Veaton 350W Submersible Water Butt Pump, 4000L/H Rain Barrel Pump With 8M Cable, Auto/Manual Modes, Drainage For Tank Pond Pool Cellar And Hot Tub

Very impressed with 1st use. Easy to set up. Good weight, sinks well and float is good. Attached a long hose pipe, very good pressure to use spray attachment. OK not same as tap pressure but more than adequate to water garden. Nice long cable. No leaks. Recommend. Quick delivery too.

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.

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.

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.

Worked well for 4 weeks, then it started tripping all electrics in the house. Every time we turned it on fuse box flipped off. Would not recommend
