Pumps out water on the up stroke only which is harder to do. Comes in very handy. Its larger then I thought it would be, but it still stores well. Great when Kayaking a rapid river. On the down times you let the current take you and you bilge out whatever water got in during the rapid run.
Nice pump, low pressure, high volume
