Letter Re: Advice on Water Barrel Pumps

Hello,
I am in Houston, Texas, and I just purchased two 55-gallon plastic drinking water drums here semi-locally, but my problem is that the pumps were not included! I am wondering if you have some you are selling, or you could tell me where to get several of them. The threaded openings are 2 inches in diameter, and the drums are just short of three feet deep. I’m looking for hand-operated pumps, of course, not electric! Could you please get back with me on this? Thank you! – Donna C/

JWR Replies: I’ve had good experiences with Pacer drum pumps [1]. BTW, I’ve heard that the less expensive pumps that are widely available are not nearly as sturdy, and are far more likely to crack and fail.
