Ok....Tuesday came Saturday morning.
First impression....fast delivery, good packaging and the pump is HEAVY (6lbs7ozs).
The casting is good. The water inlet is a touch rough at the opening. Fine as is but I will run a hone in there before I'm happy.
The hub is steel and nicely finished. The shaft measures a "metric" 5/8's. Okay by me.
The impeller is a closed design and the casting nicely directs the water past the impeller in an efficient manor.
Comes with brass hose Barb's and a gasket.
Overall a nice piece. At $46.00 it merits buying a spare for future projects.
I misspoke when I said earlier it is USA made. Brackets and pulleys are US made.... accessories are ChiCom.
