Great Pump
This pump is excellent. It worked from the first time it plugged in. It is quiet. The cistern it is in is slightly uphill of the discharge, so it has a lot of pressure and volume. It is more than enough for a family of 6 with 3 bathrooms. I plumbed it into 1" PVC Sch. 40. It does need tied up, i had to put in a threaded eye bolt and hang it 1/2" off the bottom as it can tip over. I used 1" fiber reinforced vinyl hose to go from the pump discharge to a bulkhead fitting. Martin Mahan on 9th Apr 2018

great plug and play pump, but it floats
I installed this pump inside a 1,000 gal above-ground metal rain cistern, and it works beautifully. So nice to spend a day cleaning out a cistern, installing a system of electrical supply, and plumbing a pump to the outlet, to find it all works on the first try. Yay! And it really creates great water pressure. I have it linked to a 1” outlet, and when I tested water pressure with a hose, it shot out 15’ easily with no nozzle.
My only complaint/concern is that it tipped over and floated as soon as it turned on. We end up tying a line from the top handle of the pump to the top of the cistern to keep it upright. I wish I could attach it to a weighted donut at the bottom. It didn’t seem smart to let it roll and float around. elaine adams on 5th Mar 2018 -
Excellent product
I can't say enough about this pump. I plumbed it into my water system, plugged into 110VAC and it works as advertised - great. No more pressure tank, no more pressure switch and no more clogged filters with the floating suction. Fantastic product
