Title: pumps on ebay
Post by: jeff evans on August 15, 2006, 08:29:23 pm

Hi all

Found these pumps on ebay, does anyone know if they are any good.

One of them goes up to 40psi, would it run 1 pole at that pressure  say with 60mtr of microbore.

here is the link http://search.ebay.co.uk/flojet-pump_W0QQfcclZ1QQfclZ4QQfnuZ1QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1

Jeff.

jeff,

they look and sound like marine pumps which are used for pumping water from tanks to taps on boats, I don't think they would have the pressue/flow ratio. The one they sell at the bottom of the list for £99 would be OK but you can probably get it cheaper elswhere.

In most cases if its too cheap there's a reason.

the smaller pumps are usually ok for intermittent work, but not really suitable for wcing, 40psi equates to 80ft so you could use it with any pole but normally the motor in the smaller pumps just isn't up to it.
