Comments about Beckson Beckson Handy Mate Pumps:
I use this 212PC pump to remove "dregs" at the bottom of my rain barrels when I am winterizing the barrels before after growing season. This pump sucks out all of the algae-laden dregs at the bottom of the barrels - ZERO clogging of this pump. My barrels are white and a considerable amount of algae accumulated in the barrels over the growing season. (My 7 barrels are all connected they cannot be inverted for storage over winter.)
One other thing - this pump requires a medium amount of strength to pump/suck more than a small amount of liquid. So, if you have to pump a lot, you may need to rest every few minutes while pumping.
Pump w/ tubing & pipe attached. Hammer shows size.
