Utility Pump, Prostormer 12V DC 350GPH Electric 1/10HP Mini Portable Water Transfer Pump with Water Hose Kit Great for Yard, Garden, Pool Draining

07/26/2022==========I got this pump to quickly drain my 60 gallon gas water heater for maintenance. It emptied it in 10-15 minutes. My water is pretty clean but I assembled a set with an inlet filter (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Y1JYQJZ) and the requisite hose fittings (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08G1V68BS). After draining the entire contents, there were barely any sediments or scale buildup in the filter, so it was an easy cleanup. I may put some lubricant in the pump inlet (I have some for the pressure washer) but it seems like it may not be necessary, given how clean it is.Just one note: while draining the water heater, the water flow was quite significant - like a faucet open fully. In the process, and especially as it neared the end, the hose on the inlet side started collapsing from the pressure differential. You way want to use a stiffer hose than the one included in the kit.Overall, I am very impressed at how well it works. I'll try to update the review after having used it more than once.

I took a chance on this little pump when two major storms dumped a lot of water on our pool cover. It really did the job. My only criticism is that the included pickup plate needed to be enclosed in a laundry delicates bag to prevent the takeup from being compromised. I added a couple of small stones to keep it at a deeper spot on the cover and it moved a lot of water in a relatively short time. I added a garden hose to its output and it sent the water right to the drain.

I use the pump to transfer water from rain barrels to watering containers. I was a little concerned when the mounting plate was bent upon opening the package. The metal is thin, so it was easy to get back into shape. The pump fills my half-dozen 5-gallon containers in about 5-7 minutes. Since I run the pump off of a battery, I turn it on and off by putting the clamp on the battery terminal. It would be nice if the unit had a switch so you don't need to deal with the sparks. I'll be adding an inline switch soon. I would buy this again.

The pump works exactly as described but It’s like watching grass grow. If you need a faster pump, keep scrolling.

The media could not be loaded. I hooked up the pump and it ran erratically with the RPMs going up and down. It stopped working after 20 seconds. I Removed the back plate and found that one of the brushes was retracted in it's housing. Turns out the brush spring was squished and broken. After replacing the spring with a spare from a different tool, it worked great. The motor now keeps constant RPM and pumps really well, albeit it's pretty loud. I converted mine to run off Ryobi 1+ batteries and used a PWM to control the voltage. I can now use the water from my kids' inflatable pool to water different parts of my yard instead of only where the pool drains out. I'd have given it 5 stars if I didn't have to repair a brand new item that only worked for 20 seconds.Revising my review. This thing has lasted a total of maybe 6 hours run time. Spend your money elsewhere.

Yes you would really like to have this little guy. Dam good piece of machinery. I love it so much I bought another one just for the fact I know I can depend on either one of them . I am a service technician and I know I made a good choice getting this guy. They are a beast. 47 gallons tank this guy suck it out so fast I couldn't believe it. The second one I haven't tried yet but I seen what it can do and I am impressed. Slightly different then my first one I bought the second one because of the floor level device that comes with it. Just what I need with the multiple different floods that happens around this dam place I work for. Get you one or two people.

First off they say it is self priming. Kind of, but they want you to pour water in the outlet first to lube the impeller. You have 15 seconds to get water flow or you will burn up the impeller. That worked. I guess each time you use it you could squirt a bunch of petroleum jelly in the inlet to get it started. It actually pumps too well. If you are working with a shallow pool it will pump the water surrounding the suction head down so low it starts sucking air. Now you just have foam coming out and you are worrying about the impeller wearing out. I think I will grind the head legs down so it sits lower. I guess in a deep pool it would work OK but slow. In a shallow pool it doesn't work well. It needs constant supervision. If I had some little water feature pump mabe the head could be useful. Plus the hose is so stiff it is going to pull the head of the floor. I had to put a brick on it. This really needs a smaller hose and pump. It is hardly worth $55.

I hooked up the little water pump and clipped it to a battery and it pumps fast!!I'm impressed with the way it's made, this size, how fast it pumps and over all, it's just a handy little pump!I think if you're looking for a good pump that you can take out to a water source hook it up to a 12v battery and pump water quickly you'll love this pump!
