Exactly as described in the reviews of previous buyers the part has an inexplicable life of its own. Since after my research currently is the only rain barrel pump with automatic switch in brand quality, I had opposed the numerous bad reviews yet overcome me to buy. As usual, the delivery of Amazon came immediately. First, the appearance of the device makes a solid impression, just as I would expect from this manufacturer, The assembly also went slightly out of hand. First, the pump did not what it was built. The water pressure is despite 30 mtr. Hose length very good, the ventilation of the pump and hose went without problems solely by the high flow rate. First, the friends was so big. Already after one hour of engine switched on and off at irregular intervals during which no water was nevertheless tapped and all compounds were fired close. A call to the manufacturer revealed that would be cycled only caused by a pressure drop downstream of the pump. So I re-examined all connections without a leak was discovered. After re-power connector, the scenario of sporadic switching on and off repeatedly. I read the pump allow about an hour, hoping the problem would take care of itself after a while. Now it has its Service set completely, and can no longer even after a long pause on. Obviously this device has structural defects that are likely to be known by the manufacturer for a long time. I thought under this brand name to obtain a mature product. Luckily, there are a more than fair at Amazon customer service, so I let myself in an experiment with a replacement, this is probably to get a pump with the same defects in the feeling.
