Besides the pump, what else do we need to buy to make the pump work? Please include the sizes of anything you mention

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.

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.

Depends on what you're doing with it. I use my Wayne PLS100 to pump water out of four connected rain barrels up to my back yard (probably about 15 feet vertical and about 50 yards horizontal). Does a great job. I use 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe. You need 1" male NPT adapters for your pvc pipe to screw into the female inlet and outlet of this pump. Use rigid pipe on the intake, as recommended by specs, as the pump is quite powerful and will collapse a flexible intake hose. I don't know why they call this pump portable. It seems more suited to a permanent installation (like mine). Still works after 4 years, but of course, I drain it when it gets cold, and I make sure it's primed before running it. I used a foot valve on the intake (which is inserted into 1 of four connected rain barrels), which ensures the pump is always primed. I highly recommend a foot valve for the intake. If you're using 1" pvc, you would need another 1" male npt thread adapter, as most foot valves have female npt thread. On the output I simply have two 3/4" hose bib connectors for 1" pvc pipe, and I use standard hose bibs for connecting up to two garden hoses. I hope this helps.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.

Thanks; it's going into a small tabletop waterfall and the space for the pump is limited. This will work. Thanks!mc

If you are asking for user operations, then a small pamphlet in three languages came with the pump and sleeve to tell you how to set it up and basic operations. That is all we have needed so far. Hope that helps.

I use an inexpensive electric pump similar to the one linked below. I think mine's a Coleman. Any electric pump should work, if it has multiple nozzle sizes/types.Coleman 12-Volt DC QuickPump, Colors May Vary

I would check PyramidAir. They have a section that shows what connections are needed for different pumps and rifles. Hope this helps.

The pump will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.

Sometimes the larger size does come with a pump. If you get one, save the pump! You can rinse it out and reuse it.

You need to provide an air compressor of some kind. I've heard about some success using a bike pump but an electric air compressor will provide the best results

Need to buy the gauges to see your inch of vacuum. Any pump will work just need the right gauges for it.

Because of the distance from the well I would suggest a bigger pump for you application.the manufacture I would also recommend, as I have 2 of their pumps, and I am very happy, with their products, and performance.T

We used the portable pump that you plug in since we were camping with electricity. You can buy them very inexpensively at the big box stores.

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps. Good luck :) L

You can see how the Topeak pump works in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5yBOWbGtRQHope it helps

Do you mean a pump with 3 nozzles. Small, medium and large? If yes then you will be fine. That is what I use. You need the large one for sure, and electric is a must. And make sure to inflate it no more then 80% of the capacity. Else your chair will start to do funny things after a while.

Do not buy it at all just use the provided adapters with your new pump . Don't risk it not working the description is wrong.
