Red Lion RLMPDP 14942013 154 GPH Drill Powered Transfer Pump, Black

It works great at a nice price.

Not much to say -- picked up this pump to help drain a 40 gallon water heater. The pump started fine -- water flow was relatively meager. But, after 10 minutes of running, the pump stopped. Reviewing the pump, small bits of black rubber were inside, apparently from the seals on the pump. This might be fine for a very small job, but for more than a few gallons it's not worth it.

First attempt, used on a battery drill operated (not recommended by red lion) worked perfectly fine though, however the pump became noticeably hot to touch after pumping only 6 gallons. Second attempt I used a corded drill with lines primed with water, 15 seconds into trying to pump water I noticed a smell of burning rubber. Sure enough pump began smoking. Corded drills are recommended however this garbage couldn't even withstand the heat being produced. Save your money!

I originally bought this to winterize my camper then found out there is a bypass line on the pump, kept it as I thought it could come in handy, I ended up using it to flush my fish tank, flow is alright, took about 4 minutes for 20 gallons, I’m sure it would be faster with a corded drill, I was using makita brushless drill for reference

I bought the unit to us draw water from a shallow wall a long way from the house so I used my battery powered drill. It barely worked. I haven’t used my 110 v drill yet so I’m hoping it will do better.
