00:00Hello and welcome back and today we're going to talk about pumps and this particular pump is one
00:17of the smallest pumps referred to as a waterbed pump and just as the name implies certainly back
00:23in the day when waterbeds were very popular this was a very very sought-after item for
00:29emptying the waterbeds it usually came or does come with a short length of three three foot of
00:36hose garden hose the fitting that you get with your waterbed would go on this end hook down to
00:41your waterbed throw a book on it or something to keep it in the water your garden hose would go on
00:46the other end put into a tub or drain or outside and then you simply plug it in and the biggest
00:53thing on these little pumps is they cannot run dry they must have the water going through them
00:58so you can certainly tell the sound when it does run with the water and that's why you want to make
01:04sure that the end that's hooked onto the waterbed is is immersed into the into the water and then once
01:10it runs dry shut it off or you burn out the little rubber impeller that's in here now another use
01:16that's probably as commoners gotten more popular with this little pump is transferring oil say from a
01:24heating tank diesel fuel from when you're maybe not sure you're getting rid of a tank of you've been
01:32running on oil and you're going to switch over to natural gas or electricity you can empty your tank
01:37with one of these as well only the hose that's that you have here usually you'll tape it to a stick
01:44so it stays straight shove it down into your tank and then you can hook on your garden hose which will
01:49probably throw away after that and you can pump it out dry you've got to remember that this length
01:55of hose that comes with the pump is as long a hose that you can use to draw your material either water
02:02or oil they'll only draw this length of hose you start putting a garden hose or something longer on
02:08it cannot create suction to draw the draw the material so make sure you only use the length that comes
02:16with it the other end of course you can put on as much as you want to send them to send the liquid
02:21wherever you want to send it and plug it into a good a good outlet as well and use a good extension
02:27cord that's a good little handy pump for transferring water it's obviously can be used for anything else
02:33cleaning out a hot tub or any other item even though some of the other bigger pumps with a little
02:38more volume would be better this is only giving you about six gallons a minute and certainly some of
02:44the bigger pumps are going to give you more material so give that some thought if you have the need and
