" ... All plastic pieces are very fragile and will snap and bend with more than a few pounds force. ... If it isn't just sliding on be very careful. ... "

" ... Comes with the fittings you need for any common hose type and feet for sticking to the bottom of a sump etc. ... "

" ... The interchangeable outlet tube is sort of fragile when you try to take a hose that has been attached for a while. ... "
" ... Honestly I love it though, that said I gave it 4 stars because the insert threading would not work with a standard water hose style insert, which is what it suppose to be threaded for, so I had to engineer a solution for my use. ... "
