Good design, cheap construction,

"The pump works well, and the base and pump combination are great for the height.
The long stroke on the pump delivers more water than smaller pumps.
My only problem with it, is that is was simply not built to last. The metal is cheap and brittle, and the cup lasted about 2 years.
Trying now to get replacement parts. The cups were available, but the top bracket part that broke has been backordered for several months now. I may have to buy a complete unit to get back in action."

northern Industrial Lage Cast Iron Hand pump,

"We like ours . It brings back days when my Grandparents were alive and it was necessary for them to use one. We hooked it up with no problems. I would recommend this. When we have Visitors, they say where did you get that?. Then of course they have to try it out and they say "That is so nice." Hope you have as much use and pleasure out of it as we have had."

pump,

"I just installed this pump and it works well! The box comes with no instructions but it is pretty easy to figure out. It justs comes with a poorly drawn diagram I use it for a small catch basin I have on a stream which holds about 44 gals of water. Great for the kids to play with and water plants. Did have to wait 2 months for the product but it was worth it."

Excellent hand pump,
May 30, 2007
By KScheerfrom northern Minnesota
"I just installed this hand pump in my garden and I am delighted with the flow it produces. It pumps very efficiently and creates a larger volume of water than expected. The pump is an extraordinary value, though I do have my doubts as to how long the rubber piston cup will last, but it can be replaced with the standard leather version. Mind you, my water table is exceptionally shallow, but even so, this far out performs other cast iron cistern pumps."
