solid performance

easy, robust, reliable little pump. put into muddy water and it never clogged .

Leaked oil into water, and had to replace with another brand.

I bought this pump to empty out a heated water trough in my chicken and duck small trough in the barn. I knew I had to have a submersible pump so that the water wouldn't freeze inside of it. It was easy to hook up to my heated Pilon hose and worked well at first, but since my ducks get that water super dirty, eventually this pump ended up clogged and barely pushing water. I had no way to clean it out in a freezing Michigan barn in Winter. It was worth a try for me to use this pump, since hauling buckets hurts my back. It wasn't the fault of the pump, which would work well in the right situation--like if I only had chickens. But with messy ducks putting sludge in the water daily, I guess I need a pump made for sewage! Hence, I gave this pump an excellent rating. The water pumped out a bit slow in a 30 ft hose. Not sure if that was due to my situation or not. The cord was nice, long enough and strong. The pump was solidly built and a good value for the price. I wouldn't recommend this for a duck pond or a super mucky situation.
