Pump for rainbarrels,
July 20, 2009
By RainbarrelMaker
"I ordered this pump to use with my rainbarrels. It works perfectly for this job. I had to simply added a 115 volt pigtail to the three leads as it is actually meant to be hard wired. With this pump, I am able to pump water uphill to my garden over 100' away with a rise of 20'. The pressure maintained is exactly the same as the flow from my home water supply. And since it is a demand pump, when not in use, it is not running. Plus if my barrels run dry, the pump will not be damaged. I strongly recommend this pump."

Great pump, hope to have it back from repair soon,
July 20, 2009
By light529
from West Virginia
"The Shurflo Industrial Pump worked far better than my first attempt with another make of pump. I used it every day to draw off excess water from an underground spring under my Koi Pond. The excess water would bubble out the pond liner displacing pond water, and look ugly. The water drawn out was clean as it was filtered by the fiber under-padding under the pond liner. However I was so disappointed when it stopped working after less than two months. I had to send it back to Shurflo for warranty consideration instead of Northern Tool as more than one month had passed from purchase date. The Shurflo representative said that the warranty was not based on my purchase date but on the date of manufacture stamped on the pump! I couldn't see where that date was. I sure hope they honor the warranty. It's only been five days since I sent it to them, so I can't tell yet about that."

Shurflo Industrial Pump,

By DukeK

"I purchased this pump for the water system in my cabin. It works great and has enough pressure to run the shower and kitchen sink at the same time. I would recommend this pump to anyone that needs an on demand pressure pump.

R O pump,

"A great little pump for a Reverse Osmosis water circuit. When placed in a separate closed RO water circuit it provides just the pressure boost to allow for quick fills."

Shurflo pump,
November 17, 2008
By lou65
from Alto, NM
"I have been collecting unfiltered rain water for flushing the toilets in our home. Had to do this to take some of the strain off the marginal well, which is our primary water source. The pump was plumbed to the toilet supply line via a T valve and shutoff valves. I can use normal house (well pump) pressure or the rain water via the Shurflo pump. With rain water in the tank, I just turn two valves, plug in the pump, and flush the toilets as normal, works great. The pressure switch in the pump senses the pressure drop when the toilet flushes, the pump kicks on and provides flow to refill the toilet tank, when the float valve in the tank closes the pressure builds back up, the pump shuts off. Couldn't work any better. I'm very pleased. One note, the pump does make some noise when operating. Try to mount it with some vibration damping from the houshold structure. I didn't at first, the first flush sent one of cats under the bed."

Reliable & Energy Efficient,
October 6, 2008
By NoyoPacific
from Mendocino, CA
"I use this pump to lift (suck) clear/clean water from a spring well located about 5' below the level of the pump. The water is then pumped uphill another 15' into a 2500 gallon storage tank. Although I operate the pump for extended periods, I didn't get the heat sink for the motor. Instead, I plugged it into a timer so that it stops running for 15 minutes per hour to cool.
The pump uses less than 60 watts and produces approximately 2 gallons per minute. I have logged about 700 hours / 85,000 gallons on the pump and it still works as good as new. My pump is metered so I can report that my total electrical cost has been about $7.15 (at 17 cents / KWH) or about 120 gallons of water for each penny of electricity!
I considered lots of different options before I got the Shurflo 2088. Based on the specifications, it appeared to be the most cost-efficient option I could find for my application. It has certainly exceeded my expectations. My only regret is that I didn't buy two so that I could double my pumping rate when needed and also have a spare on hand for when it is time to replace the diaphragm after 2000 hours of use.
Although I work servicing and installing well pumps, I had never installed one of these pumps for a customer. Considering my positive experience with this pump, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to recommend it provided the water being pumped is clean or could be adequately filtered prior to entering the pump."

Shurflo 115 Volt Demand Pump,
August 12, 2008
By Trax
from Sarasota, FL
"This pump works great. Plenty of power on demand and quiet. I use it as a portable pump to winterize a hunt camp trailer. I have a 115 volt power source near the water intake making this pump easier to use than a 12V pump. It pumps the RV antifreeze throughout the system with no problem. I recommend a demand pump for anyone wanting to use the pump for winterizing. Connections were straight forward both electrical and for the fluid connections. No strange sizes involved.
Northern Tool was a pleasure to order from, and sent the product right away."

Great Pump but Really Loud,
June 25, 2008
By PumpOwner
from Delaware
"I purchased this pump to transfer refridgerated liquids between holding tanks. Pump primes itself with ease every time, works reliably, and is easily able to pump through ~100' of 5/8" tubing. Only issue is the noise it generates. Very loud - too loud for where I need it to run it so I will need to find another alternative. Would have said 5 Star othewise - still recommend it if you don't mind the noise."

Outdoor Shower,
December 18, 2007
By springturkey
from Goodview, VA
"I bought this pump for hunting camp this year. I used it to run a shower outside of our tent and to run a tub sink inside the tent. I ran the pump off of a 5000W Coleman Powermate generator (kindof overkill, since the pump is only about 108W I think, but it was all we had available). I had the pump pulling out of a 55 gallon drum that sat beside our woodstove, and into a 10 gallon water heater, and then to the sink and showerhead. What an awesome job it did! It actually created more pressure than the showerhead does in my house! The best feature of this pump is the pressure switch. It allowed us to use the shower and the sink just like we would at home, without fear of burning up the pump. It also pulled water out of our transport drum into our stationary one in the tent, with ease from about 75 horizontal feet, and about 8 ft. vertical. We did siphon the water out of the transport drum to get it started, so I am not sure that it would pull that far without some makeshift form of priming. We just were able to do it this way, and didn't want to take any chances. This pump is worth the money, even if you only use it for one week a year!!! Kudos to Shurflo."

"I used this pump to pump out some water that had collected under the crawl space of my house. It worked great. I had about 10 feet of 1/2" PVC pipe on the pump suction and the pump primed itself with no problem. I could not be more pleased with this pump."
