While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

2 water pumps split in half with 30…

2 water pumps split in half with 30 seconds

Reply from THORNADO

We suspect that the split is the result of an operational error. When the first failure occurred, we did not discover how you operate the pump, and we assume it is a manufacturing issue. We sent you a replacement pump unit, and the same issue occurred again.

Later, we discovered that you closed all of the outlet valves and started the engine, then opened them after 30 seconds, causing the pump casing to shatter. Not only did the pump casing crack, but the impellers were also bent. Such high pressure can only cause this. If this is a manufacturing flaw, you will see a crack line or pump leaking when you prime the pump.
Furthermore, it is quite unusual for 2 units showing the same issue when operated by the same person.
