Ozito 800W Constant Pressure Pump

We are farm property we have just purchased our second Ozito 800w pump,the first is still going strong after 18 months being used every day in our house kitchen by 6 people. That's good value and reliability, and good enough for me at less than A$200. I'm Rick former Member of Queensland Parliament and Justice of the Peace Qld 29years.

Ozito Constant Pressure Water pump – I've had to return two faulty Ozito pumps to Bunnings, which is inconvenient as I am 40 mins away from nearest store. Having said that Bunnings did replace my pumps without an issue. When the pressure pumps are working they are great!

Ozito 800W Water Pressure pump – Just installed my Ozito Pressure water pump 800W. Easy to follow instructions, I bought to replace a cheap chinese version which last 2.5 years so the 3 year warranty and cost of $209 is acceptable and if it has to be replaced in say 4 years then would only cost $1 per week for the unit. I was recommended to buy it by a chap who had worked for Bunnings before, is now with Sydney Tools and they didn't have a pump to compare with this model of pump, there's would have been $4/500. In his experience the Ozito pump is well worth the price and warranty

Good value – There is something of a story here. I purchased an Ozito CPPA5-800 from Bunnings after the existing 'Commercial Electric' CPP-800 pump stopped running after about 10 years of use ( pumping from dam into veggie garden, and later for house usage from tank). Except for a few small changes e.g brass regulator nut rather than a plastic one, this would appear to be the same pump. I was fairly happy, given that we had 10 years from the previous pump, and the new pump has a 3 year replacement guarantee. The earlier purchase followed a succession of much more expensive Davey (3) and Onga (1) pumps that still had the usual issues such as regulator repair and/or internal water seal leakage after a few years of use. And when the pump is relatively expensive you do pay to have it repaired.. thus adding to the overall cost. So from my perspective the moral of the story is .. buy the cheaper Ozito pump (around $200), hopefully get 5 years use out of it (at least 3 is covered from the guarantee). And when it breaks, just buy another one, as these are good for average domestic use.

Installation of device – Had trouble installing this machine. Poor design of base. No instructions on how to anchor this device. You would have to pull this device apart to be able to anchor it in the four places. We were able to anchor only on one side. If they splayed the feet of this thing past the body of the pump it would have been a five minute installation. Pump otherwise primed and worked as advertised. Time will tell if a good product but the 3 year warranty gives comfort.
