Does not self prime,

"I bought this pump because of the listed self-priming feature. However, it will not self prime - even 2 inches above the water level. Once pumping, it does an okay job off the 12v batteries, but I really needed something that was self priming. Was a waste of money for me."

Pony Pump,
January 22, 2008
By firewalkerfrom Sugar Land, Texas
"Well, I purchase one of these to transfer water from a holding tank to my travel trailer. The first time I used it worked like a charm. The second time I tried to use it it would not pull a suction sufficient for "self" priming. I basically had to get my suction line filled in order to make the pump work. The 3rd time I tried to use the pump it would not pull any suction. I took the pump back and it was replaced with a new pump. While the replacement has not yet failed, it is just a matter of time before it does as it has trouble priming. Spend a little more money and get a better product. The extra cash will easily offset frustration."

"I couldn't even get it to work from one bucket of water to another at the same level. Self priming? I don't see it. I'd give it 0 stars but this script won't allow it."

Worked for 5 mins and quit,
March 6, 2007
By Alrightfarmguyfrom King City, Mo
"I tried to use this pump to pull water w/ 25ft of head. I had my local plumer come and set it all up and it ran for about 10 mins and then it would not pull any more water. The product does not do what it'll say it does. Unless your going to pull water from one tank to another at a short distance stay away from this thing!"
