[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 71527, member: 1582"] Ive got the 1.5 Thornado, so far so good extremelt chuffed with the performance/price....I got mine when they were selling at $189 so might be worth emailing him and getting an "off ebay price". I do however use a two tiered banker which speeds the water flow a little. I think Wal says about 200lpm is whats required and thats exactly what this pump is. Good budget pump and has not skipped a beat yet with a couple of oil changes as shes been run in. I am now however considering the smaller pump and making an even more portable set up for those really challenging hikes. I think they are about 7kg. The problem may be the hose......is 1 inch lay flay readily available im not sure. Ive had no need to reduce. 1.5 inch on the 2.5hp model is good. Priming, pour water in the top and then I actually bucket water into the layflat until the hose is all fat, connect it to the banker and start her going. Takes about 10-20 seconds to start spraying and have had to bleed the end of the spray bar on occasion to get her fired up. After than shell pump all day first start. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
