Easy Water Transfer from Drums & Jerry Cans
One of the biggest advantages of this pump is its slim, submersible design.
Instead of manually lifting and pouring a heavy water container, simply place the pump inside a suitable drum or jerry can and connect a hose to the 10 mm outlet.
The pump can then transfer water to a compatible sink, portable shower or another container.
For best performance, keep the pump submerged during operation and ensure the hose is free from kinks or restrictions.
