Wow!!! This thing can MOVE water!!!! It will easily POP a shop-vac hose on the outlet side. I kinda wish there was a speed slower than idle so my hoses would stay together, lol. A 20ft shop-vac hose will stretch another 3ft under the pressure and little jets of water will shoot up. I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy an outlet hose. :D

3.5 gallons of water every second boggles the imagination until you see what kind of forces we're talking about!

The shop-vac hose works fine for the intake side though. A little electrical tape seals the deal. No priming or anything like that.... Just fill the pump with water from a gallon milk jug, plop the intake hose in the water, fire it up and hang on!

The engine runs nice and is relatively quiet. The labels were backwards for the choke and throttle which made it a little confusing when I first fired it up, but no big deal. I'm just tickled pink I can move THAT much water for $200!!! I tried one of those $80-$90 electrical pumps first. I suppose they would be ok to empty a fish tank, but for a pool or pond.... Forget about it. Twice the price I'm moving 100 times the water!

I was a little worried since I've never heard of PowerMax before, but it seems to be every bit as good as a Briggs so far.... They look a lot alike too.

Shipping was super fast. Got it 2 days earlier than I thought.

This pump gets a 5 star rating because it costs $220, it is not contractor quality. I have used it 4 times over the past 2 years. Warning = the hoses & fittings for the pump cost more than the pump itself. If your a homeowner who needs a high volume pump once in a while, you wont find a better deal.

The engine starts ok but the pump will not pick up the water that is only one foot lower than the pump even after priming it. I guess I,m stuck with it because amazon.com will not take anything back that is a gas proudct!
