I'm overjoyed as I finally found a cheap, low wattage and effective water pump with good enough head flow / psi pressure for drippers! No more ineffective, expensive and high wattage fountain or sump pumps that only hold 5psi pressure if that!
Harbor freight just started selling a 1/10 HP transfer pump. I was looking at paying $80 plus for the exact same pump design from Amazon or homedepot as it's an off the shelf chinese pump that everyone sells but harbor freight has not only the cheapest, but the nicest looking one fit, finish and spec wise for way less at only $55 a pump.
The pump is only 2 amps but holds over 20psi of pressure and is rated at 360gph. You could easily run 100 .5 gph drippers on just one of these little 2a pumps. Harbor freight just started carrying these beauties too!
