This a good little pump. I have used a number of similar diaphragm pumps with automatic pressure regulation and the basic design is very reliable. I fully expect this pump will be just as reliable.Now about a couple issues. First, when you receive your pump, IMMEDIATELY remove the black rubber feet and put them someplace where they will not be lost. I was lucky to find mine in the grass after I realized they fall off very easily. There is no method provided to keep them attached.Second, there is no indication on the pump to show direction of flow. I fired my new pump up and found It is like my other diaphragm pumps. I have marked my pump and included a picture for your entertainment.Finally, there are 3 references to the inlet and outlet connections in the description. They clearly specify 1/2 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread). But, NPT threads are tapered and use compression of thread tape to make a seal. The threads on this pump HAVE NO TAPER and appear to be BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel). BSPP threads require a gasket to make a face seal and no tape. For example GHT (Garden Hose Thread) is a straight thread and needs a washer to seal.I ordered this pump because it specifies NPT. Now I discover I have to find rare BSPP to NPT adapters. iMOR should not have put any reference to NPT in the description.Pros:1) Reliable type of pump.2) 3GPM.3) Self priming.4) 65psi self regulated.Cons:1) Description is wrong.2) Rubber feet fall off.

I have been running this pump as a portable water transfer pump for a couple of different applications around our house. So far it has been really good and puts out decent water pressure. I have not really tested what the pump head height is, but it works well for small things. The inlet strainer seems to clog pretty quickly, so I might run an external filter that is easier to maintain to catch the bigger stuff. The mounting pattern seems to be a pretty standard pattern. This has been a really useful pump so far.

Very impressed with his pump. I use it as an emergency water pump with two lawn mower batteries during power outages when my main pump isn’t powered. Automatic pressure switch works at 65psi, which is perfect for household use. Keeps the sinks and toilets usable during power putages.

Well, its been running off a 100W solar panel all summer, running thru 8 black hose coils to soak in the sun and keep the pool warm as the weather cooled. Ran flawlessly until a month ago. Diaphragm valves have melted away, and the slower the flow, the more damage I presume was done. Unit is pretty loud, doesn't require priming, and pumped not as much as advertised, but close to 1.2 gpm. Maybe all the hoses slowed the flow, but the system is a trial system and laid on the concrete deck, so no uphill flow, all pretty level. As the flow diminished, the unit got hotter which led to its demise. I'm looking for parts (valves) but so far nothing, but I'll keep trying. Certainly the motor is well made and has held up well, as well as the rubber diaphragm. Its the 8 one way valves as the only thing that has failed. If I can find them or make them, I'll be running it again. The pump DOES work underwater, but I didn't want it in my pool. Overall, besides the valves, did pretty well.
