Is the pump housing cast iron or plastic?

The housing at the bottom (suction) end is plastic, the tube is metal, as is the actual motor casing. Its' a dandy sump-pump - much quieter than the old one, and a good buy for the money

No plastic here, it's metal. It's a very nice faucet. I've had it in for a few months now and it's holding up great to a lot of use. I love it. It's a beautiful faucet! :)

Stainless steel, blade, shaft and housing. Gasket surrounding shaft appears to be plastic.

Plastic. Seems to be very well constructed of a heavy, sturdy plastic. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Does an amazing job. Cleans by holding under faucet for 15 seconds.

No, the cast iron pump and stainless steel pump are equal. The price of the stainless steel pump was pennies more when I bought it.

The housing is plastic. Unless your water is hot enough to melt thick plastic, you will be OK.

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

The inner cap of the lid and the part of the plunger that holds the mesh are plastic. The plunger shaft is metal.

The "chrome" pump is plastic and mine has not chipped nor color worn off. I use it quite a bit and have had it for about a year.

They are plastic. I have had this for a month now with no problems at all. I don't crank down on the fittings when I tighten them however

Hi Ed - the body is plastic. Only the 1/2" male pipe nipples are brass. I haven't installed mine yet, but it does look like a nice little pump and perfect for my solar application.

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

Washers / Metal. But.. It is the same faucet as one with stuby chrome handles with adapters for porcelain handles that don't tighten securely. I wound not buy it again.

The assembly is plastic with the metal drain opening cover. Plastic, but study.
