FSP350CR

I bought this to replace a pump in a rainwater storage tank that had failed. It is very good, well made and easy to use. It has sufficient pressure to use a hand spray attachment on a hose even when pumped from 1 metre underground. The pump also works using water butts. Note that many other pumps on sale are designed for larger diameter commercial hoses and not garden hoses.

I liked this pump very much. Worked perfectly for my needs - essentially pumping from water-butt to rose bed etc. But on the third use it failed. Just nothing. No hints, just dead. I’m not sure how much water I could have bought for £53, but I suspect it’s a lot. I now have to use the garden tap again, and then find some other way of pumping from the butt. I can’t afford to replace this item. Very very very disappointed. And when I checked the invoice - it was shipped from China, so there is nothing I can do for warranty. Avoid. Since that review, the supplier sent me a new pump free of charge, and this has worked perfectly. It was such a good service from them, that I now regret my negative comments above. There was no request to return the faulty one, and the replacement arrived VERY quickly. I must have just had one rogue unit, which has now been replaced. I’m very pleased.

Brilliant item. Much more powerful than my old 'branded' one. It's great that it cuts off when the barrel is empty, the height of cut off can be easily adjusted. My old pump burnt out because I forgot it was on and the barrel was empty. Highly recommend this product.

Only had it a day so hopefully it lasts but it’s a good bit of kit, powerful enough and now filling up my pond for the frogs

Excellent! Easy to use. Does what it says. Love it because my watering days are so much easier now when watering my garden, and not having to lug about a full watering can, which is a chore.

Tried this first with just the normal hosepipe. No problem getting the water through but not as powerful as it would be connected to the normal outside tap. Good enough though if you are just watering plants. Connected it up to the pressure washer and it was fine. So, overall, I guess it does what it says on the tin but is lacking a bit in power. But at 350 Watts, probably to be expected.

Works well , and a fair price.

I have only used this once, but I am impressed. It was easy to set up. It attaches well to hozelock type attachments. I made sure the valve was set to open when I submerged it in the waterbutt and it started immediately. It was not as heavy as I had feared which means I can easily transfer it between waterbutts in the front and back gardens. The pressure from my very long hose was easily adequate. There was leakage from the joint at the handle but this disappeared when I put a washer (supplied). I would have liked an on/ off switch but so far that is my only quibble. I will come back if I have problems.
