Just ordered my third pump. Works great til it doesn’t.1st one burnt itself out trying to self prime and I was not around to notice.2nd one just quit. I was unplugging it at night to run a brooder heater for babies and when I plugged it back in one morning it just was dead.Only 3 months old too.***received new pump and discovered it was the plug! So I have a back up pump as long as cord holds out***3rd one otw.I’d like any suggestions for an alternative self priming pump.

I have a 55 gallon rain barrel that I put a small heater inside so that the water doesn't freeze in the winter. I've attached a washing machine hose from the barrel into a 1" pvc pipe that has nipples on them that my chickens drink from. The problem is on cold days, even with the heater in the barrel, the water in the 1" pvc pipe would freeze. This pump ensures that doesn't happen.I have it plugged into a temperature sensitive outlet. I have it set to turn on at 37F and turn off at 41F. It's constantly pulling the warm water in the barrel into the pipe and back into the barrel to be heated again. We've so far gone down as low as 9F with no issues. Now this is just the first year. Will it still work flawlessly 10 years from now? Let's see.

I use this pump in conjunction with a thermo cube to circulate water in our chicken gravity water system. When outdoor temps get below 35, the thermo cube turns this pump on to circulate the water and keep the water from freezing and busting pipes. This little pump is a work horse and time/energy saver. Temps have got down to the mid teens with no issues. I would definitely purchase this pump again.

I used it on a heat reclaimer for my wood stove. Made from a copper coil around the stove pipe to an old car radiator. Ran continuously l from November until March of 2023. Been running for 4 weeks so far this winter. Has held up to 230 degree temps.

The pump worked great for the first couple of weeks, and then it stopped working, you can hear it try to pump the water but it isn’t actually moving any water. In my setup, it’s only lifting about 6 feet and can’t even do that already, very disappointed. Of course I wasn’t able to get it set up right away so I can’t just return it

This is an awesome little pump! Don't let the 12 volts, and small size fool you.The 1/2--inch NPT male threads make this really versatile becauseFittings are readily available at most hardware stores.It comes with brass Fittings, O-rings, Teflon tape. And stainless steel hose clamps. Directions are simple.Since it's 12 volt DC, this would be a great circulation pump for a live well in a fishing boat.My purpose is for a circulation pump on a fluidized bed bioreactor, for my aquariums..I need additional flow to move the media further up the reactor, and. Create more turbulence.The pump is also submersible.The unit is sealed. The impeller design is really good. It's not the standard straight blade design, but curved. No doubt why its so powerful.I will definitely be purchasing several more.

If you are looking for a ready to go, light duty, pump that you can have work right out of the box, this is it. Getting it started is the hardest part, but once it starts it seems to have a good FLOW. They did state that it was non priming, so if you are going to complain about it shame on you. I am using it to pump aquarium water through a UV filter. Pushing about 4 foot of lift. Pump has been running and feels warm but not hot. I could not find a cheaper pump that has a in and out port, most are drop in pumps that have an out fitting only. How long it lasts will last under my work load will determine its value. Updated-- too bad so sad. Don't let it run dry, or the pump is done for.

Look, it works, but it's annoying as all get-out! It's difficult to get it primed. I've used it three times for my sous vide system. I feel that the gallons per minute is a little low. I'd rather have a pump that runs at 4 to 5 gpm. I'm not able to find a pump yet that's in my price range.I'm still planning to use it for a new sous vide design. I will replace it with a better pump.
