DuroMax XP652WP - 158 GPM (2") Water Pump

Pump arrived via FedEx ground. nice prompt shipping for the pump, but the hose kit arrived several days later.
Pump starts (and restarts) pumps water just fine, see attached picture.
Problems:
1) manual says use 15W40 oil, 2 labels on the pump itself says use 30Wt.
2) I am at 6200' altitude, manual says carburetor needs to be adjusted, but the carburetor is non-adjustable
The mixture screw has no adjustment slot, and is glued in place. My local small engine shop wants $50 to fiddle with it.
3) cheap plastic hose connections.
4) Your online chat specifically says no service related questions.
5) parts diagram in manual shows carburetor as a unit, no internal detail.

The only issue I had was the filter that came with the pump does not fit the suction hose. I had to make a separate purchase for my local hardware store.

One would think that the makers of the pump and the makers of the hoses that you have to purchase separately would at least communicate so all the parts work together.

Purchased the Duromax "xp652wp" 2" water pump. The merchandise was shipped in a timely fashion. All I had to do when it arrived was to fill it with oil and gasoline. I had to purchase the inlet and outlet hose from another source before use, thinking it came with the inlet hose was my mistake.

Once I arrived at the river, the machine ran like a watch and you better have someone on the outlet end, it was like a fire hose. Lowering the throttle helped to control flow. So far it solved our drought problem.

Thanks to Water Pumps Direct for the great price, I'm satisfied. Vern

Added oil and fuel and put it to work. Used it to pump water 20 feet up a hill to run water to my high banker and it supplied me with the water I needed to run through my sluice box. It even gave me plenty of water to run my 2" hydroforce dry land suction nozzle!!! Smooth running, dependable and it's only 64 pounds.

I did not expect it to be this good for the price I paid.

I used this pump to transfer water from one pond to another. The ponds were 525 feet apart and had 50 foot of head lift. I used 1 3/4 fire hose for the discharge hose and 20 foot of suction hose with a threaded metal strainer I purchased on e-bay. The pump pumped on average 1800 gallons an hour. I have used it 4 times each time running the pump for 12 hours with no ill effects. I am super happy with the performance of this pump and would purchase again.

We are still trying to figure out why this will not run. Cannot get it to run. Do not know what is wrong but having someone look at it. I will be notifying you after we have run out of options.......

This pump performs up to the listed specs. It's easy to start. Does the job well.

We use it to transfer water from a pond for irrigation of trees and gardens.

Bought to fill up an ice rink. Used once a year. Many problems with the pump right from the start but managed to get the job done for first 2 years (about 2-3 hrs of pumping). 3rd year it quit after an hour and no amount of coaxing could get it going.

Brought it to a mechanic for this year. Fixed shut off (which was not connected) properly labeled the choke (sticker on backwards and spent some time trying to fix some issues with the carb (air/fuel intakes not matching up with carb).
After two trips it still only runs for about ten minutes before stalling. Overall just poorly put together with very little quality control. Spend the extra money and get a Honda.

This pump works well, so far. It's light enough to move around, and it pumps water fine.

The intake is in a shallow creek, & it pumps a 10'x10'x8' tank full with less than a tank of gas, up a 50' high hill.

If it can do this for another 10 years, I'll be happier than a pig in...

Our pond water is used for watering our grass and trees. The level was extremely low but with my new pump it took only two hours to fill the pond from the irrigation ditch behind our home.

The pump set up easily and worked seamlessly.
