Thank you for sharing this video. I am looking for a way to pump water from my creek into a rain barrel. I thought my idea would work until I saw this video. You saved me lots of time, money, and energy. Thank you. ❤ I will definitely try to find a way to create a filter system with the non submersible pump.

Good thing you made this video - you answered my question on that pump, doesn't work for what I need so now I am buying an ejector pump. Thanks.

That was a cool video. Totally understand the BS that comes with not having tools/euipment. Which is why, like you, I buy everything I need one time and have it for net time. Because there will always be another need. Thanks for sharing!

You are not the only person,,,, I'm there with you,,, it's hard to plan,,, we learn. By the way,, love your video.

Looking forward to your next video with the new pump! :)

I’m looking at that pump for use with rain barrels. Even then, I’d install filters to keep any dirt out etc. Lost time and lost money are two of the best teachers!

Just subscribed to you. Your absolute unabashed honesty is the best. Loved the video.

You are not alone Sir. Been where you are many times

Nah, man. You ain’t the only one that goes through stuff like that. ✌️

I feel your pain brother, watching you do a project is like looking in a mirror. Thanks for the video, that is a pretty cute little helper you have there.

"People like me are gonna try to find a way to get around stuff like this" Me too!! Great video. Thanks.

Great Video, You helped me. TY for sharing what you've learned !!

Gracias amigo acabo de comprar una espero tener buen resultado

Thanks for the video, we were about to do the same thing. We will return the pump before using it

No I went through it today thanks for a great ending

Sure wish I had known before I waisted my money this afternoon

Places like that should be open on weekendsI I use that first pump to transfer water from a 275 gallon IBC tote into our 2500 gallon tank. It works great for that even with an extension cord.

I feel you man. We need to plan better.

I used an old pool pump and it's perfect for this application

Nice work man.

I love your video

Thank you for this. I think you almost had it but dirt got caught in the intake. I don’t think the ext cord OR the water was bad it’s just was probably hard to keep the intake hose from sucking up too much mud. Anyway who cares those kids are what really matter and they was having fun! Anyway great video!!

It is not a junk pump,read the instructions and you will find that your in side of house can't pull more than 10 or 15 feet,your out side ,they say no more than 25 ft but it will eject further than it can suck up!! I've used this same pc4 pump as a lawn spraying pump for weeds and fertilizer with a 30 gal drum on a cart,50 ft of out hose with a fan spraying nozzle and a 100 ft xtention cord and it works great. Keep your intake hose short and out of mud,as you lower the water level,dig a small hole to get rest out. Great pump,learn from me and your mistake,this pump will run multiple sprinklers,make sure u use the largest hose size,if you can!!!

Thanks for sharing 😊

Hahaha, feeling your frustration. No, not just you. These things happen to all of us. I am a lady on 13 acres, trust me I am laughing WITH you not AT you. I bot the Drummond 63317 transfer pump to transfer water from some full barrels to some empty ones I placed on a pallet. That way I can easily move heavy barrels around with my tractor, but I was not able to get pump to work!

Good video..i make shift all the time and learn as i go..lol..i think if u woukd have used a net on the pull end and cleaned it when it clogged it might have worked out.

Hope the new one works out for you. The one inch one is still on the small size for $21 more the two inch "simi trash" one would have been better. That said you work with what you have as a home owner.

You can get a float ring to hold up hose.

Ok I could use some help on this issue. My water heater doesn’t have a pan and is connected to solid pipes so lifting it isn’t an option. I created a box using sheet metal around the heater and caulked it to make it “water tight”. So my next step is to find a small pump that say my heater starts to leak and it builds up will suck the water out. Research shows a condensate pump would work but not sure exactly how to set it up.

I have one. I wouldve shorten the hoses. And made sure not to let mud get sucked into the intake. Thats probably what happened. Was working fine. Could put the end of the intake in a box

I agree, places call too early for folks

thanks for the review, now I know this is not the pump for me.

Thank you for your excellent review!! Believe i just bought a pump that is not going to work for me. Dang

Use this pump on hot water heaters pool etc.but still good ideal though

i plugged in the power cord to a random outlet, a portion of my home's electricity went out, wtf? i rebooted the circuit breaker, still got no power. so the manual says do NOT use an extension cord & plug directly in a gfci outlet? why all the prerequisites to power on the pump?

I don't know if he hooked the connections right. Because I used it in my Basement with about same amount of water and it did its job well. That's my feedback. Though I'm looking forward to seeing the other one in action too

i feel ya brother!

darn , its almost as loud as my smaller harbor freight pump is , i use mine for aquariums so thats probably a bit loud

I love you! I’m exactly like you. That rental store must not like money? Plus we are guys-more toys right? Thank you for this video.

This is a great video. I'm trying to come up with a system to draw water from my lake to water garden and this pump is NOT the solution.

Morning. Is this another pump. That water been nightmare.

That’s how many gallons it will transfer in given time. Gph gallons per hour.

Hey quick question. Is the camera mounted on your chest or forehead? lol Thanks in advance!

I used a pump cheaper than yours to pump out water worse than yours. It can be done. But it is a pain. You have to more or less hold the suction hose about an inch underneath the water and not much further else you will start sucking up dirt and clog the pump. I had to clean mine out several times but eventually got the job done. You will likely need an affluent pump or sewage pump designed to handle dirt and other objects like small rocks. Im sure you know this by now.

Your intake hose is the issue, hose is collapsing.

I bought one of these today, and it doesn’t work.

so how much was your new pump?

Naw bru it's a learning process

How about........ we just dont use more than one. Ha ha. Exactly though. I saw that in the instructions and was like yeah right as I plug in 50 ft extension cord. Works fine

I'm my own trugreen if you gt it!!!¡

I’m laughing with you not at you… Cuz I thought it only happened to me. I watch those shows on discovery where they living off grid but yet happen to have every tool/machine for every project. I usually spend most my time running back n forth to the store n cursing my innocent family cuz they’re the only ones in earshot. It’s hard to plan if you don’t know. Hope you got to removing that boulder 👊🏾

Trial and error my friend.

We bought one of these from Harbor Freight and can't get it to work. Prime it, plug it in, prime it, plug it in. Three of us trying to get it to work, wasting hours. It's a piece of crap. Not cheap and you can't return it to the store.

Lol.

Junk

Junk don’t waste your money and time.

I bought on 29 days ago. It still runs but wol 'nt pump they will not give me my money back at the store. Gave me a phone number to call a special line @ harbor freight that refers to to a web sight. Never never again will i ever buy from there again.

Trash pump.
