Dolphin Water Pump 8080-T Water Dispenser

Works well and makes it easier to get eTer from the large jars.00

I choose my title to emphasize that I did not have any shipping problems. It wouldn't surprise me if the owner of the company read the previous post and has made corrections to shipping. This is SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT I very highly recommend this to anyone. I get bottled water because sometimes the tap water does not taste right. I had bought a water dispenser that dispenses hot and cold water. I immediately regretted buying one of those devices becaue of the very slow water delivery. You have to bend down and hold your cup in position for a while, sometimes while operating the safety device for hot water. So, you have to hold your cup in one hand, and push those tiny buttons at the same time. THIS PUMP AVOIDS ALL THOSE PROBLEMS. The water flows very quickly out of the device. I don't even like drinking cold water, so I prefer that it not be refrigerated. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, I don't have to try to invert that huge 5 gallon bottle over an electic unit, trying not to get water all over the place. I HATE LOADING THE ELECTRIC UNITS! I also have a bad back and I'm female, I don't have the strength and have to ask hubby to do it. On the contrast, with the pump, you don't have to invert any bottles at all. And it is very easy to mount the pump. You just set the bottle on a counter and screw on the pump. I bought sturdy a 30" high wooden cabinet from Michaels. I think it cost $25 and I stained and sealed it. I can put my drink mixers in there, ie., lemonade, coffee, tea, etc. So it is easy to find a stand for the pump and bottle if you want one. I recommend the Michaels cabinet over any of the custom stuff bought on line. Regarding the quality of the pump, I've only had the product for 1 month now, but this pump seems very sturdy and it functions very well. Water comes out fast, minimal pumping required. It is easy to pump this pump.

This pump works awesome! It pumps out water at a very reasonable rate and without much effort. The tube goes all the way to the bottom but I do have to angle it slightly just because the jug is convex at the bottom but I'd still say a perfect fit. It's 100% manual which is what I wanted since I didn't want to have to charge something or replace batteries and if the world ends, this thing will still work :DI didn't like having the jug on the angled rack and it took up almost a whole counter. It was annoying. I also didn't want some large dispenser taking up floor space. This "lil" pump made for the perfect compromise with the smallest foot print possible and I have over 3/4 of my counter now.I have an AmericanMaid 5 gallon jug I gather came from Walmart (my girl's brother got it years ago). I also bought some caps off here specifically for it which do not work BUT this pump fits and seals proper. I only mention that since there have been some reviews about issues w/ the AmericanMaid jugs.100% satisfied and I finally am willing to fill this 5 gallon jug and lug it to/from my car (things are heavy when they're full ) :D

The product was as advertised on the listings. However when I installed it on the bottle, the stem was too long and had to cut that down by 1.5 inches, then the part will not seal correctly. each time it is tightened it would 'snap' and loosen again. I had to run to Lowes and get a pipe clamp and rubber gasket material and wrap the 'throat' of the bottle. that sealed it and its not wobbly. The other issue I had was when I tried to prime the tube. it took over 30 pumps but then it would not hold the prime. I ended up taking one link off and that worked, but it will be a problem when the bottle gets to half full. Unless you are willing to add time to just pumping and modifications, then I do not recommend this product. since I cut the tube, I guess I cannot return it so I'm stuck with it.Revisited. I plussed it up to 4 stars after I tinkered with it some by watching the one I bought from Walmart for the bottle I bought for Primo worked. I used a 3" hose clamp, tightened the throat of the pump around the neck of the bottle to give it a solid seal. NOW it works very well, but not as good as the Primo pump but pretty good. I didn't have to use the stuff I got at Lowe's and was able to return only one of the items. so before you do anything and get a bunch of stuff or don't want to take the time to return it, use a 3" hose clamp. It worked like a champ

This product is great, I love it. It is SO easy to use, it does not store water in the pump so it stays clean, and I could not be happier. If I had purchased it straight from the company which Amazon got it from, I would have paid $10 less, but I know that Amazon keeps my identity safe, and my credit card numbers, so I was willing to spend the extra money. The other site seems legitimate, but it does not have any security seals and so the price difference is the price of your safety. The shipping was slow, but it did make it to me on the last day it was allowed; just took a while to get it out of the warehouse. This was the best investment I have made in a while, it is now very easy to drink water, it is kind of fun, and I can take it almost anywhere because it is small compared to all of the alternatives. I could easily use this camping, it would be a luxury on a camping trip, but right now I have it in my dorm room.Update 5 years later:This product is still great, we use it all the time to pump water out of a 5 Gallon jug. I cut the extender down to size so that it would work without leaving two inches of water in the bottom. This pump is high quality, it has not shown any signs of wearing out yet, and it is still clean and leaving the water as tasteless as before the pump. Lowest maintenance pump you will find.
