TOOGOO 5 Gallon Water Bottle/Jug Hand Pump

Went to the grocery store, picked up a 5 gallon jug of water, paid 5.00 used that up and now we pay 1.29 for purified water when we take the jug back in for refill. The pump fits perfectly on the top of the jug and it is forcefull enough to fill your drinking cup with just a few pumps. It even has a cap attached on the end so when you are done using it you put the little cap back on and there is no spillage.No more paying 2.29 for a small bottle of water at the convienence store, or even paying 1.29 for a gallon of drinking water at the grocery store. This is a great product, great idea.

The order was complete and I received it in a timely matter. I give the transaction a five star. However I give the product a one star for the following reason. It is piece of junk. Typical for an outsourced item like this made in China. The pump itself is made of extremely light gauge plastic. So light I thought at first there was nothing in the box when I took it out of the package. It is supposed to fit over your water bottle and tighten down with the plastic nut. You can not even tighten the nut by hand without it slipping off the threaded collar. This must be achieved to create a vacuum when you use the pump. I even tried a metal band clamp which worked. The problem is that air leaks through the pump itself so it doesn't matter how tight the collar is. Would some one please let me know if any of these like products work any better. $10.00? This item isn't worth the cost of the material it was made with. Again typical of outsourced crap made in other countries!(Thanks Amazon for allowing us to return items like this with no questions asked.)

We moved into an RV in the middle of Winter, and the water hookups at our site were frozen solid. We've had to buy all of our water, but we ran into a dilemma. Single gallons were getting expensive, but the giant jugs are so difficult to use. We purchased this pump, and voila! Problem solved. It's very handy when you're using the 5 gallon jugs for everyday use.

I use about 10 gallons of bottled water per week. I use this pump to fill 3 liter bottles for refrigeration or easy transport. This hand pump is easy to install and use. It does not tighten as much as I would like, but it functions well as it is. I would recommend this product for home use. I have had this product in regular use for over a year now, I added some Teflon tape (plumbing supplies) to the tubing to make it fit together better. I have no trouble using up a 5 gallon bottle down to about the last cup or two. I am using 5 gallon plastic bottles sold at my local H.E.B. Store. After 2 years, it does not pump as well as my Dolphin Model 8080 which was purchased at the same time as this one. It does work, but a lot of fast pumping is required to fill a 3 liter bottle.

I read the other reviews and was a little leery about buying this pump but we were on the way to a camping trip and I really didn't want to deal with bottles of water. A 5 gallon jug cost $2.50 to fill and saves a ton of plastic. So I decided that I would give a shot, worth a try for 5 bucks or so.The pump worked great for the whole trip - 6 days - and I'm expecting it's going to continue working fine. Some of the reviews say that it stopped working or didn't work in the first place but I think that's an end user issue. This pump works off vacuum, not suction. This means you need to have it properly installed on your 5 gallon jug so it creates a seal. When you pump the top of the pump it pushes air into the jug and that forces water out of the jug. The more air space the more you have to pump before you get water out. We had to pump several times - it's not difficult - when the jug got to about a quarter full, but it worked fine.The only issue we had at all was when the water was low and you're pumping air into the jug the whole pump would occasionally pop off the top of the jug. This is due to the air pressure pushing back on the pump and the sealing mechanism not being strong enough to hold it in place. It's easily overcome by just holding your hand on the pump while the water is dispensing.I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars only because of the seal issue and the tube that goes into the 5 gallon jug doesn't go all the way to the bottom - another small issue. Otherwise I think this worked great!

GREAT for camping or road trips when you have small children that you want to keep hydrated. Since we use it with a 5 gallon jug, the water doesn't get hot and this little device makes it easy to pour to other sources (cups, hand water bottles). I went camping with friends and they love how easy and fast it was to fill up personnal water bottles. If needed to quickly wash hands.

I ordered a Drinking Water Pump from Triple Play on March 1, 2011. It arrived promptly but the pump appeared to be "used" and it did not work. Amazon, who actually fulfilled the order, gave me a refund and offered to replace the pump. I added an honest review stating that the pump was not new, had missing parts and did not work. Triple Play then contacted me, apologized for the defective pump, but blamed it on Amazon. They requested that I remove my negative comment in exchange for another pump, at no charge. I removed my comment due to their attempt to make good with some decent customer service. It then took several weeks to receive the second water pump. It too, appeared to be "used" and did not work. I contacted Triple Play again and asked that they send me a third pump, hopefully the third one would work. Now three weeks later and I have not heard anything from Triple Play. So much for good customer service!

It has been replaced (by the one I wanted to give a 5star review to!) by another purchase. The stem or draw pipe kept falling out of the bottom, it moved all over when you pumped it - and I didn't want to ducttape it in place! But, it worked while I needed it to.
