Product ReviewsGiantz Petrol Water Pump 2" High Flow Water Transfer Fire Fighting Irrigation

Great value

An 8hp pump for that much? Seems too good to be true.
You do get a 4-stroke petrol pump. Mine worked first pull after filling up with fuel & oil. Perfect as an entry-level fixed firefighter to drive sprinklers and hoses around the house. What’s the catch? The chassis is flexy and the fittings supplied are cheap plastic - throw them away. The outlet thread is a bit rough and only suitable to a barbed nut & tail type fitting that has a washer inside the nut as the thread has a section of the thread shaved off so no amount of thread tape will seal it.
These are small negatives compared to the bang for your buck. I will be happy if it gives me more than 3 years service.Read full review...

Giant 2in water pump

It was gushing out fuel when I first fired it up. Took off fuel tank. Cross threaded into tank. Put in correctly. Also supplied fitting very weak. Weight of hose broke screw on fitting. Recommend good heavy fittings. Apart from that it pumps great. Doing about 90 metre and up3m. Fills water pop 1000 ltr in about 10 mins. Read full review...

Great quality pump for bargain price.

I use this pump every week for through winter around 20 hours emptying excess storm water. It pumps water through 2 inch lay flat hose for a distance of around 100 meters. Works perfectly and is as good as any brand name pump. Starts first pull of the cord every time. The price is a bargain and shipping is super fast. Highly recommend this pump. The quality is very very good.Read full review...

A little beauty

Wanted something priced modestly for only very occasional use to pump out silt from water tanks. Could hardly believe that I could get it for the price (including delivery). Was familiar with the type of engine which I have on a number of other types of equipment and which have always served me well. Just had to fill it with oil and petrol, prime the pump and it started first pull as I was confident it would. I operated it at around 70% revs and it moved a hell of a lot of water pretty quickly. The best buy I've made in a long time.Read full review...

Cheap and cheerful, comes with built-in faults.

Satisfactory product, but the assembly level is poor. Went to fill the fuel tank, petrol went everywhere!
Assemblers forgot to connect fuel hose between tank and carburettor!
Had to unbolt and take the fuel tank off, and connect hose before I could use it.
Once the hose connection was fixed, it ran satisfactorily.
Pump pressure is not overly impressive, for firefighting stream.
Barbed hose tails are poor quality, flange broke off plastic hose tail, before I could use the pump!
Threw the hose tail away, and fitted a Camlock threaded coupling, that solved the problem.
Roll cage is badly thought out, can't get aircleaner element out, because it fouls the bar on the cage.
Need to reposition the bar of the cage. Overall, cheap and cheerful, you get what you pay for.Read full review...

You get what you pay for - buying comparable product genuine Honda from a retail outlet will cost over $1000

The motor and pump seems to work ok. The inlet and outlet threads are very poor quality, resulting in leaks and cross threading of connections. The fittings (hose connectors and strainer) also very poor quality and broke when I was attaching them. Got the problem sorted by purchasing some better quality fittings - I guess it's to be expected with the very budget price of the pump :) Read full review...

Fit for purpose.

The lighter weight of this unit compared to similar more expensive units makes it ideal for the purpose I am using it. Constantly loading and unloading onto utes becomes an issue when pumps are heavy and awkward. Some pumps are 4 times the price and still don't have a cage which aids in the loading and protection of the unit.Read full review...

Works well but be prepared to spend on better quality fittings.

The motor and pump seems to work ok, but have only been using it for a couple of days however I had to replace the screw on brackets for water intake and outlet as they are or were very flimsy and the thread on one useless. The flange on the other broke easily as there was no "meat" in it for tightening.
At this stage I am hoping the pump and motor itself is better quality.Read full review...

good performance, unsuitable fittings

The in and outlets are 2", that is far too big for general use. I would need a 1.5" connection for my purposes, gardening. Unfortunately, an adapter is nit available here in Tasmanien.
Could you recommend an adapter from 2 to 1.5"?
