Acquaer Water Transfer Pump DC 12V 1/10HP Portable Electric Water Removal Utility Pump with Switch and Suction Hose Kit, Low Suction Water Removal for RV, Water Beds, Pools, Rain Barrel, Aquariums

Worked great for what I wanted it for so far. I bought this unit because I have a rather large fish tank that houses a turtle. Consequently I have to change ALL the water often. I've tried pumps I got at the fish store but found them ineffiecient, especially the one that you hook to your hose and run the water to create suction. Wastes a lot of additional water with the water in the tank. I bought this to be able to empty as much water from the tank as possible in a reasonable time. With the suction plate that it comes with, I get nearly all the water out of the tank in a reasonable amount of time. I've used it on my tank and my pond that I temporarily keep the turtle during cleanings and had no issues. It is a bit noisy in that it whines, but most pumps of this style make similar noise, and its only on for the short time needed to empty each. As for durability, only time will tell. My guess is that those that had issues didn't lubricate the impellor before use as directed. When dry, like when it's not primed, the impeller can heat up quickly. This isn't a problem once the fluid is flowing, but while first sucking up the fluid without being primed it will heat up quickly and probably deform since the impellor appears to be plastic or rubber.

This pump does what it says it does, but look at the 1/10 HP and be sure that's what you need. It is very slow, kind of like a small pond fountain. It's not even as fast as a garden hose connected to our house's hose bib. Not great for transferring large amounts of water quickly at all.

Bought to feed drip irrigation tubing from water storage. Works really well, but is fairly loud. Plan to avoid being in the same indoor space while it’s operating (or wear ear protection). Outside, it’s pretty annoying and would likely bother close neighbors without building a housing/enclosure for it. I did, and it quiets the pump reasonably well to the point where I don’t feel bad running it. Easily runs off of a 10V lead acid battery charged by a solar panel. I didn’t want to bother running electrical to my storage tanks, and this is a great solution. Pro tip: if you take the handle off to make it fit somewhere, make sure to replace the screw or it will leak! Also, if you build a housing, make sure there’s plenty of room to run the hose with a natural curve, or you may get cavitation.

(More of a 4.6 star, but...rounding up) I bought this pump to move water out of a pond. So far, I've about 10,000 gallons through it, about an hour each time, and it's been fine. The housing gets hot but not scalding, but I'm also moving 55 degree water, which may help to keep it from overheating. It is an annoying motor sound, but I don't stay beside it - since it doesn't have a power switch, I can instead sit beside the power outlet. I bought this instead of other models partially due to it having a supplied hose with a somewhat filtered triangle intake head. I would like it to have variable speed, but probably most people want to pump as much water in as little time as possible. I have burned out one impeller, and of course can't find the replacement one that came with it. However, for those who need them - this impeller works fine in it: B09WMQ8PDL For the money, it seems dependable - the impeller burnout was my fault.

Worked great the first time I used it but needed to replace the impeller the second time which they do include a replacement with the pump. That wore out and when I contacted the manufacturer they said they do not offer the impeller for sale separately and I would need to purchase a new pump. Very frustrating because it clearly says in the description replaceable impeller, just doesn't say you can't buy it. Tried finding a generic impeller, they sell for about 4 dollars but this company makes their shaft smaller so generic isn't an option. So after spending $59 I got to use it twice and it is now in the scrap pile.

There was an issue with first pump, seller fix the issue, the pump works great as describe, fully recomended

With generational rainfall and flooding in Central Kentucky this past week, this transfer pump helped keep water out of our basement. I ended up purchasing a second one and ran them both with garden hoses, away from the house foundation. Ran for 3-4 hours each time and had no problems. Without these pumps, we would've definitely had soaked floors and carpet. Bought these after the last heavy rainfall and a $2,000 Servpro bill. This pump saved us a bunch of money! Just do as it's recommended by priming the pump and have the hose submerged into the water before plugging in. They worked GREAT! Just wish it had a switch, other than that....No complaints and highly recommend!

It worked but the water flow was 1/3 of what I expected. I bought it to be able to fill my rv from local streams when extended camping and at the rate is was working-would take 30 minutes to pump 15 gallons. Dipping a bucket into a creek and then filtering that water into my camper would be faster-but then have to deal with lifting full buckets high enough to reach the camper water inlet and filter system. So-this works but was expecting better performance as the motor seems robust. .
