So good I bought another one! I have screwed ours to the shed wall with the pump in an adjacent water butt. I use a short expanding hose to water the pots and cold frames. The hose is a 25ft type. I have another pump installed in a larger butt with a 100ft expanding hose but at this distance, and at full extension, it’s struggling a bit with water pressure. But there’s still enough to be able to water some flower pots. It might work better with a traditional hose. I also bought a spare battery so as to have one to hand already charged up.
I am 81 years old and found it a struggle to try to water my plants with a watering can, I then discovered this water pump it goes into the water butt you attach the hose, so easy and when the butt is empty I can move it to the next one and so on, saves my water bill. I had a bad fall trying to water but this pump has helped me to keep my garden going as I thought I would have to give it up so my garden is now safe and so am I.
I bought and have reviewed this based on a 4x 100lt water butt set-up where water is pumped across a level garden through a 25m hozelock reel box. I can’t comment on other uses for this pump.
I was taking a bit of a gamble with this and I was half expecting it to be sent back, but thankfully it has exceeded my expectations. Using 4x100Lt water butts to keep a small area of garden hydrated is one thing, but I am using mine to water a 100m2 lawn. Soon after installing the water butts I realised that using them to water a lawn is a mistake when you are having to fill up watering cans and buckets and run back and forth.
I looked at several pumps and decided to go with this one to save me having to run a mains cable to the water butts. The kit is easy to set up: connect power cable to battery holder, slot in battery, connect supplied hose to pump and connect own hose to the end of the supplied hose. There is a bracket of you want to mount the battery holder to a wall but it is not necessary to do so. You can connect your own hose directly to the pump, but the supplied hose has a pressure relief valve and it would not be advisable to bypass this. When set up you can either run this until finished (max recommended time is 30 mins) or there is a 5, 10, 15 min timer.
Use is easy just lower the pump into the butt and power up. I was trying to make sure the pump stayed upright, but it isn’t that necessary; when the water level drops it topples over anyway, but still works fine. The pump is quiet and a single charge is more than enough for me to empty a full 100lt butt. I don’t do more than that in one go, but I am confident that the battery would do at least 2x100lt maybe more. I don’t have other Bosch tools, but I am told the battery is interchangeable.
So how does it perform? My mains water is set to 3bar which obviously drops during the day. Based on that, in a blind test I would not be able to tell the difference between this pump and my mains. I would at night as my water pressure drives back up, but this pump is more than adequate to pump from the butt, through 25m of boxed reel (both fully reeled in and out). I get a good even spray of water and now I can ensure that the entire lawn is evenly watered rather than just pouring a bucket out. You are not going to be putting fires out with this, but it is more than enough for the average garden where you are watering on the same or lower level as the butt. I have attached a video to show the out flow on a shower setting.
I may not have saved any money on my water meter in the short term when you factor in buying butts and pump, but it will eventually pay off. So far I am not regretting this purchase.
Pumpe in Regentonne, Schlauchwagen dran, Schlauch mit Pistole Frau in die Hand drcken, anschalten, breit grinsen.
Aber bei all der Freude gibts leider auch einen Nachteil. Alle Versuche diese Art von Verbindungskabel zwischen Akku/Kontrolleinheit zu finden schlugen fehl. Die doppelte Gre (5Ampere) hab ich jetzt 3x aber die pat natrlich nicht. Noch konnte ich mich nicht durchringen das Kabel durchzuschneiden zum Verlngern.. ich wrde es nmlich gerne 2,5m entfernt unter dem Dach aufhngen, so wird das aber nichts.
Diese Produktrezension sollte fr manche das Problem klren, warum die Pumpe bei Druck auf den Powerknopf nicht anspringt.
