Review on Drainage pump KARCHER SP 1 Dirt (1.645-500.0) (250 W) by Mateusz Jamroz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

The pump was purchased as a gift to parents as a replacement for the Brook pump with a crack in the casing. "Karcher" was greeted by them with distrust because of the plastic case (the "Brook" has a metal one). They even wanted to return it to the store in the first moments - they were afraid of a very strong water pressure (they got used to the power of the old pump). Dissuaded. Turns out he did the right thing. The power, judging by the pressure of the water jet, is the same as that of the old pump. The pump was connected to the existing hose through an adapter (1 to 3/4 inches). The sites have different information about the size of the connected hose - 1.25 inches on the Karcher official website, 1 inch in the aliexpress description. As a result, turned out to be right. The pluses include the complete noiselessness of the pump - they lowered it into a well with drinking water, plugged it into an outlet . “and silence in response” and a stream of water from a hose. I looked again in five minutes into the well - the pump is not audible from the word "absolutely". The old pump is not very strong, but still noisy. The declared maximum depth of water intake is 7 meters (not tested yet, but it's nice to have a "power reserve"). Bold plus to the company for an extended warranty on non-professional "country" pumps (you register the pump on the official website within 90 days from the date of purchase - and the guarantee increases from two to FIVE years - "Gardena" and "Metabo" smoke on the sidelines). The pump was disposed of at a service center due to oil getting into drinking water (the reason is poor-quality engine seals). The store returned the money. The most annoying thing is that “serious” spare parts are not supplied to 2022 for “younger” pump models, and in case of a breakdown after the warranty period expires, the pump can simply be thrown away or handed over to a scrap metal collection point.

I included some photos to give others a better idea of what to expect.

Pros
  • Build quality. Silent (you can't hear it from the well with drinking water). The depth of water intake is 7 meters. Extended manufacturer's warranty of 5 years (upon registration on the official website).
Cons
  • The pump is quite weighty - a little less than 4 kilograms. The large size of the outlet (1 inch) - the “problem” was solved by buying a non-original plastic adapter for 160 (the original costs about 500). The water pressure is not the strongest - perhaps because of the long hose.
