Customer Reviews

Every gardener should have one of these.
Having lots of waterbutts around the garden, the hozelock pump is such a necessity. Makes light of all that watering and using rainwater saves on the water bill.

Pretty good pump.
Value for money, this is a great pump. Flow rate is ok, but at this price you wouldn't expect much more. I was impressed by the length of the cable which meant I didn't need an extension cable (unlike some products where they cut corners on stuff like that).

Hozelock 3n1 Water Butt Pump
A handy quick solution for being able to use a hose pipe from your water butt.
Its quick and easy to set up as it comes complete with a generous length of mains cable, a quick release hose connecter like the one you would most likely have on your outdoor tap. All you have to do is clip your hose pipe to it, lower it down to the bottom of your water butt and plug it in.
As for priming, the first time I used mine it took about 2 minutes before the water started dribble slowly out of the hose pipe.
After another 30 seconds just as I was thinking that I must have got a dud, the water suddenly shot out with some force.
I have now used it a number of times since and it has always come on at full pressure straight away.

It is quiet in operation while giving enough pressure to be able to use attachments on your hose for watering the garden such as sprinkers etc. Its limitations are that when washing the car, it won't quite drive car washing attachments such a rotating brush properly.
A good thing is if I use a high pressure jet wash, it serves well for feeding water into that, before getting the pump I did try to syphon water from my water butt to the high pressure jet wash without much success, so its been very handy for that.