Ausgangssituation:
– die Pumpe springt nicht an und die Akkuladeanzeige leuchtet nicht auf, wenn man auf Power drckt
– die Minuten/Timeranzeige funktioniert und zeigt die Minuten an (Strich neben der Anzeige/n leuchtet)
– meine Regentonne ist 1,80m hoch (die maximale Tanktiefe wird beim Hersteller ebenfalls mit 1,80 m angegeben)
– ich nutze einen 18V 1,5 Ah Akku (ein grerer Akku ist bestellt, aber noch nicht angekommen)
Da die Pumpe nicht angesprungen ist und das Drcken des Powerknopfs nichts bewirkt hat, hatte ich die Vermutung, dass die Tauchpumpe defekt sei. Dies stimmt jedoch nicht! Ich habe den fast vollen Akku noch einmal voll aufgeladen und die Pumpe in einen Eimer mit Wasser (statt der Regentonne) gestellt – nun hat sie einwandfrei funktioniert. Das Problem lag also entweder am Akku oder an der Tauchtiefe der Pumpe.
Good price,easy to use and a lot more powerful than the mains one I’ve got only took just over 10mins to empty my 210ltr water bu
Simply a great piece of kit. Bought for my allotment to save time on watering. Simple and quick to install, worked first time and feels like the same pressure you’d get from a hose attached to the mains. Cut my watering time down to a couple of minutes for the whole plot. 5 stars.
I bought this item for use on my allotment. We have a water supply but hosepipes are not allowed. It usually takes 20-30 watering cans to water my plot in the growing season. I harvest rainwater in a variety of water butts and now the Bosch cordless water pump allows me water my plot in record time. 10/10.
This pump is easy to use, sturdily built, and provides more than enough pressure for garden sprinklers etc. I have six water butts placed at different locations around the house and garden shed, so the pump comes in very useful for watering directly from water butts or transferring between water butts. Battery charge is sufficient to empty a 205 litre water butt which is plenty.
Very pleasantly surprised by this product it worked straight from the box so simple to put together didn’t need a charge just plug and play, I had been using my normal expanding hose prior to arrival so I set this up in my water butt and attached my hose which extends to 100 feet under pressure and found very little difference in the mains pressure and the pump pressure there was a slight drop in the pumps pressure but very minimal it pulled the water from the butt and pushed it 100 feet to my adjustable hose nozzle and sprayed my garden just as good as the mains water. Still reaching a good distance, only downside was it certainly empties a 100 litre butt very fast could not believe how much water disappeared from the butt and only used it for a couple of minutes as a trial test certainly need more rain to fill my 4 butts if it empties them that quick I cannot fault this product bought as used but it looked brand new in box from Amazon works perfectly at a exceptionally good price I was expecting a good quality product being a Bosch and wasn’t disappointed it’s a brilliant product does exactly what it says it does and comes complete as per pictures you only need a hose with normal fittings and a water source eg butts or pond rivers etc excellent buy
I’ve bought this pump to get water out of a tank in the allotment as no electricity there, it gives you around 1/2 hour on a battery full charge, but it’s exactly the time I need to water all the plants. Very easy to use and more powerful than I expected. Spot o
This pump works well, I’m using it to pump rainwater from butts to the other side of the garden, around 50 metres. Saves a lot of bucket carrying! Good pressure, enough to use the spray attachment even at 50 metres. With a separate battery housing, cables and hoses to set up,it’s a little fiddly but that makes it versatile, so easy to forgive. Came with a 2.5 Amp hour battery, which seemed to run down quite quickly, just enough power to empty one butt 3-4 times, but I wasn’t paying a lot of attention. Simple on/off and timed run buttons on the battery housing. Just connect a hose, drop it into the butt, and run the hose through the supplied plastic hook. Copes with very sludgy water at the bottom of the butts!
It’s an okay pump for a small to medium garden but just Doesn’t have the power for anything larger also handy for alotments. I still recommend i
Klein, handlich und extrem leistungsfhig. Ich pumpe Wasser aus der Regentonne durch einen 50m Schlauch und habe am anderen Ende des Schlauches kaum Druckabfall. Das Produkt ist zwar teuer aber uerst flexibel und leistungsfhig. brigens, ich habe nach den ersten Tests eine zweite gekauft. Ich habe ja auch zwei Regentonne
IBU Tonne 1000 Liter: Mit Rasensprenger an 25 Meter Schlauch: Akku 2,5 AH ca 250 Liter und 4 AH ca. 700 Liter. Was die Pumpe nicht mag sind Wasserspritzen am Schlauch und Hahn zu Hahn auf Hahn zu Hahn auf. Dann sind es nur gute 100 Liter oder 300 Liter je nach Akku. Pumpe ist super !!!
