  • Very cool. I would think that if you could pump up to a holding tank first, then pump up a plastic sprinkler. Use the same pump and just connect as needed or set up a valve system to control the pumps' input & output

  • @pr4runner thanks. That's a great idea. I know some people have done it already with this pump.

  • Muy bien primo,,,,muy bien

  • probly dont wanna run it dry

  • Thanks .Like the pump in a box. Surprised the pump could draw 100'. The usual is much less. The plastic impact sprinkler heads require far less water or GPM to operate.

  • @InTheSticks0001 Thank you. The 100ft away means distance to the water, it could probably do more than that... As long as the lift is not more than 9ft.

  • @netdeal01 Been reading lots of literature on several type of pumps. Pumps are far better at pushing water than sucking it, and perform better when the intake is one size larger than the output as it reduces line resistance. Following your example I installed and tested a Shurflo 2088 in a bucket. Using 10' 3/4" PVC as the intake to it's 1/2" fitting, and ran it through a filter and 40' of garden hose. It produced 1.5 gpm. Suspect the filter slowed it down and can be improved. Thanks.

  • That is so awesome! Please get in touch with me, we would like you to join us on an community initiative.

  • Does the unit actually come with the footwell? I'm interested, but need to know that I have all the parts

  • @stevelau1933: If you mean foot valve - yes it does.

    Thanks

  • where i can buy it? i didnt find it in ebay?

  • @yazanqadi, we ran out of stock right now. It will be back in there within a week.

    Thanks for watching.

  • Considering the distance and height you are pulling water from it's pretty impressive that you can even make that type of sprinkler work. If you had used a rain barrel right next to the pump I bet you could have watered your lawn as normal with a nice 10-15ft spread. Very nice work!

  • @helloman1976 thanks! Someone actually watched the whole thing :-)

    And you are right, sprinkler would probably work even better if the water source is closer.
