i use the power blaster as a washdown pump on my professionally maintained and installed private fishing boat. there is a delay power feature that allows a light stream when first activated then progresses to a slightly more powerful but extremely disapointing stream.I have never used the bucket with my pumps in the past,but i have with this dissapointing model. __avoid the power blaster!!!!!!!

The pump came with what appeared to be standard thread protectors inserted into both the intake and output side. This led me to believe both sides were threaded and would accept standard threaded nipples. Unfortunetely the pump inlet and outflow are not threaded and will not take a standard threaded nipple to attach barbed hose connections to. Instead, you also have to order 2 other parts which can only come from Shureflow in order to install the pump.