I use this for aquarium water changes on a range of sized tanks, it can easily handle an 80% water change on a 250l tank (empty and refill) and a 50% on a 60l, with spare capacity in the 2.5ah battery.
Very fine mesh on suction, so very small chance of anything unwanted making it’s way through the pump.
Really simple to use and assemble, fairly compact and good flow rate, I reckon a fair bit better than mains pressure.
Would definitely recommend (can’t comment on gardening use though)!
Fonctionne super bien
40 minutes d’autonomie avec une batterie de 4ah pour 1000l de remplissage une hauteur de 4m
Nanmoins trois petits dfauts :
Le cble de branchement est assez difficile enclencher il faut de la patience et de petit doigt
Le tuyau fourni de 12 est un peu petit et rduit l’autonomie de la batterie je l’ai remplac par du 19
Il faut surtout faire attention la crpine filtre qui aprs quelques service tendance ce sauv et coule au fond de l’eau ce qui rend la rcupration difficile.
Toutefois cette pice est disponible en rechange.
Pompe fonctionnel et pratique de par sont poids, taille et puissance

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Pumpe berrascht in ihrer Leitung. Mit einem 15m langen Schlauch und 2m Steigung war ich sehr zu Frieden mit der Leitung. Innerhalb von ein paar Minuten war ein 120l Fass voll mit Wasse
I have found it to be a very useful pump system around our garden. We collects water off our greenhouse into IBC which holds 1000 litres. Drop it in the bottom and have had 40 metres of hose on the end of the pump and works well with hozelock lance very well. I suggest you have more than 1 battery because they last about 15 /20 mins max .
Die Pumpe kann mit (bei mir schon vorhandenen) Akkus der Bosch-Reihe betrieben werden, auch Akkus mit nur 2.5 Ah funktionieren hier.
Die Ansaugung klappt auch bei tiefen Regentonnen, die Steuereinheit kann einfach ber den Rand gehngt werden. Der Wasserdruck (nach 25m Schlauch) ist bei mir ausreichend fr Bewsserung.
Die Pumpe kann schnell von einer Regentonne zur nchsten versetzt werden.
Qualitativ hochwertige, leise laufende Pumpe mit intuitiver Bedienung fr Regenfsser. Auch fr Flchenregner mit 10 Meter Gartenschlauch gut geeignet.
je suis content de cette pompe tres facile d’utilisation pour ma citerne. Surtout penser a bien l’enlever pour l’hivers sinon risque de casse!

Usata per irrigazione su balcone, con taniche. Ottima potenza e portata.
L’ho installata per uso senza batteria collegandola ad un alimentatore esterno 18V 100W (consuma circa 95W durante l’uso), ma ho dovuto crere un adattatore custom per collegarlo alla pompa, in quanto essa usa un connettore particolare (LLT-M12-10002F2861) per collegarla alla batteria (e controller) originale.
La pompa consuma circa circa 95W.
Peccato che non vendano la pompa da sola senza accessori, se non come introvabile pezzo di ricambio (F 016 F05 635).
With having two water butts this pumps proves very useful and powerful enough to water garden too. Easy to use and the timer on the device is very useful.
Benutze die Pumpe fr mein Brunnen 4 m. und Wasser tonnen. Die Pumpe ist dafr perfekt. Hat auch genug druck.
Gefallen hat die schnelle Lieferung . Missfallen hat mir folgendes…Tage nach Lieferung von Amazon
keine Mglichkeit gabs die Pumpe im Baumarkt…mit Akku.. fr 10 mehr.Hatte keine Mglichkeit mehr zur Rckgabe…. Nochmehr finde ich den Bosch Kundenservice …….2Email gesendet.. Registrierung klappt mit der Pumpen SN.u Gerte Nr.nicht.. bin etwas sauer.
