As always a product you can trust from The Ready Store.You prepared for months to get enough water stored for your family in an emergency: rotating the water when needed, acquiring large barrels, and even ensuring it stays fresh with water purifier. Don't let all that hard work go to waste! When the day comes that you need to rely on your stored water supply life will be so much easier with our Siphon Pump. Anything larger than our 5-gallon water containers you will need a Siphon to help you get the water out. There is no assembly require, just place our siphon pump in your barrel, give a few pumps and your water will be flowing through.
Not only can a siphon pump help with your emergency water needs, but they are handy to have around the house as well. They can remove the water from your clogged kitchen sink, empty your water bed, or use with broken washing machines, boat or pool covers. The siphon pump can pump up to 5-gallons per minute. Because you don't want to be pumping contaminated water, make sure you add water preserver to your order as well!
Your body loses on average 2.5 liters of water every day (or 2/3 of a gallon), but can handle only a loss of about 10-22% of its water weight (which can happen at around 3 days with no water) before it becomes fatal.
Please Note: This siphon pump is ideal for 15, 30, and 55-gallon water barrels and is not intended for a portable water container. - What's in the Box?

Your not going to want to have to tip those big barrels of water to get the water out of the bottom, this will do the job.Quality Price Value

I bought one one of these from the readystore. It is important to have, very sturdy for being plastic. I wish you would get a shorter one as well.Quality Price Value
- Very Handy

I bought this a while back when I purchased my first 30 gallon barrels. Works well. I have added 55 gallon barrels to my supplies and will be getting a second pump because I cut the other down for the shorter barrels.Value Quality Price
- Essential product

This is a great product that is much cheaper here than in stores. It is a must have because you need the ability to get all of your stored water out of your barrels without wasting water. This is the sure fire way to do it. Not to mention in an emergency you can siphon gas from a tank as well. I have two of these, 1 for gas and 1 for water.Value Quality Price
- Will need to cut shorter for 15gal but should work fine

I wanted a little more portable 15 gal water barrel rather than the 30 gal. This is too tall for the fifteen as it comes. Will cut it down and it will be fine.Price Value Quality

You never know when you'll need a siphon in an emergency situation, whether for gasoline, water, or another liquid. This pump makes life so much easier!Quality Price Value
- With this order I will have a total of 4 water siphon pumps.

I can't stress enough the importance of having multiple water pumps on hand for emergency situations! Two will be used for clean drinking water from storage barrels, one for siphoning gasoline, and the last for use siphoning water from a shallow well.Value Quality Price

Don't expect anything fancy with this siphon pump but it will do the job. The hardest part for me was getting it to thread onto my barrel to create the vacuum. But once that happened I pumped it a few times and we had water. If you are using a hose or something to get water out of your barrels, you should for sure invest a little money into one these. It will save you a lot of time.Value Quality Price

this product is what it is. Kinda flimsy, but it does a good job and what it does, siphoning water. I have no complaints about the job it does. The price is even fine.Price Value Quality
- A Valued item

This will come in handy when retreiving water from storage containers, water sources, etc. Good price and quality is average but functions and gets the job done.Price Value Quality
- Is NOT Interchangeable With Other Size Containers Without Cutting the Tube

-- Your page claims that the pump comes with an "Operating Manual". Mine came with nothing. Please send me instructions on how to use it.Value Quality Price
-- Your page claims that this pump fits "anything larger than a 5-gallon water container"... except it doesn't say that the pump ONLY comes sized to fit a 55-gallon barrel. In order to use this with anything else, you have to PERMANENTLY cut the long plastic tube. It is NOT adjustable. Luckily I purchased mine for a 55-gallon barrel, so it will fit. But it will NOT fit any smaller sized containers (UNLESS YOU PERMANENTLY CUT IT TO A SMALLER LENGTH) because the tube is too long to allow the top portion to thread on to any containers smaller than 55 gallons, which is NEEDED in order to create the necessary vacuum seal for non-electric pumping to occur. If you want this for a 15- or 30-gallon container, you will have to cut the product to size.
-- It may be "Ready Store" brand, but it is made in Taiwan, according to the plastic wrapper. That might be something that people would like to know. And is all of this plastic BPA-free???
-- The photo on your site does NOT match what is shipped. The long center "tube" is white/clear plastic... not dark grey (which looks more like metal or sturdy PVC)... and the center tube is much larger/wider than it appears on your site. It's not super heavy duty, but I guess that comes with the inexpensive price. It should work, but I'm not sure for how long. Will probably get another one as a back-up if there is no power. For the price, it can't hurt to have a spare.
Reply from the ReadyStore: Hello Any_Amy, Thank you for your review and I would be happy to answer your questions. It looks like our supplier no longer provides us with an operating manual but we will Email you a video that will provide you with all the information regarding this Siphon pump. As for the 5-gallon container, we're referring that if you have a larger container than a 5-gallon container you will need to have a tool to remove the water from a 15, 30 or 55-gallon barrel. If you have a 5-gallon or 3.5-Gallon water brick we recommend that you use a Spigot to have access to the water of that smaller more manageable container. All of the Ready Store water products are made out of food grade plastics that are HDPE (High-density polyethylene) and are BPA-Free. With the product photo we have on our website, the tube we have is gray and it is possible that the Mfg of the Siphon Pump has change the color of the center tube depending on the availability of food grade pipes. This will not affect the function of the Siphon Pump but is a cosmetic change from what's displayed.

this seems OK, it is basically for extremely light duty (just to get the siphon going) so i feel it will work & last ... it is light duty plastic, though, for my preps i am still on the lookout for something more bulletproof.Price Value Quality
