Why it matters
TecHome rates the TH302 at up to 330 GPH and 40 ft of lift from a 1/10 HP motor in an aluminum alloy body. A thermal overload protector guards the motor.
It has 3/4 in GHT connections and comes with a 6 ft suction hose, a strainer that drains to about 1/8 in and an impeller replacement kit.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Rain barrels
- Water heaters

- Long continuous runs
Pros and cons
Pros
- Thermal protection
- Aluminum body
- Spares included
Cons
- Must be primed

Limitations to weigh
- Transfer pumps sit outside the water: fill the pump head before each start and never run it dry.
- Small brushed transfer motors wear their carbon brushes and impeller; keep the spares that come in the box.