Bin sehr zufrieden mit der Saugleistung. Sie ist sehr leise und praktisch mit dem Akku. Das Preisleistungsverhltnis ist okay. Kann ich sehr empfehlen.
ber die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch keine Angaben machen, aber ich hoffe dass ich so zufrieden bin, wie mit allen meinen Bosch Gerten.
works very well, able to pump water from my various water butts which are up to 30m from the veggie plot.

Einfache Handhabung und leicht in Betrieb zu nehmen. Ich nutze die Pumpe fr mein Regenwasserfass und die Leistung reicht locker aus , um den Garten zu sprengen. Angenehm ist, dass das Bosch Akkusystem auf mehrere Gerte passt.
Der Aufhngebgel frs Regenfass, nur angeklemmt, lst sich zu leicht vom Akkukaste
I have a number of water butts around the garden and I wanted to make watering plants easier than lugging watering cans around. I have some other Bosch cordless tools so this seemed a good option. It was easy to set up and get going once the battery was fully charged. I have to say that I am really impressed with the pressure that it pushes out. It can drain a 200ltr water butt in no time (so much so I am adding more water butts to collect more rainwater and connecting them together). Being able to move the pump between the different water butts is great. Really pleased and would recommend.
Ich habe mehrere Wasserfsser im Garten stehen und kann ganz unkompliziert von einem Fass zum nchsten wechseln ohne mit Kabeltrommel und Strom hantieren zu mssen. Kleiner Minuspunkt: nach einigen Regentagen stand Wasser innerhalb der Batterie Abdeckung und d der Akku stand teilweise im Wasser. Ich hab jetzt noch eine Plastiktte drber gemacht und werde die Sache weiter beobachte

I liked everything about this pump,easy to use and well worth the price
Absolutely brilliant item. I bought an expandable hosepipe to go with this . It’s the best money for value I’ve spent all year . Saves loads of times carrying water . Just dips onto water barrel and pumps the water at a fantastic speed. Thankyiu
I’ve been indoctrinated into the Bosch Power4All ecosystem for some time now. I was checking out the catalogue when I saw this and after a few months of mulling it over I took the plunge(!)
As someone with a couple of water buts in the garden this has been instrumental in finally putting them to full use; partly for watering, but mostly for washing bicycles. As a keen mountain biker I spend lots of time (and use lots of water) washing my bike. This gadget has allowed me to harvest rainwater for washing it and the pump was easily powerful enough to put a decent stream of pressure through the hose clearing tenacious clods of mud. I’ve also taken it with me in the car using a bucket of river water to do the same job.
I didn’t realise until recently that Bosch is one of the only companies doing this sort of tool as part of their cordless range. I have to say it’s done a lot to keep me with them, and I think other manufacturers should wake up and smell the slightly putrid rainwater!
Allows me to water my entire 40m by 10m plot from my waterbutt and on one charge, rather than having to make endless trips to and from the standpipe with the watering can.
6 x 205ltr water butts that I use to water my greenhouse, vegetable patch and pot garden.
For ages I spent hours filling watering cans. Carrying them 30 mts. Arms hanging off.
NOT NOW!
A FANTASTIC BIT OF KIT,
Ok. Bit pricey. But you only pay for what you get.
Even at the end of a 30mtr hose, pressure is really good. Can’t praise it enough.
Das ist mal eine tolle AKKU Pumpe!Sie ist sehr leise,ich habe sie in meinem 1000L IBC Regenwassertank und das funktioniert einwandfrei.Diese Entscheidung war goldrichtig.Ich kann sie nur empfehlen!
Leider muss ich jetzt nacheinem Jahr meine gute Bewertung etwas ndern.Leider ist sie mitlererweile defekt und von Amazon ersetzt worden,der Resetknopf hilt nicht mehr so das die Pumpe nicht mehr eingeschaltet werden konnte.

Great product for transferring water between IBC’s or watering with a hosepipe directly from one if you don’t have mains water such as at an allotment.
Simple to set up and can be used with all standard hosepipes.
Battery life is ok at about 20-30 mins but you will definitely need a spare which can be bought on Amazon for 30 each most of the time.
