Comments about Charge N' Flow Portable Pump Kit:
I use it to get water from areas in my sailboat that the main pumps won't get. I plan to use it to empyty my dinghy after it rains. It has its own battery built into the case.
Once it's removed from the sturdy carrying case, its not easy to get the hose and wire folded back so the lid will close. Not a big deal for me but makes it harder to stow.
You have to be sure you have control of the discharge hose end when you power it on or it whips around and will spray you. Just takes some thought to manage it.

- Compact
- Easy To Use
Cons

- Minor wash down
- Rinse waste tank
Comments about Charge N' Flow Portable Pump Kit:
I needed a small portible pump to use to rinse out my waste tank at the marina pump out. They do not have a hose bib for rinsing.
I just plug it into my cig lighter and drop it in the lake and it pumps like a champ every time.
