Title: cheap 100psi pumps...worth the money??
Post by: skillwizz on October 07, 2014, 04:54:53 pm

The question is, as above....i've seen loads of very cheap 100psi pumps on fleabay but are they up to the job?
I need fair water pressure at about 35-40 ft. I will only be using the pole about 2 days a month for about 4-5hrs at that height ,total.  All advice and comments are of course very welcome.

I always say you get what you pay for, a 100 psi shurflo pump will last you years but for the sake of 2 days work a month maybe these cheapies are worth it, how cheap are they ? got a link ?

Your best bet is to stick with what is the best and what will last. Your just going to get problems down the line for the sake of a few quid.

Plus one soupy

I used similar for a set up last year, they lasted 4 weeks, the replacements lasted 4 weeks...

The loss of time, with the van having to return to base, wait the day for new one to arrive cost way way more than a shurflo pump