I bought this on offer @ 82.00 which is a good price considering the battery costs 30 but at 122 or full price it is quite a costly item.
Works well and a good price when on offer.
Easy to use drop into the water butt connect a hose pipe and start watering
Great for my allotment
The only negative thing the battery last for 30 minutes but you can buy extra batteries
Using this to take water from a natural water source to water a lower garden area. It will happily transfer water over the claimed 1.8m (the elevation for me must be closer to 3m) without any issues. And to top it all off, genuinely amazed how quiet it is in operation. Literally a case of turning it on, setting the duration and then get on with wandering around with the hosepipe watering the plants, it is resilient to the user stopping the flow of water using the hose pipe attachment.
Macht was sie soll! Einfaches Handlung! Leistungsstark! Nur zu Empfehlen!
Beeindruckend was die kleine akkubetriebe Pumpe schafft! hab einen Rasensprenger dran in einem kleinen Schrebergarten.
Volle Empfehlung! Fr mich eine sinnvolle Investitio
Bin recht zufrieden mit der Pumpe, Qualitt/Haltbarkeit, kann ich noch nichts nach so kurzer Zeit sagen.
And make sure (not stated clearly enough in manual) that handle is clicked into down position. It won’t work – as I discovered. Apart from that GREAT!
So good I purchased two, one to use for garden and topping up pond from water butt. The other to drain our hot tub faster. Very powerful unit.
habe mich fr die Pumpe entschieden, weil ich den passenden Akku schon besitze. Akku passt sehr gut mit 2,5Ah kann man ca. 20 Minuten pumpen. Der Druck reicht zum Gieen vollkommen aus. Der Zusammenbau der Pumpe ist sehr einfach und auch fr unbegabte zu meistern. Werde mir mit Sicherheit noch eine kaufen fr ein anderes Regenfass.
Works well only thing was the battery charger coming from England I had to buy a power plug converter for Australia
This gives a powerful flow, faster than my mains pressure! Does not take long to water my blueberries now. Battery life so far seem fine, a got another so I have another to swap to. Only thing bad is the anti syphon rubber bung which shot out Into the garden when the pressure got to high. I just connected a hose direct, It has a spay end so does not syphon out. Quite Impressed
As it needs to move about I have ignored the installation instructions to cut the supplied pipe down to make it a perfect fit. Be aware that there is an anti-syphon valve that closes when the pump is running but it is possible to it to start syphoning through the the valve when it is not closed under pressure and below the water level outside the water butt. Not a bid deal but disconcerting the first time it happens. Easy solution, make sure the valve is always above the water level.
The common battery is good, I have not discharged it yet during operation. The timer is useful. The first time you use it you can mentally note how much the water level drops in 10 minutes and you can leave it unattended when using as a transfer pump.
The water pressure is very good and easily operates a spray attachment on the end of a long hose.
One slight criticism. You are told in the comprehensive instructions (it is Bosch!) not to let the pump reach the bottom of the tank to prevent is pumping sludge. Therefore, why not incorporate some extendable feet to completely prevent it that could easily have been incorporated in the removable filter cap. If I have a 3D printed I would make one.
But overall a very nice product and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.
Hallo
Habe die Pumpe auch und die ist wirklich sehr gut.
Habe von fehlenden Kugeln gelesen und vorsichtshalber die Kugel gemessen,falls die mal verschwindet.
Also die Stahlkugel hat einen Durchmesser von 6,0 mm und dieses Kugeln sollte man bei Google oder bei einem Kugellager-Hersteller finden.Selbst beim Hersteller bekommt man Welche mit Sicherheit gnstig,wenn man da mal anruft und einfach mal nachfragt,ob er da helfen kann.
Ich hoffe,ich konnte helfen.
Alles angeschlossen und es funktioniert so wie ich es mir gedacht habe. Frderleistung ist gut und vorallem flexibel einsetzbar .
Pumpe leistet hervorragende Arbeit.Mit einem 4,0Ah Akku fast ne ganze Stunde.Pumpenleistung ist fr die Gre mehr als ausreichen.Sehr zu Empfehlen.
