Questions & Answers
By simply turning the cap counter-clockwise, you will be able to stop the flow. The cap can be found on top of the pump.
Two bungs are on our drum -- one has coarse threads and one has finer threads, respectively. It worked great with this pump because of the fine threaded one. Wouldn't it be nice if yours has two bungs, too?
The thread does not have to be affixed to the drum in order for it to work. Gravity feed pumps do not have much flow unless they are pumped, so if the outlet is above the inlet, you will have to Be sure the release valve at the top is closed or you will not have any pumping action.

The pump itself is satisfied, as I have not received a discount, though I did find a free TRDP15 case with this pump enclosed for posting a review. This did motivate me to take the time to write a review despite not changing my opinion of the product. When it comes to the task it was purchased for, it works fine. In my case, it pairs well with a.
To use this pump with a 55 gallon drum filled with SuperClean was my order. This cleaner is useful for so many things, but it does have a downside. Every pump that I've tried is destroyed. A hand pump sprayer that is usually used to spray chemicals is what I use to apply the cleaner. Pumps that operate as a single unit do better than those that operate as multiple units Pumps that cost over a hundred dollars. My current barrel is still wet, so it will take time to see how dry it is. It is a hand pump that uses a siphon style pump but can also be used as a siphon style There is no need to struggle to break the vacuum in the siphon. Pump primes in a snap! *** Update Pump is still working great! A new deadline has been set for June My pump and SuperClean drum lasted for quite some time, and I have already used the first 55 gallon drum. So far, this pump has been holding up really well, and I'm really happy with my.
Since it's cheaper and I can buy wholesale, it's a good deal for me. I overfilled my tank when the company that delivers thermo oil to my rental house made a mistake and delivered it the same day my new TRDRUM30 HEAVY DUTY pump arrived. During the next day's heat wave, the oil in the tank expanded and began to seep from the fill bung hole as the temperature soared to nearly 80 degrees. As soon as I arrived at the house to check on it, I smelled heating oil. Using a siphon pump and a couple of 5 gallon containers, I removed enough oil to prevent what could have been a devastating environmental disaster at my home. There was very little heating oil spilled on the ground because of this pump. As well as removing water and sludge from my tanks, this siphon pump will also use to remove water from my waste tanks. This product has been a good fit for my needs and I am very pleased with it. It is great to have this pump on hand for a variety of purposes. make sure that you clean it after every use and store it out of the light.
A shaker siphon only gets water flowing when water barely has to rise above the edge of a container, and a 5 gallon pump gets air leaks around its seams and doesn't have enough pull to lift water more than a foot or two off the ground. There is no problem pulling water out of the bottom of my rain barrels with this pump, which is much stronger and larger. No matter how much algae is on the surface. I am very happy with the outcome. A 5 gallon bucket was filled in just over a minute. In exchange for a good review, the seller is giving me a free pump, but I am being 100% honest. If it was a crappy pump, I would not even want the prize.
In order to transfer diesel fuel from a barrel into 5 gallon cans, I needed a clean and inexpensive way to pump the fuel out of several drums. This pump met my needs perfectly. After a few pumps, you should be able to establish a siphon flow with a filled drum. However, with the hose submerged, you might find it too fast to maintain, which I had no problem with until I stopped using it. There is a cap on the top of the pump handle that is knurled so you can loosen it to stop the vacuum and This is NOT a daily user model nor would it be suitable for fluids with high viscosities, but for me and to transfer diesel fuel, it was perfect!.
Do not expect to put it into a commercial setting or use it with a lot of force, as this isn't an industrial grade or heavy duty item. Having said that, it delivered exactly what I needed. As a result of Irma, I used it to supply water for household use in a 50 gallon barrel. Even with the hose underneath the barrel, I was able to let it flow without pumping out any of the contents, so I guess that is a testament to the vacuum being maintained despite the various moving parts The task of cleaning and drying made storage a bit problematic since I must have taken it on faith that it would snap apart and reassemble with no problems. The answer is yes. That's something to be grateful for.
The unit I purchased today is my second one. When I used it this year, there was deterioration of the hose at the point where it connects to the pump, and the hose had broken off - the 1st one was last year. I bought another one. At the moment, the current unit is working In my research, I learned that I could interrupt the flow and put the hose end into a handy circular collar to keep the siphon charged, so when I was ready to fill another bucket I could just remove the hose and place it into the bucket to continue filling up I'm very impressed with the way this works so far.
