I bought this pump to help empty the water accumulating in my boat's bilge. The usual quantity is about 3-4 liters. It does the job. I also used it to do the same with the water accumulating in my inflatable boat after a serious downpour. I estimate that there was about 10-15 gallons of water. In this case, I had to split the operation in two phases because my drill's motor and battery were heating up after 5+ minutes of constant operation. I use a Milwaukee drill with a big battery.I also bought a similar but much pricier drill pump from another renown brand to empty my fuel tank with. I tested that one with water and found that it had a significantly higher output (gpm) than this one, which puzzled me because it has a smaller body casing, which lead me to think that it operates with a smaller impeller and should therefore have a lower output, given that I'm using the same drill.The other disadvantage with this pump is that it has a sealed case which cannot be opened to maintain or change the impeller. I guess that you get what you pay for.

Not all that happy with this.The first thing that happened when I attached my drill and spun the pump...water came out. That tells me it was a used product because I had NOT used this pump on any fluid at all. I was sitting there putting everything together before using it when this happened.I decided to go ahead and try it because I NEEDED to use it (that is why I ordered it). I can say that it is very slow...VERY slow. And if you stop the drill, you may not get the fluid to start pumping again. I do not know if it vapor locks or looses its prime...but it takes some effort to get fluid moving again. If you need to reposition the siphon hose...good luck!The shaft is fairly hard to turn. And it may take more hands than you have to operate this pump. 1 to hold the drill, 1 to hold the pump. Now, who holds the siphon hose, and who holds the outlet hose?You can NOT turn loose of the pump or it will wind everything around itself and sling anything that may be inside all over you (ask me how I know). Common sense is that you have to hold it. But with as stiff as it is to turn, it is not an easy task. It can easily slip from your grasp.I guess the fact that it had water inside when I got it set the tone for much of how I feel. But I believe it was likely returned because of the same experiences I had! It did not do much to change how I felt initially. So I am thinking it is just not a very good item to start with. Then add on that it was used, nope, I can not recommend this.

First attempt, used on a battery drill operated (not recommended by red lion) worked perfectly fine though, however the pump became noticeably hot to touch after pumping only 6 gallons. Second attempt I used a corded drill with lines primed with water, 15 seconds into trying to pump water I noticed a smell of burning rubber. Sure enough pump began smoking. Corded drills are recommended however this garbage couldn't even withstand the heat being produced.Save your money!

It wont work for my application, but that is not the fault of the product nor the seller. I will find another use for it.
