Looking at buying a Generac 1" pump. Just for occasional use, to fill the tank on pumpkin planter (100 gal) or on a really dry year a 500 gallon tank to water pumpkins. Will use it to pull water from the creek or spring, or possibility a shallow well(10-15' with a check valve at the bottom).

From what I read on their website they are made in Wisconsin, so American made. That's a plus. And price wise they beat Harbor Freight.
Just wondering if anybody has experience with Generac.
Looking at the past to see the future.

we sell generac products and when they started with the pumps we bought a generac     1 1/2 pump and started useing it for pumping used motor oil and when it is cold it works the crap out of  it  ,  that was expected  thats been close to 10 years ago . amaszing little   pump .  its nice to be able to test the things we  sell  and in this case very hard . and you have dealer support

Don't waste time with a 1"----get the standard 2" and never look back! ---Mine is 2" and I wish it were a 4" instead----even for occasional use bigger is better on water pumps.
Not sure you will get it to prime from 15', BUT will work good in creek. I been using 2 of the 2" pumps at the same time  in the river to fill 1600 gallon tanker to haul to the garden and it takes a long time with them both running flat out.
I can't wast time waiting for tanks to fill.
