Could i hook this up a hose and place in my rain barrel to water my flowers with?

I would contact the manufacturer about that specifically, but I don't see why not. We use it to empty our yard when it floods so it sits in inches of water and pumps it at a good speed.

It should work. Plug it into a grounded GFCI outlet and you can't let it run dry or it can overheat so an off/on switch would be good. . I also have a similar submersible pump which says the max water depth is 20 feet so submersing in a water barrel should be no problem.

You could use it inside. You would need a hook of sorts. Also if it is a little over-watered, it will drip out. Other than that, it would work great inside.

Yes, you can attach a garden hose directly. I added an aerator to the faucet to give a stronger stream of water.

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.

Yes, actually it's not bad for watering. The stream is very controllable. Set it and just hold the hose.

I don't think so. My hose seeps - not sprays, so I end up winding it around some plants, so the water gets to them all.

I would think so, mine is connected to a hose, then the faucet. There just needs to be pressure in the line. I wanted to run mine off my rain barrel, doesn't work. There needs to be some water pressure, to get the soaker hose to work.

I don't think a garden hose will attach to the pump (I think the pumps output hole may be too small) but you can definitely pick up plastic tubing from Home Depot that fits with the length you need. You will also need to factor in depth of barrel and may need a waterproof extension cord for the pump to sit on the bottom of barrel if the barrel is more than a couple of feet deep.

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!

While you can set the rain barrel in your garden, rain barrels that are not connected to a downspout or placed in a position where they can collect roof water do not fill up very quickly.

Yes you can provided the hole you drilled to insert the divertor hose is below the hole you have at the top of your rain barrel for overflow. Once the water in the barrel reaches the divertor hole and hose it will stop putting water inside the barrel.

Looks like you could just hook up a regular hose in between your water source and the area you want watered with the soaker hose.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. I bought the 1/2 inch diameter version for transporting the water to various areas of my garden. I then punch a hole for a 1/4 feed at locations where I want drip irrigation. You won't have enough water flow for multiple locations if your main transport line is only 1/4 inch.

Yes you can, but you would have to move the barrel according to how hard the rain was coming down. I have 3 of these rain barrels all at the corners of my home with down spouts, but in front of my house I don't have gutters and I just use a large storage tub to catch the water - although the barrels are much more attractive and functional because of the house and spout. I live in Las Vegas, and these barrels were one of the best purchases I have made to help conserve water in a very dry region. Good luck, and keep up the conservation.

Yes . Also, you could use one hose . Buy an adapter that you can attach a drip irrigation system (1/8 " tubing) to and put an emitter at each tree . This works for smaller trees. A drip system will put out. 2/3 gl per hour.

Not well. I hoped to use it with a soaker but was disappointed. I did use it with a normal hose to transfer water fromone barrel to another and it worked ok in that task.

I haven't used a rain barrel system so don't have an answer for you-mine is on a timer from a faucet.
