Can this pump be used for pumping drinking water?

The mechanism inside is metal so eventually you will start getting rust in your water.

Yes, it works great just filling up the water from the top. You can then use filtered water if you want.

I wouldn't hook it up to a public water supply. It's a siphon pump. You have to pump it continously to get water.

I don't believe so. I use it as a delivery system for diffusing essential oils in water. I'm not sure what else you'd use it for.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.

A typical, off the shelf garden hose, is not suited for drinking water as it contains a different lining inside the hose. It is not recommended to use a non drinking water hose for drinking water due to the possible leaching of potentially harmful chemicals used to manufacture a non drinking water hose. Drinking water hoses are specifically designed to protect against those chemicals.

Yes, but I use tap water and it works fine. I have to fill it up once a day so buying distilled gets expensive.

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump. Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

Yes I use mine for transferring water from one tank to another or watering plants or even washing cars .

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

Colin, As long as the intake water is filtered. I'm certain that pump's not designed to handle gray water.

You could but unless you have a very long hose on the output and/or low water pressure what's the point? This is not a pressure washer, just a poor to mediocre transfer pump.

It Would be very difficult to use it directly at a pump, because the filter CANNOT FILTER at a speed at which the pump is releasing. You can try if you can do it slowly.

No. This is a single-user pump and should not be purchased used. It is an open system, and use by more than one person voids the warranty.

I called the manufacturer and they said the pump is not made to transfer potable (drinking) water.

If this pump is to be used in a domestic recirculating hot water system it is a perfect choice. If to be used as a booster pump to get hot water to a distant location, not. If you are not sure get some professional advice.

Yes it could be used with power washers but its prime function is for drinking water.
