FSP350CR

Brilliant item. Much more powerful than my old 'branded' one. It's great that it cuts off when the barrel is empty, the height of cut off can be easily adjusted. My old pump burnt out because I forgot it was on and the barrel was empty. Highly recommend this product.

Works well , and a fair price.

I bought this to replace a pump in a rainwater storage tank that had failed. It is very good, well made and easy to use. It has sufficient pressure to use a hand spray attachment on a hose even when pumped from 1 metre underground. The pump also works using water butts. Note that many other pumps on sale are designed for larger diameter commercial hoses and not garden hoses.

We have now brought two of these for water butts. But have also used to empty a spa. Good powerful flow. Simple control to turn water on and off, plus float control to stop running dry

I have only used this once, but I am impressed. It was easy to set up. It attaches well to hozelock type attachments. I made sure the valve was set to open when I submerged it in the waterbutt and it started immediately. It was not as heavy as I had feared which means I can easily transfer it between waterbutts in the front and back gardens. The pressure from my very long hose was easily adequate. There was leakage from the joint at the handle but this disappeared when I put a washer (supplied). I would have liked an on/ off switch but so far that is my only quibble. I will come back if I have problems.

Having to send this straight back today after receiving it yesterday. Couldn’t build the poles as one of the connectors wouldn’t fit anything! Totally useless. Even went to a hardware store to try and buy an alternative connector to join the extension poles together but the guy in the shop said absolutely nothing will fit it as it’s clearly been packed with the wrong piece. He really tried hard to find an alternative connector so I didn’t have to send it back but nothing would fit. Bought this specifically to go in my water butt so I could hook it over to attach a hose with ease. Having to send it back now for a refund without even an option to replace. Was looking forward to using it at the weekend. Gutted. It looks like a good pump too other than the poles not fitting together.

I liked this pump very much. Worked perfectly for my needs - essentially pumping from water-butt to rose bed etc. But on the third use it failed. Just nothing. No hints, just dead. I’m not sure how much water I could have bought for £53, but I suspect it’s a lot. I now have to use the garden tap again, and then find some other way of pumping from the butt. I can’t afford to replace this item. Very very very disappointed. And when I checked the invoice - it was shipped from China, so there is nothing I can do for warranty. Avoid. Since that review, the supplier sent me a new pump free of charge, and this has worked perfectly. It was such a good service from them, that I now regret my negative comments above. There was no request to return the faulty one, and the replacement arrived VERY quickly. I must have just had one rogue unit, which has now been replaced. I’m very pleased.

Tried this first with just the normal hosepipe. No problem getting the water through but not as powerful as it would be connected to the normal outside tap. Good enough though if you are just watering plants. Connected it up to the pressure washer and it was fine. So, overall, I guess it does what it says on the tin but is lacking a bit in power. But at 350 Watts, probably to be expected.
