Mighty little pump for the price!!,
November 3, 2009
By Eximport from Costa Rica
"I recently bought this pump and was impressed with how well it has worked since the first day I used it. The pump is very simple to use and it starts with no problem. I use it to pump water from an 12 foot deep well to a tank located in a 14 foot tower; until now I've had no problems. The only disadvantage I see with this pump is that that there are no spare parts available ."

Outlet Port,
May 11, 2009
By Pumpguy from Felton, DE
"The outlet port is difficult to adapt to a garded hose connection. The threads on the port are advertised to be 1". This would lead an American to think 1" IPS threads. Wrong American 1" pipe threads are 11.5 threads per inch. After calling customer assistance I found out that the threads are cut to Japan standards of 11 threads per inch. So don't try to screw a metal adaptor on the hose outlets. What I wound up doing was using a PVC adaptor and heating it up so it would get soft and screw on the outlet port. Once the adaptor was on the outlet port I could screw a 3/4" to hose end adaptor into it. I feel that the product should be machined to US standards if it is to be sold in the US. Either that or provide an assortment of adaptors that screw on the outlets with the pump. I am sure most home owners would want to attach a garden hose for watering purposes."
