Will this pump work well enough with this soaker hose from a barrel? http://amzn.com/B00F0R6WLE

Yes. I have the pump in lower of two off-set rain barrels, pumping water into main line that splits for 2 soakers hoses 30 feet long in garden

Probably not, depending how much higher water barrel is to drop line. I have a small pump inserted in mine. This provides the pressure needed to put water where I need it. Although I have not tried to connect drip irrigation, this may cause a backflow of pressure to the pump.

Not sure but this hose was hard to move around. If you keep it in the same area permanently, it will be fine. I prefer the old fashioned soakers that are light weight and green vinyl. It is a very efficient use of water, when you do not have auto sprinkilers.

I don't think so as there is only one hose coming out of it BUT you can link barrels together so when one gets full, it drains into the next one and so on. You'd just need to drill an additional hole on the opposite side of the original one to put the hose in.

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

Check with Gilmour. I can just say it has been the best soaker hose I have ever bought.

Sure. The pump self primes up to two feet. So I don't think it could pull up the bottom of the barrel, but if u place the pump beside bottom of the barrel I'm sure the syphon effect would do the rest. I'm using mine with a sink sprayer for my shower. Works great.

It will connect to a standard hose with no problem. Don't open the hose bib very much or you will burst the soaker. The best bet is to put a shut off valve such as Gilmour 03V Brass Garden Hose Connector with Shut-Off Valve in between the hose and soaker so that you can limit the water flow.

This pump works good for me. I pump water from a 55 gallon barrel about 8 feet to a shower.I'm not sure it will "lift" water from 15 feet or not?Look at a bigger pump. It's your call.

It should. We have two of these pumps, one running about eight feet with an immediate rise about four feet. The second pump is pushing water though a 1.5" hose going 30-40ft with a 6 ft rise and their is no lose of power -- seems to operate with the same pressure as the shorter run -- based on our experience, I think you should be fine.

It should, but remember it is a air tight system.you have to be sure all of the air is out when you fill the hose and let out the air in the valve on pump.once all air is out it will work.have a clean filter as well.

This will work, but you need a adapter so it can hook to the hose on your system. Second thing, it may take awhile because its a single stage pump. Best of luck to you...

I think so. The impellers on this pump are rubber and do an adequate job of pumping the water under a small load. I would think a 4' hose on both sides of the pump would be the extent of it's abilities to move water without putting undue strain on the impellers. In other words, 6-8 ft. would be the maximum lift I would place on the system (4' from rain barrel to pump + 4' from pump to raised bed). If your rain barrel has a faucet tap at the bottom you might increase this a bit as the head pressure from the water in the barrel would aid the pump in it's action.

Wand should work with the pump however mine did not come with a swivel or coupling to match with the pressure hose. You probably will need to identify what type/size you have to make the connection

I've got this pump sitting at the bottom of my rain-barrel pushing water through a "DIG" micro-irrigation kit that is watering over 20 plants/bushes spread out amongst 100' of tubing, and its got plenty of umph, so I can't imagine you'd have any problems moving water 4.5ft.

Yes it will. Make sure the threaded part doesn't intrude into the barrel, you may need to dress it up a little with a Dremel or a file.

I think it would, because the drain is at the bottom of the barrel. My question is how will you get it in place uphill. You'll have to level it somehow, s then it should work fine. I love mine!
