When it comes to drywall tools, a compound pump is a workhorse that keeps all drywall finishing and taping tools moving. So, what makes a good drywall pump? Here’s LEVEL5 founder Scott Murray with an overview (or read on to learn more).
Why Choose the LEVEL5 Compound Pump?
Drywall finishers worldwide rely on LEVEL5’s Drywall Compound Pump to be the backbone of their automatic taping tool arsenal.
Powerhouse Drywall Pump Design
LEVEL5’s drywall compound pump has been made to meet finisher’s demand for reliability, affordability and workability. This beast of a taping tool is built to withstand years of heavy use.
We specifically chose to construct our pump out of billet aluminum (instead of less-durable cast aluminum) to give it as rock-solid a build as possible. Using advanced anodization technology, we’ve designed our compound pump to feature outstanding corrosion resistance. This same anodization also makes it more resistant to everyday wear and tear.
The body of the LEVEL5 mud pump is longer to make it compatible with more bucket sizes. Its composite cup seal is designed to be longer lasting than traditional rubber seals used by other major brands. To effectively minimize pump priming we’ve added a precision-molded flapper valve and seal assembly.
The build quality, attention to innovation and 7-Year warranty make this pump unrivaled in terms of value to the finisher. Combine these with the fact that LEVEL5’s compound pump is among the most affordable on the market and it’s easy to see why our taping tools are setting the industry standard for finishers far and wide.
Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
This drywall mud pump has been built to last, comes ready to go right out of the box and is innovated to fit any drywall finisher’s workflow. We’ve gone above and beyond to make our pump the most workable on the market.
No doubt the ability to clean, repair and maintain your drywall tools plays a big role in which taping tools you choose to invest in. We’ve built the LEVEL5 drywall pump to be extremely easy to take apart and rebuild thanks to heavy-duty grenade pins and easy-release latches on its tube and handle.
To help make tool maintenance second nature, we’ve created a built-in wrench mount to ensure quick access to your wrench that comes included with every purchase of a LEVEL5 drywall compound pump. Once you’ve mastered how to take apart and maintain your pump, you’ll never be without one on the job.
To help with this process we’ve put together a series of taping tool maintenance videos. You can view them here.

Free Box Filler Value
To help ensure that your LEVEL5 mud pump is ready to go right out of the box, we include a free box filler valve with every purchase. This filler valve is quickly and easily swapped out with our gooseneck so that you can go from filling flat boxes to filling your automatic taper seamlessly.
It’s important to note that the LEVEL5 drywall compound pump is not compatible with goosenecks from other manufacturers due to the pump’s extended length. The LEVEL5 Gooseneck (4-714) has been specifically designed for use with this pump.
Best-In-Class Performance & Price
Here at LEVEL5 we know you want a pump that’s dependable, affordable and easy to maintain. Our pump’s innovative design features, premium build materials and 7-Year warranty provide unsurpassed value to the finisher.
