The Fill-Rite FR150 Piston Hand Pump is a mixed bag when it comes to customer experiences. While some customers have had positive experiences with the pump, others have encountered issues and were not satisfied with their purchase. One customer mentioned that the pump seized up after a few turns and had to be disassembled and modified with a homemade gasket to get it to function properly. This points to a potential quality control issue with the pump. Another customer complained that the pump locked up when trying to push through a water filter, and was advised by customer service that hand cranked pumps don't have enough power for filtration purposes. On the other hand, there are customers who have been using this pump for many years without any problems. One customer mentioned using the pump for two decades before it eventually quit and they purchased a new one. They were happy with the pump's durability and performance, although they wished the price was more affordable Considering the pump didn't come with a suction tube. Overall, the reception of the Fill-Rite FR150 Piston Hand Pump is mixed. While some customers have had positive experiences with its performance and durability, others have encountered issues such as seizing and lack of power for filtration purposes. Potential buyers should be aware of these mixed reviews before making a purchase.
