Deluxe Manual Drinking Water Pump for 5 Gallon Bottle Water with Handle and Air Release Button

The negative reviews here don't explain why it "sucks" (or rather, doesn't suck) so here's the problem. The more popular manual pump selling on Amazon through various retailers (a darker blue type with no handle) uses a different silicone fitting to seal off the water jug opening, and trying out both, I prefer the other model to this one. What's the difference? This water pump's silicone sealing device seals at the very top of the jug, relying on the screwing piece to provide downward pressure and seal off escaping air. The problem with that is that the screwing piece is supposed to create inward pressure on the jug opening, not downward pressure.The other dark-blue pump without the handle uses a silicone piece that goes around the jug opening like a bottle cap does, creating a seal over and around thee opening. The screwing portion of that pump then works MUCH better than this model since its inward pressure is what's sealing in the pressurized air, not just the downward pressure onto the top portion of the silicone. If this company were to switch the silicone sealing piece to one that goes around the opening as well, it would work way better.TL;DR; this model loses pressure and pumps less water because the silicone seal just seals off the top of the opening instead of the top and sides.

would be much better with a battery, but for temporary use it ok

This pump would not pull the water out of the 5 gallon bottle. An absolute waste of money. This product is not even worth sending back for a refund. Very surprised Amazon is selling such a poor product.

broke with in a week

It's exactly what i needed.

It is cheaply made. Not very functional. Not worth the effort to even get a refund. I DO NOT recommend this to ANYONE
