  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • Thanks Compassionatetoo, pump is back in stock now, please visit our website for my contact info.

  • Muy bien primo,,,,muy bien

  • probly dont wanna run it dry

  • @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.
