Lanchez 1 HP Portable Stainless Steel Sprinkler Pump, 1294 GPH, 115V, Black

I received this item shortly after I ordered it. But when I tested it, it gave me a low GPM like 4-5 GPM. I contacted the seller who was very responsive and helped me figure out what's the problem. Then they finally decided to send me a replacement which I received today.I will try it this weekend and come back to update, but for the great customer service, I will give them a 5-star.

reasonably quiet, efficient, and effective. Works exactly as described

Great pump, easy to prime. I pump water around 160' from my pond to my garden with a lift around 18' and this pump works great.

This thing is powerful for the price

Had a 1hp similar pump for years that quit. This one pushes more water than the old one. It will operate two lawn sprinklers 30 feet above lake level. If it lasts as long as the other pump, I will be pleased

In my travels I see these Chinese pumps sold all over the world and have owned this specific pump almost a year connected to a 3600 gallon Rainwater Cistern that is used for irrigation.THE GOOD.1) With an attached pressure regulator to a on/off switch, I can regulate pressure up to 65 max psi. I can pump 225/gal hour at 45psi to support 6 simultaneous sprinkler heads for up to 800 sq.ft coverage. Low Noise.THE BAD:1) No Warranty. NO PARTS. Cannot Contact Seller or Manufacturer. Web Site is fake. No Customer Service.2) Power cord undersized for current load. Cord size measures not quite 16 guage (17 guage). Pump draws 9 amps. The factory cord will likely not last more than a year before starting to overheat the motor. Before installing my pump, I replaced the factory cord with a 14 guage power cord designed for 12 amps. I found this design flaw (undersized power cords) common with pumps from China.3) Pipe fittings and pump case fittings are NOT NPT (Tapered Thread). They are NPS (Straight Thread). NPS requires a flange, o-ring, or washer to seal. I read numerous complaints about leaks, especially leaks at the head. The nuts inside the cover for small fittings is not 100% sealed to the cover. Threads are NPS. You must use a flange or o-ring to seal against the outside of the cover and compress the cover to the nut. This is a very common problem with this thin walled stamped Stainless Steel head design.. The 1" NPS output is going to require a lot of sealant and torque to seal to an NPT pipe. AGAIN, NPT and NPS are incompatible. Difficult to seal.4) Poor Assembly. Pump cover Allen head screws were not evenly torqued. Cover leaked. This was easily corrected by loosening all nuts and slowly retightening to a snug fit in an even cross hatch fashion.5) NO PARTS available. Impeller and Diffuser inside pump are inexpensive plastic and would be very easy to replace if they became distorted from heat over time or in case a low water switch fails and they overheated or cracked from freezing, which happened to me in Texas Feb 2021 with loos of power for a heat lamp. I cannot order a replacement part.The inexpensive list price of this pump is bait. I don't have the time to deal with issues like this. It is just not worth it.MB - Austin, TX

Works great to water our gardens from small creek along our property. Saves water in our well. Can run it as long as needed. Also had to use my first one when I had water in my basement.

Everything works as expected. I had to wire it up myself. Not a problem. But the port on the bottom for expansion tanks is not threaded by any standard threading. I tried brass and PVC 3/8" and both seem to fit perfectly, but under pressure it sprays/leaks excessively. This didn't happen with my previous pump. The cap that comes with it fits and doesn't leak. So I have no idea why. But there is 0 documentation on the exact size of those threads or what the solution would be...

I know it'll work to replace my old water pump. My boyfriend says I don't know what I'm talking about
