TERA PUMP 55 Gallon Drum Water Pump — Manual Emergency Drum Pump, 5.5 GPM, BPA-Free

TERA PUMP Emergency 55 Gallon Drum Water Pump is a manual, electricity-free drum pump that moves up to 5.5 gallons per minute and fits standard 55-gallon barrels for safe water and fuel transfer.

Whether you need a reliable way to dispense drinking water during outages, to siphon diesel or kerosene in a shop, or to handle solvents and cleaning liquids on a job site, this hand-powered drum pump gives you controlled flow without power. Constructed from polyethylene and polypropylene and fitted with a BPA-free design, it balances chemical compatibility and user safety. The pump uses a piston-style lever action and includes a 2-inch NPS bung adapter, long suction and discharge tubes, plus an adjustable air vent cap to start or stop flow.

How fast and how much liquid will this pump move?

The TERA PUMP delivers up to 5.5 gallons per minute using a manual piston-action lever. Flow speed depends on how quickly you operate the pump and the liquid's viscosity; lighter fluids move closer to the maximum rate while thicker fluids slow the throughput.

• Maximum delivery: 5.5 GPM with manual pumping
• Suction tube: 33.4-inch length, 1-inch diameter for steady intake
• Discharge hose: 47.2-inch corrugated, flexible hose for reach
• Built-in nozzle holder keeps the nozzle secure when not in use

Which liquids can I safely transfer with this drum pump?

This pump is designed to handle a broad range of liquids, from drinking water to many petroleum-based and chemical fluids. Materials and seals are chosen for compatibility with fuels, solvents, and common industrial fluids, while BPA-free components make it suitable for emergency potable water dispensing.

• Safe for drinking water (BPA-free components)
• Compatible with gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light oils, and e85/e15 blends
• Works with thinner, antifreeze, soaps, detergents, and mild acids
• Not intended for highly corrosive or unknown reactive substances without testing

How do I install and control flow from my 55-gallon drum?

Installation is tool-free and adjustable: insert the suction tube to the desired depth and slide the included 2-inch NPS bung adapter into the drum opening. Flow is regulated by the pump's piston action and the air vent cap—tighten clockwise to create a siphon vacuum for continuous flow or loosen counterclockwise to stop or reduce flow.

• Slip the suction tube into the drum and secure with the 2-inch NPS bung adapter
• Operate the lever-action piston for transfer—no electricity required
• Use the air vent cap to start/stop siphoning or slow flow as needed
• Corrugated discharge hose offers flexible routing and nozzle storage

What are the build, safety, and warranty details?

The pump is molded from durable polyethylene and polypropylene, materials chosen for fuel resistance and long-term use. BPA-free components protect potable water, and the manual design eliminates reliance on electricity during emergencies. TERA PUMP supports this product with a one-year warranty against manufacturer defects.
