Second one got from different seller. First one didnt work and not able to return. I decided to buy another one to see what a $14pump could do? I put a 1,000 gallon tank in the back of my truck to go fill it at the bridge down the road. Wit the tank in back of the truck parked at the lowest place I can get the truck the top of the tank still sits about 10-13 feet above the water level. I bought a water transfer pump for around $30 and just couldnt do it. Said 16 feet max lift? So gave up on that and went back to the rope tied to the 5 gallon bucket technique till this pump came in. At first it didnt look like it was gonna do much seeing as how small it is. I used an old extension cord with a rope taped to it so could lower it off the bridge jnto the water and pull it back up by the rope and keep stress off the wires. I kept the the extension cord around 50′ cause never know? One side to the pump wires and the other I used some battery charger clips that are lables and color coded already for the and – to make easier. But had it all hooked up and ready to go. I bought a 8′ washing machine drain hose cause that’s the only thing I could find that fit the inch and an eighth out put on the pump. Used that, a couple random sized PVC 1″ schedule pipe and a shop vac hose that actually fit the 1″ pipe perfectly. Dropped pump in the water, pipes and hoses tied to side of truck, bridge posts, and top of tank. Put clips to the truck battery and did t hear any sound at all from the pump. A few seconds later was the sound of the water pouring into the tank. I read quite a few reviews and most said this was a bad ass little pump and seeing how much faster it filled the tank than the transfer pump I had borrowed before?Transfer pump tok around 2 hours to fi the 1,000 gal tank where this pump takes less than an hour. I had ordered the same transfer pump that I borrowed cause it was decent and pretty reliable but ran on 120v so had to take generator with me. And all that for it to not be able to lift the water high enuff to the tank. $30 transfer pump. Rated at 330 gallons an hour and 16′ max lift. Wasnt able to do the job. This pump, $15 rated at 1100 gallon an hour. Out performed every other pump that I used. A none of em came close. Not sure how it dose pumping bilge water? But it definitely is the perfect tool for what I needed to be able to do. Not sure about the life span of these pumps but will be sure to keep my review updated. But yeah! It is a bad ass little pump
