Do you have to have a hose hooked up to it? Can you just fill it when needed with a jug or something?

I can't remember how many plugs comes in the box. It has two holes;one on either side, to hook a hose to depending on location. If two plugs come in the box, then you would not need to hook it to a water hose. You would have to make sure you filled it every day so that the pump doesn't burn out.

No you dont have to have it hooked up to a hose. It comes with a plug to put where the hose hook up is.

A small adapter hose comes with the unit and you attach that to a regular hose and run it out to wherever you want. It is a great unit!

No air hose needed. The dispenser has a gasket seal and opens just long enough to feed. Be sure to fill it with much more flake food than you will need. It doesn't waste, but needs a good deserve.

As far as I know you can only fill it up with the electric pump. I don't remember seeing any manual way of filling it.

No. There is no hose with the truck. Due to winter weather kids have not played with it outside ,so I have not used water

It comes with a hose but only a little 3 ft one. I just use it to fill up watering cans and buckets

I haven't tried that, but I did hook it onto a regular hose (as I only bought one) and it worked okay, just seemed to leak at the connection. Don't see why you couldn't.

You don't need a pump. Everything is done with water pressure jetting through the hose & gravity, which drains your tanks.

There is no option of attaching a hose on this model. I empty the reservoir about every 10-12 days.

It has a suction hose that you drop into the container of whatever solution you are trying to add. You can sit the jug on the ground or, like I do hang it from the handle with a string or wire. It works perfectly.

You can use either. I started using the bucket only on mine, but it filled very quickly. It took &lt; 24 hrs to fill the bucket then it goes into kind of a standby mode waiting for the bucket to be emptied. I had to switch the the hose (by default it works with just the bucket, but you can attach the drain hose and water goes there instead).

Typically you can just stick your hose into your water source and pull the handle backwards and forwards until the water comes out. If that doesnt work you can get some water in the tube and blow the water into the pumps housing. This helps actually get water into the body of the pump if it wont pickup the water from its source. You have to understand that you need to allow your water source to not be sealed up otherwise your container of water will create a vacum as you are pumping something out and do not introduce air. If your water source is sealed it will need venting to stop the vacum. I used mine as a portable beer pump. Cheers

No the hose is not required once you have the desired level of water in the pools.

No, once filled the tank is under too much pressure. You would need a hose that can handle 800+ psi.

you will need a pump. I just blew mine up like a balloon, its not that big so it was easy to do. Also, you don't want to fill it to full or it won't have any movement.

There are threaded adapters in the box with this product. You can probably hook up a hose directly, but if you need another adapter it will be a standard one available at your hardware store.