De momento muy bien. Con manguera muy larga q debe ser de 50 m tambin funciona. La batera de 2,5 me dura una media hora creo yo. Muy satisfecho de momento , ya veremos lo q dura…

Schn ist, da man keinen Elektroanschlu bentigt.
Die Wandhalterung fr den Akku mit Schalter ist eine sehr gute Idee. Der Anschluss ist damit sicher vom Wasser entfernt. Die Druckleistung ist sehr gut.
Die Pumpe ist Top. Saugleistung ist fr die Gre + Akku Betrieb hervorragend. Das einzige was mit nicht so gut gefllt ist die Schlauchhalterung da sie meines Erachtens viel zu gro ausfllt, aber das ist fr mich meckern auf hohem Niveau.

I’m so delighted with this rain water pump, it’s made the chore of watering the garden so much easier from our water butt. This comes with the battery included so it has everything you need to get started. You submerse it into the butt and once the hose is connected provides a very strong jet to water directly from the butt rather than having to fill numerous watering cans at a slow and laborious trickle pace!
This can either be left in place at the butt but personally I give the garden a good water and then disconnect it during these colder winter months but during the summer when it’s more in use I will be leaving connected for quickness as it won’t be exposed to the elements.
This is a great value kit and makes such a difference, especially for me as I struggle to lift a full watering can, this helps you save on water bills by being able to quickly use the water butt to water but without the annoyance of waiting for a trickle flow from the small tap it has. I don’t know how I’ve managed without one for so long! Highly recommended for any water butt users, adds a new level to watering! Easy to use and disconnect and reconnect as needed, amazing!
I am very happy with this pump.
Much stronger than my previous one and more powerful. I am mainly using it for pumping water up the rainwater storage tank to water the garden. It is very easy to use and looks like it’s built very well so hopefully should have a few years of use out of it. Cables are really long so plenty play without having to whip out the extensions. The largest hose connection which you can use is 32mm and I recommend using this size as it makes light work of what used to be a long job.
It is reliable and efficient. This pump is really powerful and does exactly what its designed to do. Timer function is very helpful and the battery that can be used in other bosh devices is a good idea.
Well Recommended!
This is a great little submersible pump for my water butt in the garden, it lets me transfer water from one place to another.
This is another great item from Bosch, its robust and well made and everything just flows so well.
I now water my plants from the gathered water which makes me feel like I’m not wasting water and could help people who have a water meter, especially over the summer months.

One thing I would say is I read you can use it all year round unless the weather freezes the water, to be honest, I’m gonna put mine away for the colder months as not to damage the pump.
Overall, a great product by bosch, great for saving water.
I would recommend this product.
The pump works perfect. It is very powerful. I have been impressed with the pressure. Very easy to use. The pump is perfect, it is quiet and can be set up very quickly. Battery included
When we bought our new house just before lockdown it came with a water butt in the garden at the back next to the shed. Unfortunately we’ve barely used it as it’s too much of hassle to collect the water and then use it to water the grass and flowers. This garden pump is the ideal solution as it lets me get the water anywhere I need to get it in the garden using the included hose. The pump works great, and I’ve attached the battery unit to the shed as it’s right next to it so this is an ideal solution for a water butt where you don’t have a readily available power source. It probably won’t get much use till summer now but so far it’s been doing a great job.
My Bosch Cordless Submersible Pump GardenPump 18 (1x Battery 2.5 Ah, 18 Volt System arrived well packed
and no damage was made .Well this is one of the best things that i have in my shed.This is a great water kit which
makes life so much easier if you don’t have electricity in your garden.The pump and accessories are easy to install and put together so you don’t have to be an engineer.I can say that i am impressed by the performance of this little pump.The best thing is that you can use other bosch battery if you have any drill or
something.The water stream after connecting 25 meters hose its impressive. For us its good that i can watering
the garden from the rain water butt.My wife use it with the sprinklers as well because she doesn’t want to stay
there to lose time she just set one of the three time settings and off she goes.The battery is a 2.5 ah which is not
to big but it is enough for a decent garden,but again if you have a drill or other bosch tool with a bigger battery you can use that one as well,you can use battery up to 6 Ah.I am very happy with my pump and i will recommend to all my friends.
