Transfer pump

super job draining water to Winterize house for winter

Good, Just Not What We Needed

We needed to pump some water out of the crawl space and this wouldn't fit in the space, so we had to return it. But it looks useful for other purposes.

Great Product and Fast for a hand pump!

This week was the coldest that the Chicagoland has seen in 20plus years. I needed a pump to transfer Diesel Fuel into another truck. I went everywhere in my area and bought small pumps but it was to cold to use those. I landed at Lowes and stumbled across this pump i figured I didnt have much to lose at this point. All I have to say is I was impressed. The length of the pump and the hose were incrediable. I was able to drain the fuel and transfer it to another truck with honestly very little ef...

I tried this pump on my sump pump and it worked great! I took no time at all to pump several gallons of water.

Useful for my husband's job

Husband delivers fuel and when it rains water fills the connection opening - uses pump to insure no water gets in fuel

Works great once I discovered you need the cap on

Works great once I discovered you need the cap on. I have to admit I didn't figure that out by myself. After being unhappy that I couldn't get it to work I started reading reviews. Fortunately one of the reviewers was kind enough to inform us of that. I bet I wasn't the only one though that didn't figure that out myself.

Handles broke in 15 minutes, TWICE!

This pump has great potential. It pumps a large amount of water quickly. However, the T-handle snapped off after about 15 minutes. Lowes replaced the first pump with another when I explained what happened. Then the second pump's handle also broke off after about 10 minutes of use. I am a small woman and I was not using excessive force. I was able to continue the pumping job by gripping the shaft with rubber gloves, but a functioning handle would have made the job much easier.

Hand pump

Worked fine for 1 week then into 2nd week the plunger came apart. Lasted 2 weeks. Very disappointed.

Constant pumping required to transfer liquid. Wish it would hold a syphon after flow starts.

Compliments your upper body workout!

It works great! I needed something to move some scummy water out of a deep container and it pumped the water out along with debris that had accumulated in the water without any problem. I was afraid some other models which had smaller outlet tubes than the intake tube might end up with some of the debris getting caught, but I didn't have this problem. I also liked that the tube was longer (6.5 feet long) than some other models that I looked at so it could transfer the water over some other obs...

Works as advertised

Not much to it really. Simple to use and works as it should.
