Folks are questioning the "not for drinking water" statement. I have an above ground shallow well for our home. If I install this type of pump onto my well in case , for example, the power goes out for a length of time....It is just fine for drinking water. The problem arises from water sitting too long in the pipes or this unit and becoming stagnant. These type of pumps are used all over the world for water used for drinking. You just have to be sure to run it often enough to keep it purified. If the power goes out for longer than a few days I will certainly trust that pumping water from these is safe. For the length of time the good well water spends in the pump, passing thru it, I can not imagine any problems.

This pump was perfect to establish the time - 1930's, and the place - rural Oklahoma for the play "The Rainmaker." Standing up stage center Its presence in the kitchen gave unmistakable evidence as to where and when this play took place. The fact that we could actually get it to work and pump water from a storage tank below made it even more invaluable to gain the audience's complete acceptance of the setting. Probably not the usual use for such a prosaic utility piece of hardware, but it really stood out as a theater prop.

For the price it will make a nice yard fountain, if I was pumping water, I would spend more and get a higher quality product. But, it will be great for my use and will probably buy another.

Pump has a included note "DO NOT USE FOR DRINKING WATER" This should have been on the description, had I seen this info, would not have purchased. Now I have 15 lbs of scrap cast iron.
