Powerful, fast pump with two fatal design flaws
This pump seems like a good design for pumping out bilge water occasionally without fitting a permanent bilge pump. Unfortunately it has two flaws. First of all, the supplied hose is useless. Because it is designed to roll up flat, it kinks extremely easily and blocks the flow of the water. I found it impossible to route the water from the bilge to a nearby sink drain. I went to a chandlery and bought some flexible hose that fit perfectly. With the new hose, the pump worked fine and produced a fast, reasonably high pressure flow. However, the second design flaw kicked in. The pump has a very small intake with a thin filter with tiny holes. Any debris in the water is immediately sucked up against the pump and blocks the flow. If your bilge has any leaves, paper or any other debris it quickly blocks the pump. I cleared it over and over again, but after about 30 minutes of use the pump burned out because of all the blockages. The pump might work better with a large metal mesh filter that would allow some debris to stick without completely blocking the entrance. I'm sending the dead pump back and looking for another emergency bilge pump solution.

Great for cleaning up livewells
I grab live-bait, usually mackerel, before heading out to catch striper and tuna. Once in a while, a "bleeder" gets in and fowls up the water. I'm usually pretty careful not to put them in, but hey, sometimes they just get in. I got tired of using a bucket to clear up the bloody water, so i bought this little do-dad. Fantastic. I can cycle that water super fast by hooking it up to the battery terminals and flushing out the side. Works like a champ. Safe for the bait too. An added bonus, it chums the water at the same time :D

seems like a toy, but performs well
when bought this thing, i expected for it to be a little bigger. as we received it, the first impression was like being receiving a toy. despite this, when used, it performs in good condition, according to its price. Not awesome, not bad, good enough for working as a backyard hose

Why didn't I get one of these before?
Don't know why I didn't get one of these years ago. Sure makes cleaning the boat nice now, no buckets dipped in the lake... Will use it to drain my pond next time I go to clean it out.

The iL500 pump rules.
The Rule iL500PK is being used to transfer collected rain water from 55 gal. drums. The pump itself works great but the hose is a pain during operations. It kinks very easily.

Does what it's supposed to do
Amazing little pump, good volume and flow, simple to set up, pumps water well, haven't tried diesel fuel, but it's rated for it. If all products worked this well, we'd have a lot less wasted resources!
