Out of the box this thing was tough to get going, and soon it froze, while still unused with any liquid.I took it apart and found two things.1. It has a simple, sturdy, efficient design.2. The interior was dry and covered with surface rust.It seemed to me it needed grease. I slathered it with Penn reel grease and it was soon humming like a top.Once placed in a barrel of liquid it pumped like a champ.The price is great too. Everywhere I see similar quality is twice the price.
