Review on 🔧 SHURflo Industrial Pump 2088-594-154 - 198 GPH, 115V, 1/2in - High-performance Pump for Industrial Applications by Alton Walton

I bought this pump to replace another pump I bought from Revain that failed within a month. I liked this one because it's a diaphragm, not impellers. Appears to be well built. Surprisingly, this pump is much quieter than the previous one. Fills itself and moves liquid quickly. As many people have pointed out, threaded connections are technically 1/2" male NPT threads. However, Shurflo forms them in such a way that they want to sell you their connectors. became harsh as if the threads were wrong. Care must be taken as the Pump fittings are molded plastic and can break.My final solution was to go to Tractor Supply and get proper plastic threaded fittings.These fittings were still snug to get in and I took great care not to tangle the threads.I used carefully used a wrench to fit them while holding the pump body to try and minimize stress on it.I tightened them up and connected them to my hoses and they were all permanently fixed./wired No leaks and works fine.
