can this pump be used for drinking water?

I called the manufacturer and they said the pump is not made to transfer potable (drinking) water.

I use it for pumping water into 55 gallon food grade barrels and then when need into my campers holding tank. actually as pump for my campers water system-no i think it would work but you would need a pressure switch to activate. i don't believe its as durable a water pumps that are designed for campers . but i'm sure it would work. I hope i answered your question. jerry m

I don't, but i see no reason why it could not be used for pumping drinking water.

I would contact the manufacturer about that specifically, but I don't see why not. We use it to empty our yard when it floods so it sits in inches of water and pumps it at a good speed.

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump. Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

I don't see why not. There is nothing but metal and plastic in the construction, so I would have no trouble (personally) drinking water that had been run through it. Of course, I would run some bleach through it first, just to be sure.

If just used for refrigerator, it would be overkill, but yes, it would work magnificently! Mine is two years old now, on my third set of filters. Very satisfied with drinking quality of water.

No it can not. I have that pump it just has enough power to run a drip system. And not that well .

The pump is a submersible pump. It's intake is so large that I don't think you could use it out of water if you tried.

This machine uses a large, 5 gallon bottle of purified drinking water. Based on your question, I think that you are looking for something different.

I don't know for sure has I have never tried it for this purpose. I will say that this would probably NOT be the best apparatus to use for this, as this device did cause a certain amount of water to spill out while it was being pumped. This is no big deal for water ... probably would be for gasoline.

I would think so, although I will not purchase another one. I have filtered well water and it does not perform well, we have to press the start button twice to get a full cup of coffee.

No thy only used for syphon bad gas or full if u got a bad gas line that leaks only not for drinking water it's not made for items like that

You probably could but I would use a plastic container as the metal will effect the taste if you want the water to drink. But for non consumable water it would be great, a little pricey though...

Yes, it works great just filling up the water from the top. You can then use filtered water if you want.

If you can already drink the water from the tap, you can probably use it, but you are probably best off contacting the manufacturer

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold water Use cold water only!!

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

Since this pump does not use electricity it should work. You would need to manually turn on the water faucet you've hooked it up to for it to suction water.
