wolfcraft Drill Pump with Metal housing - Self-Priming Water Pump with up to 3000 l/h - Ideal as a Garden Pump or for Pumping Out Water beds - 2200000

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pump for the price. Robustly manufactured and even the supplied bolts to clamp it to a baseboard were of good quality. Easy to fir garden hose to the suction and supply sides of the pump and then attach to an electric drill. It does what it says and pumps liquids, at a very acceptable rate. Worked well lifting liquid approximately 2m. Very satisfied and great value for money.

Used for removing excess water from dug hole, jig made for cordless drill, works a treat.

This turned out to be an ideal little pump. I had to empty some water in an inspection pit and it worked really well. The drive power is supplied by your own electric drill, attached to the spindle of the pump, and it's a good system which keeps the price down. I took the advice to fix th pump to a board and this was very valuable advice. I needed a couple of wooden wedges to support the drill to the right height but that was easy. My only concern, and it's not really a criticism of the pump, is that it was not keen on pumping the water at the bottom where there was algae growing. Overall, a good purchase.

Great pump. Simple to use

I've been using this pump for 4 years to service a solar thermal hot water system once a year. Other reviewers (check the 1-star reviews pages 2 and 3) have used it for this same, but with less success. My experience has been generally better. I can't comment on the observations (by Others in the 1-star), that the pump contaminates the fluids. This does seem likely since it relies on the internal rubber flaps rubbing inside the housing. I propose that solar glycol-type fluid is intrinsically lubricating which maybe helped. So I managed to get good enough performance for about four uses over four years. The pump when new would provide very nearly 2.0 bar into the system. That was running on a powerful 800W drill. By use # 3 (probably after half an hour running total), it was providing 1.8 bar. By year 5, (perhaps 1 hour running total), the pump seems to have failed, and won’t circulate much liquid at all or provide any pressure. (– bear in mind that the internals have been thoroughly pickled by now for years in the solar fluid). As a result I do suspect that the inner rubbery bits have chucked their content into my pipework, but that’s hard to say because five years in the solar fluid is black and stinky and foul and needs a flush and refresh anyway. The pump will do a “negative lift”, in my case only about 20cm and I start it very gently and ensure it’s got some fluid inside from the get-go. The design looks like one reversal could instantly knacker it, and perhaps this explains some of the “useless” reviews? Make sure the drill goes the right way (forwards /clockwise) before starting out. Sadly, there seems to be little available other than this pump which is likely to do a better job for a DIY-er servicing solar thermal on a budget. I have tried lesser drill pumps in the past and they wouldn’t provide adequate pressure even from new. I might have to buy another of these, and be ready for its inevitable failure after a few uses.

Great pump used for transferring heating oil from one tank to another, best to anchor it to something first, I used a plank of wood for stability and it worked faultlessly. Just make sure you have the right fittings for your hoses! Just attaches to your drill and away you go.

Super little drill pump - worth every penny. Metal housing, self-priming (up to 30 seconds running dry) AND includes a parts list with actual part numbers. Made in the EU and only little bit more expensive than the all plethora of all plastic options that abound. Used it to empty a water meter chamber - job done in a 60 seconds. Definitely recommended.

I've only used the pump twice and it's been good and easy two use. I've got it fixed on a small piece of wood. To make it better for fixing the drill into. I'm sure I'm going to find plenty uses

Kullanımı rahat sağlam malzeme oldukca kuvvetli su basıyor

Fonctionne très bien contrairement aux versions plastiques trouvées dans les magasins de bricolage (même de la marque).

Tek kelime ile harika! Çok dayanıklı, tek dikkat etmeniz gereken dönüş okuna dikkat etmeniz. Tıkanmış bir yerden su çekmem gerekiyordu ve su pisti. Buna rağmen pislik falan dinlemeden yaklaşık 100 lt su pompaladı matkapla

Solid and does the job.

This is a great little pump. I have pumped hundreds of gallons so far with it. I have even unintentionally abused it by running it dry for about 2 minutes. Running it dry for more than 40 seconds is definitely something you do not want to do. The pump is still going strong even in spite of the unintentional abuse.
