I want to use this on my 2" inlet hose above strainer to make it easier to prime water pump. So is it suitable to be submerged in my creek when in use?

I don't see why not.. But I would make sure nothing from the creek interferes with the internal one way check valve (ie rocks or debris of any sort) I would put some kind of filter at inlet.

I don't know. Perhaps ask or call the manufacturer for that as being submerged might not be an intended use.

I have not completely submerged it but I believe capeable of that. It works great for me I would recommend this pump.

I used it primarily to clear the flex hose, I have about a 12 feet run with an accessible coupling in the middle. The bristles are quite soft and pliable so you may be able to run it thro' the filter channel inside the machine. I think if I was to try this I would feed it by hand into the machine rather than spin it up with an electric drill, that way you can detect if it will get caught up anywhere. I would guess that the minimum opening that you could safely ut this brush into would be 2" diameter. I hope it works for you.

It did not work for my in ground. It would not prime when above the water level. If your pump sits below water level it may work for you.

I don't think it's really intended to be submerged but I don't see why it would hurt it. It's mainly intended to pump out water that collects on, say, a basement floor or a sump. Possibly the electrical cord isn't waterproof enough for constant use underwater, but I don't know about that. Maybe ask the manufacturer?

You cannot use this at the same time as a rubber stopper -- the strainer does not provide a waterproof seal -- it sits in the drain opening.

I'm assuming you've got one on the pump since 2hp could blow most garden type hoses. You shouldn't exceed 30psi on the line and the flow should be fine. If the pressure is unregulated, who knows what it will do to your system.

I had no need to do that. But, u might want to consider an adapter size to fit? Half an inch diameter seems to me would be sufficient with the water pressure I have. Hope this helps.

I'm not a Plumber but I can't see why not, remember the value needs to open with the pressure from the pump, the water cannot be able to travel in another direction. Let's say it's the drain pipe from upstairs you are talking about and it also goes to the sewer outside the building. The water will take the path of least resistance. Valve works great, remember you need the pressure from the pump to open the valve. It is spring loaded. Good Luck

I wouldn't recommend it for that application. The impeller is pretty small and may jam up if some debris makes it past the small blue strainer. If you choose to use the model be sure to check around the blue strainer often and unsnap the pump from the strainer to check for buildup. jeff

I'm not an expert, but I don't believe this is an applicable hose for that type of use. This is a hose for use after a regulator.

I would say no. It is not sealed for submerging. More intended for surface pumping. It works great!

You don't put a hose on the threaded end that goes through the hull to pick up water. The barbed outlet is for the hose, size is 3/4". You can get bilge pump hose at amazon. If you are using this for a bait well pump you will need to make a spray pipe to aerate the water, 1/2" pvc pipe works good for this. Drill some 1/8 to 3/16 holes along the length for the pipe about 1" apart and cap one end, length of pipe depends on the size of tank or bucket. Hope this helps you out.

If you are getting the water from a pond or stream, you should buy a valve/filter to attach to the intake hose. The filter will keep out dirt, plants, etc. and the valve keeps the water from draining out of the pump when it is turned off (so you do not need to prime it each time you use it). I did not use pvc pipe, but at least a very stiff hose is needed.

I think just fine. My pond, and pump at bottom of pond has a 10' rise up a winding creek bed to a waterfall. Works great. Thanks for asking.

It does have a connector for a garden hose. Not exactly sure how far your trying to pump it. This pump Can't be totally submersed under water, just in case you are talking about putting it at the bottom of a barrel. It will only lift water about 4 ft above it, so take that into consideration. Might be ok for a small garden or light watering, since it's run off of batteries. Feel free to ask me again, if you still need assistance. Thank you very much, Jt's Online Deals!

It should work it doesn't use threads it has the small opening tgat just slides down over the pipe. Tgere is little pressure because the water shoots through the waterfall
