wolfcraft Drill Pump with Metal housing - Self-Priming Water Pump with up to 3000 l/h - Ideal as a Garden Pump or for Pumping Out Water beds - 2200000

Bought this pump because it was made of metal and had a high feedback rating.My own personal experience was that the pump arrived well packaged with clear English instructions, the components for fitting this pump to a suitable base were of high quality and came with fitting instructions that again were clear and accurate.The pump manufacturers recommend a drill at 600w powere rating and above, however, I ran it with a Bosch drill of 500w without issue. Once I applied a drill of greater power (800 w) I encountered other issues NOT related to the pump. When you increase the power the hose/tubing must be more rigid or the tube will collapse and function below optimum.Once you have balanced the power with the tubing the pump is more than capable of coping and so far has run perfectly with no fuss or issues. I use it to do water changes in a tropical 350 ltr tank fish , which makes the operation so much easier I don't know why we didn't do it before.The pump is rated at 3000 ltrs per hour ... that ISN'T possible with standard hosing in my experience.Overall I would highly recommend this product. it wasn't the cheapest product but I'm very pleased so far.

Super little drill pump - worth every penny. Metal housing, self-priming (up to 30 seconds running dry) AND includes a parts list with actual part numbers. Made in the EU and only little bit more expensive than the all plethora of all plastic options that abound. Used it to empty a water meter chamber - job done in a 60 seconds. Definitely recommended.

The metal construction seems solid.Did not work with my cordless Ryobi drill but worked well with an an old Black and Decker corded drill.

Great pump used for transferring heating oil from one tank to another, best to anchor it to something first, I used a plank of wood for stability and it worked faultlessly. Just make sure you have the right fittings for your hoses! Just attaches to your drill and away you go.

Why didn't I buy one years ago? Having used baling and hand siphons previously, I probably wasted months of my life slowly emptying things into other things. This does it double quick, whether it's emptying a small cistern, coolant reservoir or cycling cleaner around inaccessible parts of a heating system, it copes. Very durable being metal and combined with a good cordless drill it is a very flexible tool.Still performing well. I Give it a quick run after use with clean water, allow it to dry and a quick spray of light oil in the intake before storing.

I've been using this pump for 4 years to service a solar thermal hot water system once a year.Other reviewers (check the 1-star reviews pages 2 and 3) have used it for this same, but with less success. My experience has been generally better. I can't comment on the observations (by Others in the 1-star), that the pump contaminates the fluids. This does seem likely since it relies on the internal rubber flaps rubbing inside the housing. I propose that solar glycol-type fluid is intrinsically lubricating which maybe helped.So I managed to get good enough performance for about four uses over four years. The pump when new would provide very nearly 2.0 bar into the system. That was running on a powerful 800W drill. By use # 3 (probably after half an hour running total), it was providing 1.8 bar. By year 5, (perhaps 1 hour running total), the pump seems to have failed, and won’t circulate much liquid at all or provide any pressure. (– bear in mind that the internals have been thoroughly pickled by now for years in the solar fluid). As a result I do suspect that the inner rubbery bits have chucked their content into my pipework, but that’s hard to say because five years in the solar fluid is black and stinky and foul and needs a flush and refresh anyway.The pump will do a “negative lift”, in my case only about 20cm and I start it very gently and ensure it’s got some fluid inside from the get-go.The design looks like one reversal could instantly knacker it, and perhaps this explains some of the “useless” reviews? Make sure the drill goes the right way (forwards /clockwise) before starting out.Sadly, there seems to be little available other than this pump which is likely to do a better job for a DIY-er servicing solar thermal on a budget. I have tried lesser drill pumps in the past and they wouldn’t provide adequate pressure even from new. I might have to buy another of these, and be ready for its inevitable failure after a few uses.

It's been very effective at draining water, pumping at a good rate with a big enough electric drill. I spray some light oil into it after each use. I connect mine to my hose-reel. I also have the smaller plastic version of the pump but find that slightly more awkward to prime.

Unfortunately there was hardly any pressure for using with an irrigation system or sprinkler. There was more gravity fed power than the actual pump itself. We weren’t sure if our Dewalt battery drill was powerful enough, so decided to purchase an 800w corded drill. It still didn’t work. Thankfully Amazon are refunding the item but we would have preferred it to have worked as per the description. Not sure if we got a faulty pump, but we will never know 😳

Mycket bra pump

Bit disappointed wasn’t suitable for potable water so couldn’t use for drinking water - information wasn’t displayed until I opened information sheet that came with product- otherwise wouldn’t have brought

Hat uns schon sehr geholfen. Unsere Hebeanlage war kaputt. Wasser stand ind der Badewanne und im Klo. Das kleine Pümpchen hat in kurzer Zeit alles nach draußen befördert. Bohrmaschine dran, Schlauch dran und ab geht das Wasser.

using it for used oil, kicks ass

belissima pompa, presa una in pvc da un`altro venditore già fusa.
