Bosch Cordless Submersible Water Pump GardenPump 18V-2000 Extension Kit (with Wall and Tank attachments and 2.5 m Garden Hose, in Carton Packaging)

I have some large water buts with relatively small holes at the top and was looking for a mains transfer pump when I saw this. It works perfectly.As it needs to move about I have ignored the installation instructions to cut the supplied pipe down to make it a perfect fit. Be aware that there is an anti-syphon valve that closes when the pump is running but it is possible to it to start syphoning through the the valve when it is not closed under pressure and below the water level outside the water butt. Not a bid deal but disconcerting the first time it happens. Easy solution, make sure the valve is always above the water level.The common battery is good, I have not discharged it yet during operation. The timer is useful. The first time you use it you can mentally note how much the water level drops in 10 minutes and you can leave it unattended when using as a transfer pump.The water pressure is very good and easily operates a spray attachment on the end of a long hose.One slight criticism. You are told in the comprehensive instructions (it is Bosch!) not to let the pump reach the bottom of the tank to prevent is pumping sludge. Therefore, why not incorporate some extendable feet to completely prevent it that could easily have been incorporated in the removable filter cap. If I have a 3D printed I would make one.But overall a very nice product and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

Had my doubts about such a product before purchasing, but I have to say it exceeds my expectations. Very well engineered (as you would expect from Bosch) and performs very well. I use it to pump water from a water butt to my polytunnel through 50 metres of hose, which it does with no problem and delivers a very good flow rate. You have to buy a battery seperately and my only regret is only buying a 2Ah one rather than a 4Ah as it does run down fairly quickly. However overall I firmly recommend it.

Very pleasantly surprised by this product it worked straight from the box so simple to put together didn’t need a charge just plug and play, I had been using my normal expanding hose prior to arrival so I set this up in my water butt and attached my hose which extends to 100 feet under pressure and found very little difference in the mains pressure and the pump pressure there was a slight drop in the pumps pressure but very minimal it pulled the water from the butt and pushed it 100 feet to my adjustable hose nozzle and sprayed my garden just as good as the mains water. Still reaching a good distance, only downside was it certainly empties a 100 litre butt very fast could not believe how much water disappeared from the butt and only used it for a couple of minutes as a trial test certainly need more rain to fill my 4 butts if it empties them that quick I cannot fault this product bought as used but it looked brand new in box from Amazon works perfectly at a exceptionally good price I was expecting a good quality product being a Bosch and wasn’t disappointed it’s a brilliant product does exactly what it says it does and comes complete as per pictures you only need a hose with normal fittings and a water source eg butts or pond rivers etc excellent buy

Can be extended by up to 40' long. Water pressure coming out on a level very good. Ive used to put water 'up' to a level of 6' higher. Output at that level very good. Needs the more powerful battery to do this. Im using a 4. The only drawback that could be sorted by the manufacture is around the sieve on the bottom to strain the debris from getting in, it comes off to easily. So ensure that the pump is near where you can retrieve it when it 'slips' off.

Small and tidy. Easy to use. We have to collect our own water at the allotments and this product has made watering my polytunnel and greenhouse so much easier. I did purchase a 4ah battery to supplement the 2.5ah that comes with it and glad I did . Also a 30 meter hose. Money well spent.

Excellent way to pump water from your rain water butt to water your garden plants during the current dry conditions.

Really very good product. Dose what it should but very pricey and you don’t always get the things in the box you think you’re going to

Pleased with performance and waterflow. Using as field pump from a horse trough to wet down horses on hot days to cool them down - they love it!
