Al,
I bought this pump because I’m a building engineer mechanic and I didn't have to pay since I can justify that I use for work it cost me $92 dollars on home depot. Do you recommend any other as strong but shipper?
Thanks

Is this a submersible pump or a utility pump? Is the oil to actually lube or to prime the unit?? "T"
