Good pumping capacity but unfortunately extreme smell (not to mention stink :()

I have chosen this pump because I like to support local manufacturers. Then I also do not look at the last decimal place of the amount. When unpacking fell but an extreme smell of "China Rubber" to which I otherwise know only from cheap products from the Far East. Since I use the pump only outside the house, I decided to keep it anyway.

Unfortunately connection was not suitable for the usual G ***** connections. Because I was not ready to specific Anschlusschlauch / adapter from Kärcher to buy, I also could not get hold of in the area, I have modified the connection yourself :) Well fits my garden hose on it and I do not need "Microsoft version" as I call something like ,

They performed their duty to convey our rainwater from the barrel on the terrace one floor up wonderful, and very silently. You have to pay close attention if she does not run the :)

If the smell and the compulsion to buy any special connections or destruction of the warranty would not have been had the product 5 stars deserves, but so, unfortunately, only. 3