Ich habe eine kleine Pumpe mir Akkubetrieb gesucht, welche in die ffnung der 1.000 Liter Behlter passt.
Pumpe passt, fr die Baugre gute Saugleistung. Zu empfehlen ist ein Akku mit 4 Ah !
Ok, this was a bit of a tongue in check kind of order, as I was not sure it would even work! We got a humongous inflatable pool for the kids last summer and having filled it using a hose and the outside tap, having added all the chlorine and maintained the quality of water over a period of time, it suddenly dawned on us that emptying it will be an issue, as it is way too far away from the drain, it is on an elevated ground, which means the drain is not even in its way, should we just.you knowdrain it “naturally”, it will flood the garden and as it is a whole load of chlorinated water that is not something my plants would appreciate, it will most likely kill my grass and the flowerssoit was left alone, killing the grass underneath ( oh well) and filling up with rain water, going a bitsmelly too..you get the gist basically. So, we figured out that a pump would do the trick if connected to a hose long enough to reach the drain. And then, as if by magic, this showed upso YEY! It came and it conquered! Seriously powerful machine! The drain could barely cope when all the water was pumped out, I did not expect so much force from a battery operated device! Needless to say, the pool was emptied in no time and now I no longer have an excuse for the kids not to change water, as we had a bit of a misfortunate accident in the pool at some point, but changing the water was out of the question, so cleaning was in order and more chlorinealthough I would now be just pumping the old water out and filling it up again with nice clean water for the pool to be enjoyed for much much longer!
Ok, this is not a cheap device, but it is as reliable and as powerful as they come, I’d say and since our pool endeavour, we have lent it to neighbours to empty their pools, ponds, etc. and it is still as good as new! So, although not cheap, it is a safe purchase!
A blessing at this time of year with the heavy rain and if you have rainwater butts in your garden — makes watering plants and pumping water from one butt to the next so much easier and time-efficient. The pump is most useful too in our case as we don’t have many power options out in the garden. Leaves you to direct your hose as you wish as the pump does all the heavy lifting of the water itself. Can be affixed permanently or temporarily.
Water pressure is pleasingly powerful. The battery life is great and the setup very economical to run too considering that it allows you to control how much watering you do. The set has an excellent build quality as expected from Bosch. Easy to assemble and dissemble. It’s one of those ‘makes your life easier’ devices that I would be very happy to recommend.

The Bosch Garden Pump 18 performed as advertised straight out of the box! It was the work of a few minutes to set it up in one of my (many) water butts. The 2bar pressure enabled a spray of at least 50 feet from an open hose, and emptied the butt in about 2 minutes. Whilst ideal for a “right good drenching”, that sort of pressure would not be appropriate for the delicate watering of pot plants. I have yet to establish whether the flow can be controlled using an adjustable nozzle, but assume that it can.
Next summer, I anticipate using this device extensively, to save me lugging buckets and watering cans from inside the house, as I don’t have an outside tap.
The “All 18” battery system common to a range of Bosch DIY power tools has potential to benefit those who don’t already own a range of power tools from a variety of manufacturers. It certainly has benefits for Bosch in reduced inventory and in encouraging brand loyalty.
Overall, a welcome addition to my tool kit.
Well, that’s an end to endlessly dipping the watering can into the water but. This cordless pump is extremely convenient and does exactly what it is meant to do with ease.
Quiet and easy to store.
The quality of the product is fantastic and if you do not have an outside tap or would just prefer to run off rainwater then this really is perfect for watering.
A great gift for gardeners and can also be used to empty paddling pools onto the garden. Brilliant!!
Das Teil macht was es soll.
mit 4A Akku kann man problemlos 800 Liter Regenwasser umpumpen oder gieen.
This is quite easy to set up and a great way to use water from your tank. It is a great addition to our garden and helps to attach it to water our plants.
