Pump for water changes?

[Webmanny]

Hey guys,

What do you think of using this for small water changes. I don't plan on doing anything fancy, I just want to stop lifting buckets and just running a clear hose from the sump to a drain and then from the bucket to the sump to refill.

I'm just concerned with this having oils and things like that inside. I saw another one that was cheaper, but I think this one would be better.

The better one $15.99: Link

The cheaper one $3.99: Link

I would use an aquarium pump. There r some cheep used ones out there that would work well

I have been using a small pump. I just wanted to try something more portable that does not need to be plugged in. I have a battery powered drill that I could use to run this pump fairly easy.

I guess I'll just buy the cheap one and run some tests.
