Hmmmm good point, The problem being with no back pressure there is some syphoning going on until the head goes below the discharge outlet. So it's not really apples to apples... Let me see what I can do... ok2

Hullo KBIO......

On 22/10/2010, you posted a U-Tube video of your Regner steam driven water pump Best No 20240

At 4 seconds & 44 seconds it appears to be stalling, then is OK & pumping slowly @ 1.08 & 2.38 minutes

Was there a self starting problem?
Are they reliable?
Would you recommend them?


Could you also please confirm

The conection female port thread sizes........the Regner electronic catalogue does not nominate
Is there any provision for securing the body of the steam cylinder or and the water pump cylinder?...or does it rely on the tubing to self support the assembly?
Is there any reason in installing the asssembly in the horizontal plane?

I also had a feeling there may have been a similar video with you speaking in English.....If this is so could you please post a link