We recently moved into a new house which already had a water butt installed as well as having a water meter. Until I got this pump system my only choice was to siphon water however the pressure was so low all it could be used for was in the borders and around the base of trees but with this Bosch rechargeable pump it now means I have got better than mains pressure water and I am not wasting good quality drinking water in the garden but I’m also paying for. It empties the large water but I have in around 15 minutes from completely full to empty and I have been using it to water the grass during this particular dry spell. Installation is really easy and includes a number of different options for how you want to mount both the control unit and the pump and also the water connector. Hi simply drilled a hole at the very top of the bottle to put in the standard hose lock style connector. The wiring for the pump is connected via one simple screw terminal so you can take it out over the cold winter months where the freezing water could damage the pump internals it also means that you can remove the main control unit from the wall when the unit isn’t in use.
This is a really well thought out solution and although it costs a reasonable amount over time you will certainly feel a lot better for using the rainwater rather than mains water and it is also arguably a lot better for the plants.
Very useful item for anybody who wants to use rainwater to water their garden and plants. This really helps save on the water bill and it has made a massive difference to us so definitely a fantastic investment.
Every part of this product feels really, really well-made as you would expect from Bosch, from the wall attachemnt to the pump itself it’s all top notch quality. It was really easy to attach to the wall and really easy to set up as easy as connecting everything up (hose to the pump and pump to the battery on the wall attachment) and voil, you’re done. Now, instead of using water from your water supply, you can use the rain water you have collected. It also has a timer function that works rather well but I personally like doing it myself as I find taking care of the garden quite therapeutic. If you own other Bosch products, they have this thing where all their batteries are the same so you can use your Bosch drill battery on the water pump which is actually really, really useful.
All in all, a fantastic investment and it’s so easy to install and use I’m sure other people will be encouraged to save water and simply use what they collect up when it rains. Very pleased, recommended.
The power of the jet when attaching a hose is quite impressive.
The fittings are compatible with Hozelock hoses.
Only recently purchased so can’t vouch for the longevity of this product yet.
Leistung des Akkus ist leider niedrig !
Voll geladen reicht es fr ca. 20 Minuten!
Danach ist erneutes Aufladen erforderlich !
Sinnvoll wre ein 2. Akku um dann Pumpe im Wechsel benutzen zu knnen !
Allerdings sind die Kosten fr einen
Ersatzakku recht hoch !!

Ergnzung nach ca. einem Jahr, Pumpe startete sehr unzuverlssig mit dem Einschalter. Die Power LED war aus. Die Zeit konnte aber gewhlt werden, das sah man an den entsprechenden LED’s. Ursache war eine kalte Ltstelle auf der Platine, wo der der Stecker zum Bedienteil daraufgesteckt wird. Problem wurde durch eigenes Nachlten behoben, es war dort sehr wenig Ltzinn vorhanden.

Habe die Pumpe fr meine Wiese gekauft um neu gepflanzte Bume zu Giesen ,leichtes aufbauen und ruck zuck kann man aus jeden Behlter mit einem Schlauch alles (Pumpen) Gieen.
Super Pumpe ,sehr gut mit Akku.
Die Pumpe ist sehr schnelle in Betrieb zu nehmen und ist klasse in der Pumpleistung.
Der “Kleine” Akku wird jedoch recht schnelle (45 Min.) leer.
Ich war ber die Pumpleistung berrascht, wie gut diese wirklich ist.
I used this Bosch pump since the last two days with a 4A battery. This pump is silent and enough power. From a rainwater tank of 310L, It extracts the water to a Gardena micro drip used for the garden.
The only remark I have is that the battery even a power4all 18v but with a newer model incompatible with the one of a cordless drill driver. By the way, it also requires a new battery charger too
Diese Pumpe kann man schnell und berall zum Einsatz bringen.Sie hat eine gute Leistung.
Klein aber leistungsstark, durchdacht und praktisch, Standard-18V-Akku auch fr andere Gerte verwendbar. Tolles Preis-,Leistungsverhltnis – halt BOSCH-Qualitt !
Ich bin sehr zufrieden, ich Pumpe mein IBC Fass hinterm Haus um in die Kleineren Fsser. Dafr ist die Pumpe Perfect,sie ist leise und lsst sich super schnell ab und aufbauen.
