleaning sediment out of the spa and hard to reach areas in the pool. Wish it had small fold down stand-off base so pump would be easier to hold in place while suctioning with the other hand. My spa is a bit deeper than the pump is actually built for but it does work well under water as long as the outflow is not impeded. Is there enough d...

Great Product!!

This is ONE OF THE BEST purchases I have ever made. Easy to use and clean. Does a wonderful job. A friend saw it and requested I sell it to him and get another. I bought two more.

Great Pump

This pump worked well, no issues at all. I'm glad I purchased it when I did.

Pricey for what you get

It does work but with very low volume. A lot of pumping for low water removal. Also somewhat cheaply made. I don't expect it to last very long. If I hadn't been under time restraints I would have shopped around for better quality and function. I would have returned it if I hadn't actually used it.

Did not work.

Did not work at all. Returned and bought a different brand that works well.

Product didn't work for me

I tried every which way to use this pump, and failed miserably. It looks like you should just put the end of the pipe in the water, pull the handle, and water should suck up and out through the hose. But it didn't. Maybe I'm the problem, I just don't know. At any rate, after trying it several times I gave up and ended up returning it to the store. At about $30 it should have worked magnificently.

Works great

Bought pump to empty a broken washing machine. Made very fast work of draining it.

It works

It's a portable hand pump and it pumps water. It does what it is supposed tt.

Works great! Moves water quickly!

We had a power failure and needed to pump out standing water from a crawl space mechanical area, where the sump pump normally works with the power on. This pump is great! We pumped the water into a 5 gallon bucket and removed the water until the power came back on. It does exactly what it is designed to do: remove liquid quickly, end of story. Saved me from ruining my hvac system and gas water heater. Well worth the $ 30.00.

Junk

I bought this pump to siphon water from around my meter. I did a lot of arm work with no results. It would draw water into the main tube but would not force it out of the hose. I had better results with a small bucket. I took it back. Not worth your money or time.

Well Worth The Price!

After researching for a handpump to purchase to empty a few fish tanks I have around the house, I purchased this handpump in store. After getting home, I used the pump on 4 of my fish tanks and it worked perfectly! No leaks or additional mess that I am used to cleaning up from other hand pumps out there. Also, the suction was phenomenal compared to previous experiences with other manual pumps. I would recommend this handpump to anyone who has had a bad experience with a leaking, poor suction, or...

WORKS GREAT !

I recently had to pump the water out of my bath tub [ the tub drain was clogged and the water would not drain ] . So I went to Lowes and purchased a corson /trusco hand pump. The pump worked great and the length of the hose was perfect to pump the water into the toilet located next to the tub. The pump helped me to drain my tub fast , so I could add some Drano to clean out the drain . If you need to pump a lot of water fast , I would recommend you buy this pump .

junk

Tried to pump old gas out of generator. It was a great deltoid workout, but that was all it was good for.

Works Great.

I bought this pump to fill a 55 gl barrel we use to water plants in the front part of our 2.3 acre yard. It filled it in no time. Worked like a charm. Make sure you drain it well by holding upside down when you are finished.

Doesn't work!

I tried pump out water from a fence post hole and nothing. I tried to pump water out of a pool and again nothing. Maybe it is me but I am going to take this back. Very unhappy with this pump!
