Can I use this to transfer water from a farm pond to lawn/garden? [Pond same elevation as lawn so gravity will help]

You could, but you might be better off with a pump that stays out of the water to be pump.... that way you don't get your feet wet. E.g a Teel pump with an "in " hose (out of the pond) and an "out" hose (onto the lawn). teelpumpcatalog.com

I hope you added it. Although it's good to pump it around I think it will be good for the pond. I also shut my pump down for the winter I run an aireator through the winter to keep hole in ice for gas release. I'm sure that moves the water around also. Good luck.

I think if you have a level surface and you line it first so the liner goes up the sides and use a soil that will absorb the water, it would be fine. Garden soil usually has absorbing beads in it. I placed mine on the grass and lined it with weed liner and it worked great. Once you have all the soil in it, it is very stable and the plants are beautiful.

I live in Texas and as far as I know we still can use it here. I could only guess that it would be an environmental issue there in Florida since your water levels are closer to the grounds than ours. We go almost 300 feet before getting water.

sorry, it just send by it's self. I have a 1000 gallon pond that is 2 feet deep. Again, it did not work.

The pond kit may be used above ground as long as you have support around the entire outside. Otherwise, it will collapse under the weight of the water.

Yes. We have done exactly that. Just don't raise the end of the hose higher than the water level as you need the natural water pressure for it to work (no pumps are included).

This filter is designed to be used indoors so,if you want it outdoors you have to think how to protect it from rain, sun and dust.Second. If filter is placed at the same level of pond surface or above the level of ponds surface, it wont work out becuse this device is meant to be below a tank, it uses gravity to prime, so being at the same level or above the level of water it wont suck water in.Cheers.

I believe you will not be satisfied with this pump in that application. It move a fairly high volume of water a low pressure on an almost level plane, such as from the bilge of a small boat. Pumping 7 feet elevation will really tax its capacity.

I would say yes I am going to try it on my pond. I also am going to shorten the bag using a hose clamp as I only have 2' deal.

Yes. All you need to do is unscrew a cap on the back and screw on a section of garden hose for a gravity drain. I drain mine to a small lift pump that I bought at Lowe's.

I use this container as a planter box and have drilled out the punch outs for drainage. I suggest that you contact the manufacture ( RTS Companies, Inc) at rtscompaniesinc.com, regarding its use as a pond and its lifetime. Click on Contact in the upper right hand corner. They usually respond within 24 hours.

I would probably drain pond attach to side as high up as possible to keep inlet wires above water level and silicone all around to stop any ingress of water and check peroidically should work fine

Obviously you need a pump, electrical connections. this is not a gravity fed operation. You need to add power. I guess you could try gravity but all you will get is a trickle at the nosseles of no value

yes it will work i use it to transfer water from my truck 20 feet up to my catchment tank its not the fastest but works well

Yes, i would say it can be used as a waterfall pump as long as the reservoir level is above the pump

Yes you can. Look at the water flow chart to see if this will supply what you need.
