    Works a treat, finally got a British made product of quality that doesn’t drop to bits, (not made in China) i have a reasonable large garden and this pump made work so much easier when watering plants,you do need a rigid hose pipe to connect won’t work on the ones that expand but still worth 5 stars.

    I find this pump very easy to use. It delivers enough pressure out of a 200 litre water butt and through a 40m Gardena hose pipe to water flower beds or lawn areas. It also worked well to transfer water between different butts throughout the garden. Connections to compatible hoses and accessories works fine without leaks. I can only recommend this water pump.

    Bought for pumping water from rainwater collection system. Great bit of kit. Easy to use.

    Item arrived very quickly and is working very well. Easy to put together and a nice long power cable!

    We use this to pump rainwater up our hillside garden to the pond. Copes well with the height and is sturdy. Sometimes it doesn’t start and I need to jiggle the float before it kicks off, otherwise it’s perfect. Doesn’t always autostop but has never overheated.

    I have only used this twice thus far which I use to drain linked water butts in my garage which takes the water from my garage and adjoining shed roof. In winter I don’t need as much water and the soakway does not work so this device saves me straining my back, emptying numerous buckets of water. It does the job of emptying a full 200 litres butt within a few minutes. Be careful though that the outlet clear tube doesn’t kink otherwise it won’t pump as I found out today! Like a few other reviewers have mentioned, the diagram is wrong-follow the picture on the box when fitting the aluminium tube and the outlet hose. Draper should take better care when designing their instructions: very sloppy and thus they lose 1 star for this reason.

    Great product enabling easier and less time consuming distribution of water around the garden from Rainwater Buts via existing garden hosepipe.

    Alla ricerca di una pompa con alimentazione a batteria ricaricabile, mi imbatti in questa della Draper (forse l’unica). La uso da un p e mi ha stupito per la portata d’acqua che ha, la batteria non dura tantissimo, ma facile da ricaricare in circa 4 ore. Non si pu a mio parere, pretendere di pi.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThe photos are wrong the aluminium tube connects to the centremost fitting not the outermost. The rattle you will hear is two caged ball bearings that are loose as part of the design so nothing to worry about. The Lithium battery is simply 3x 3.7V 1500mah 18650 batteries in a fancy case but they seem to last long enough. They could have fitted them inside the pump if suitably waterproofed. I suspect the pump case is bigger than it needs to be. Impressive performance even with a narrow outlet diameter. Overall a good pump for the money given it is rechargeable.

    After an initial hitch setting it up … I followed the directions but the directions are wrong. A quick call to Draper and a very helpful chap told me why my efforts had failed (pipes on the wrong way round in the diagram)

    The Draper Pumps are fantastic…we don’t have running water on our farm here in Cyprus…..we have bought six of them now 🙂
    These pumps have lessened my work load by half.
    Great product and always delivered so quickly and wonderfully packaged.
    Thank You.

    Excellent it does the job of putting water from a well into a bath for the horses especially as the water in the well is quite low now.

    Lithium Ion battery pack-controller (12V) arrived as dead as a Dodo even after 24h charge (the supplied diminutive mains to 14vdc 0.4A charger was OK), very frustrating as I really needed this pump to work.
    In short, it was incapable of shifting even a millilitre from new!
    UPDATE: Extremely quick and efficient replacement of faulty battery by Draper UK who collected the faulty item, so review updated from 1 star to 4 stars.

    Ottimo prodotto, altezza di pompaggio acqua 11m . Peccato che le specifiche tecniche non siano pubblicate da Amazon ma si trovano solo nelle istruzioni all’interno della scatola di spedizione, o sul sito Draper. Comunque funziona alla perfezione, perfetta la batteria che consente di pompare acqua anche dove non c’ elettricit!!! Comprare un adattatore perch la spina dell’alimentazione inglese !!! Consegna arrivata puntuale. Sarebbe bello che vendessero a parte una batteria di alimentazione di riserva per le emergenze.Attenzione alle istruzioni di montaggio, perch sul libretto di istruzioni hanno invertito le entrate e le uscite. Nella foto dello scatolone invece sono montate correttamente!!!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI needed a battery operated pump to use at the allotment. As an Aircraft Engineer I use a lot of tools and I am familiar with the Draper brand. The quality of this pump has impressed me, it is very well made and everything fits together well. So far, I have only set it up and given it a trial run in the garden and again I am impressed with the performance. The battery pack allows you to adjust the power of the pump which if used on a very low setting will increase the battery usage time. On the maximum setting the flow is well above what I will require and using with a hose around twenty feet long, the pressure is very good. The only problem I had was that the fitting on the handle does not mate to my existing ‘Hozelock’ fitting on the hose pipe very well, it leaks badly. I will need to either find a Draper fitting to go on the hose of my existing pipe or put a Hozelock fitting on the delivery hose from the pump. Simple either way, and not a criticism of the pump itself. From my experience and requirements it does everything I need it to do and would highly recommend this pump.

    It does what the advert says with a very good pressure, but the handle pulled out when I tried to take it out of the barrel, so I had to put a screw through the tube to stop this happening. But this is a very good pump.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersSchon ein tolles Teil! Befrdere Wasser von einer Regentonne in ein 6 m hheres Reservoir. Bei vollem Akku erreiche ich dort mit einem 1Zoll Schlauch noch eine Durchflussmenge von der Hlfte der Nennleistung. Verarbeitung macht guten Eindruck! Vor allem das Steuergert mit Akku wirkt sehr solide.
    Zu beachten (ohne Punktabzug):
    1. Bedienungsanleitung nur englisch. (Sollte ja aber heute kein Problem mehr sein)
    2. Anschlusssystem (Gardena und Kompatible) reduziert die Wassermenge aufgrund geringer Durchmesser von Schluchen und Anschlussstcken. (wird meistens in Beschreibungen verschwiegen. Ist halt Physik und wer mag die schon!) Ich habe daher einen 1 Zoll Schlauch direkt mit Schelle auf dem Pumpenanschlussgewinde befestigt und die Wassermenge ist beachtlich!
    Mankos (dafr einen Punkt Abzug):
    Bedienungsanleitung und Bild hier zeigen falschen Anschluss. Schlauch und Gestnge vertauscht. Auf Originalpackung steht es richtig. (Dummerweise kommt kein Wasser raus, wenn man es wie beschrieben aufbaut. Habe es nur bemerkt weil ich das Haltegestnge nicht richtig verschraubt hatte und da pltzlich Wasser raustropfte.)
    Noch ein Minus: Netzteil hat einen englischen Stecker. Kann nur mit Adapter am deutschen Stromnetz betrieben werden.
