|---|---|---|
| Can a Guzzler be used to pump waste water from a boat holding tank? | Pumping waste from boat holding tanks (or any other sanitation tanks) is a perfect job for a Guzzler. Guzzlers are in widespread use for pumping in sanitation applications on boats, trains, lavatory service carts and portable sanitation systems. |

| Can the 400 pump be used to pump gasoline? | Although the pump materials are non-reactive to gasoline and many fuels, we do not recommend that our pumps be used for transferring fuels of any kind. |
| What is the highest temperature that the pump will sustain? | This depends very much on the component materials that you’ve selected when you configured your pump. Delrin plastic is rated for a maximum temperature of 140° Fahrenheit. Aluminum and bronze pump bodies can sustain much higher temperatures. Don’t forget to choose an elastomer for the diaphragm and valves whose temperature rating meets your requirements. Helpful information is provided in the tooltips for diaphragm and valve choices on the pump configuration web page of this site. |
| What is the lowest temperature at which the pump will continue to work? | The lowest temperature is generally the freezing point of the liquid you are pumping. Remember that adding salt to water depresses its freezing point, allowing you to pump at temperatures below 32° |
| What is the maximum pressure the pump will sustain? | Most of our pumps are designed to generate pressures of up to 20 psi. We have recently introduced a new member of our pump product family that can generate much higher pressures, up to 50 psi. Check out the Guzzler 460 on the Product\HandPump page. |
| Can I submit my product registration & warranty card online? | At this time, there is no online product registration. Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to The Bosworth Company, 930 Waterman Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914 attn. Customer Service Dept. |
