Best Ryobi Water Pumps
Noisey RCPP900 – Hi all. I replaced a old pump on Sunday. Went to bunnings and installation was seamless once I got my own pumping connectors sorted. It is running… Read more
from a gravity fed water thank. However it is noiser than expected and seems to have a scraping/suction type noise when running. Unsure if I need to bleed it even if I can.
Any ideas, anyone.

if you're on a farm or something like that you might find it a bit weak but if you're in suburbia this will easily do.
Both the suction pipe and the discharge pipe will take a 1" line if you really want to maximise the flow, and the filter in the suction side is easy to open and clean - I only use it for potable water so it's not an issue, but I can see how it would be worthwhile if you are drawing from a dam etc.
Speaking of drawing, it will apparently suck in water from 8m below itself so its easily able to get to the bottom of a tank or a pool, and it will pump to a discharge point 42m above itself. I'm sure that at the maximum lift the flow rate would take a big hit but that's something I've never tested in a domestic setting.
It will pump at a maximum of 4500 l/h - to compare, a normal 1/2" garden hose will do about 1000 l/h so you certainly won't have to wait around to get the job done.
Overall, a very capable pump at an affordable price
