Disappointment
Date:March 17, 2013
Here's the deal.
I bought this pump a couple of years ago to water my garden. Over the last 2 years, I've used it maybe 12 times. I've NEVER run it dry. It's kept dry and I always cleaned it after each use. Now, it works about 20% of the time, if at all. The engine is ok. The actual "pump" is a hunk of junk. It's impossible to prime and a complete hassle. I'm not sure why Red Lion is the only brand TSC carries. My gut said pass on it from the get-go but I bought it anyway. Now I wish I'd listen to my "gut". I"m on line now, looking for a replacement pump. You can bet it won't be a Red Lion.

Good Pump--Some Problems
Date:December 30, 2012
I can't give is an excellent rating due to some problem--s I've had. Starter rope has broke 4 times in less than 1 month of use. I replaced the rope with what I thought was better quality, but still breaks. Have checked and smoothed the entry / exit point, but still tears the rope. Also have had trouble with keeping the pump running for extended times. One day it will run like a champ and the next it will quit in a bout 5 minutes. Thought it may be low oil, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Will return ynder the warranty and try a different one, may just have a bad one?

Good pump with a few issues.
Date:October 13, 2012
I am giving this pump an average rating even though I have pumped over 1,000,000 gallons with it this summer. The pump itself seems to be of very high quality. What keeps me from giving a good rating is that the engine quality of some of the components leaves much to be desired. In the first 8 hours of running the spark arrestor fell off. The starter rope also broke after 25 tank fills. When I first bought it, I had to restart the engine several times before it would keep running. I later found out that the reason I was having to restart it was because the gas cap wasn't venting properly. I soon learned to leave the gas cap somewhat loose and it worked much better. Even now that I know the issues with it I would still buy it because of the low cost and the one year over the counter warranty should anything major happen. I would have preferred to buy the hose for this pump from tractor supply, but my local stores were just not competitive with a major online retailer.

Great Spring Pool Cover Pump
Date:May 19, 2012
I received this as a Birthday present this year. I have been using a small sump pump to remove the water from my pool cover. I would take me 3 to 4 hours to remove all the water so I could pull the winter cover off. With this pump it only took me 50 minutes to remove all the water. Wished I would have bought one of these years ago. Great unit!!! P.S. It also started on the very first pull.

Great Pump for the Price
Date:June 13, 2011
I bought this online and had it shipped to local TSC store. Had never heard of a Red Lion engine but it looks very similar to a Honda. Fired right up and ran like a champ. Three hours on a tank of fuel. I am very happy with the pump. Had to buy a couple small extensions to allow connections to the inlet and outlet due to poor clearance with the frame. Small problem easily fixed.

not quite the same pump, but mine is excellent
Date:August 21, 2010
you've changed brands but my comparable water pump bought last year is terrific--will suck my water source dry given the chance. I use it for yard and garden watering and have throttled it down to a 1 inch pick-up hose and it is great--easy starting and runs w/o a hitch. Durable too!!
