If you were to use a much larger than 5 gallon bucket would the water pressure cause an issue with leaking or anything? For instance 30 gal trash can

Not used anything larger but keeping them out of it keeps leakage to a minimum.

Mine all leaked with just a 5 gallon bucket. These are some kind of cheap knock offs. I bought another set from a poultry supplier and none of them leaked. Even if you get the good ones I'm not sure what would happen with a 30 gallon bucket. Why not just use a bunch of 5 gallon buckets?

Possibly, it is a simple check ball system. I don't know the application bit it seems that that much water might get stagnant and unsuitable for drinking at that capacity. I would be more worried about that.

I don't think so, I have a fountain from The Chicken Fountain and it uses the same type of nipples and its hooked up to my garden hose. It does have a float valve inside so I don't think the nipples are actually under pressure. I also made a nipple waterer and it is gravity fed from a 13 gal cooler, the nipples don't leak from that either.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

Yes, a 5 gal waterer will easily fit on it. I use a 5 gal metal waterer on mine and have had no problems.

Hi, Yes and no. It depends how tall & strong you are. When the can is filled, I find it to be quite heavy. I use my gas can to fill my snowblower tank...and it's heavy and awkward lifting & tipping the can to fill such a small tank. I wish that I purchased a 2 or 3 gallon can the same company, but not sure they make them. Other than the size & weight of the 5 gallon can, I'm quite pleased with the product.

This model can be used with either 1gallon or 5 gallon buckets...I wouldn't recommend any can size smaller than a 1 gallon.

I have two buckets that I believe are 3 gallon size. It does work in them, and since I am using them to wash cloth diapers it helps me to keep the number lower to clean, but I think a 5 gallon bucket would be better. I highly recommend this washer. I use it to prewash the diapers since our machine is an HE type--low water and diapers does NOT mix--but have also used it on other items that I needed without wanting to do a full machine load and it was great.

Yes. I have a 5gal bucket as a sump with 1.5" pvc out of my pump. plenty of room.

Absolutely I use a 5 gal bucket to hold the detergent an drop the hose in walk it with me as I power wash

Answer, I think so if you set the pump at the same level as the top of the bucket. I only used the sprayer with a one gallon bucket and it work great. took longer to setup and cleanup than actually spraying. I like the sprayer and the way it works. the spray gun is high quality and the pump runs well.

Suggestion, it might work. Switch out bucket with a very tall five gallon. sit directly on floor

As long as you cover the bucket and watch the water level you should be fine.

the bags don't have a very wide mouth so I really doubt that you could use one for a 5.2 gallon trash can.they make some bigger bags but be careful because some of them are super thin.

I'm not aware of any adjustments. And there's no way a 5 gallon bucket will fit.

I can't see how it would work as a waterer. It would only hold a little cause it would overflow. Now that winter is over, a plain old bucket would be better.

To give you a reference point, my pump sits in a typical Home Depot 5 gallon utility bucket with an inch or two to spare around the perimeter. I am not sure what application you plan on using the pump for, but a five gallon bucket enclosure is as small a sump pit enclosure you could feasibly have. My pump sits in a five gallon bucket with holes drilled in the sides on a bed of gravel in my window well.

It would be to much pressure on them and they would leak. Psi is pounds per square inch. They are made to hook on a bucket

I have mine sitting inside a 5 gallon bucket. The bucket is drilled with lots of holes and is dug down in the ground to act as a sump. The pump fits pretty snug in the bucket.
