Gusher Pantry 59397 Pump Mk III

Great

Thanks

I installed this foot pump in an older Aliner pop up camper that we have. Formerly, I had a noisy electrical pump to bring water from a simple container through a faucet and into a sink that I installed. This camper did not come with a sink or a water system so I created one on a budget. I thought that the convenience of an electric pump would be nice and I didn't want a foot pedal in the way of our small interior. Happily, the foot pedal is not much of a tripping hazard. It's easy to avoid and doesn't stick out as far as I had thought. We haven't had any problems falling over it. We don't often plug in while camping. Preferring to boondock and be off the grid, I didn't think about the amount of power that an electric pump utilized. Our tiny solar system and battery would give out after a day or two in the woods with minimal electrical pump use. This was a bummer while washing dishes, cooking or brushing teeth. Having this foot pump has really made life easier! This manual pump puts out a very strong flow and it produces a stream both on the down pump and also when the foot lever goes back up. Essentially it's double-actioned and you get two spurts of water for every single foot pump. It's also very easy to use. I imagined that it might take some heavy priming with strenuous action prior to any flow but that is not the case. The pedal depresses easily and starts to flow after only 1 or 2 foot pumps if the line is not primed with water already. Once the water line is primed with water it works immediately even after sitting unused for many hours. It's much quieter than a noisy electric pump. I used to cringe when camping near others if I woke up early and wanted to fill a kettle for hot water in the morning. The electric pump we had would rattle and roar at an alarming volume and could be heard from a good distance outside of our camper. No more! This foot pump is terrific. It's low tech, solidly built, easy to install, works quietly and has strong flow rate. It does cost more than an electric pump but it allows for a smaller solar / battery setup which is often a large expense for a DIY camper or van install. Being able to use it without any power at all is a huge perk too. I like the simplicity of this setup. I love not using up my limited battery power. I highly recommend this manual foot pump for a simple kitchen camper setup!

Works a charm. Does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Pompe très bien et solide

Nun schon seit 3 Jahren im Einsatz bei uns im Camper. Alles top!

This is the first foot pump I've ever used, so bare in mind I can't compare it to other foot pumps. It was easy to install as the screw slots make it easy to adjust and get a solid fit. Hooking the pump up to the (not included) PAX lines was also simple. Remember to buy hose clamps so you don't get any leaks. Using the pump, it takes a bit of downward force to get the water flowing. After a bit of practice I figured out how much pumping was needed to get the right amount of water. I'm glad that purchased this pump because I can see how much water this will save me when compared to "normal" pressurized water system. I'd buy this item again
