I was thinking of attaching a landscape waterfall pump ( with a ramp), so that there could be a current, for exercise. Is it sturdy enough?

i just have a more powerful filter/pump attached which keeps the water agitated but for adding a ramp & a pump for current? I don't believe thats a good idea. Top inflatable ring needs a air replenishment every week or so to keep it semi rigid. Pool is fine for a few kids or just floating on a air mattress

Wow, I can't imagine that would work. Creating enough current for resistance would most likely be more then the structure would endure. A comercial pool designed for the purpose would cost several 10's of thousands of dollars. I would suggest a cocktail and soaking in peace is a more reasonable plan. However, that said, please post your result. Have an awesome summer, best regards. Mark

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

That will work... But, keep in mind, water is also the cooling medium for the pump. Also, the pressure coming out isnt as strong. For a drill, you would probably need something with a higher output.

My guess is that it wouldn't be a good use for this pump. Pumping with no back pressure can be a pretty good work out. With 20-30 feet of water you'd be lucky to make it for more than a minute

Ok, My Old one broke down last season and yes its placed above water level not in the water .Im looking for à relyable pump, is there à cheaper one?Per

I would not leave it outside and don't consider it weather proof....but it is a very sturdy pump. Any 120 volt powered motor is going to fail if it gets wet enough and would also be dangerous if not run off a GFCI powered outlet...

Yes its great. I made a hole in center where the fountain head from my pond sprays up so it covers the pond , but allows the waterfall to operate. Weigh it down with some rocks in case of heavy wind. It is a terrific product and lays nice and flat

Yes. I'd think so. I would think after a few moves it could become damaged though - since there isn't any reinforcing I would think it wasn't designed for frequent handling. I suspect if a person were careful it might work. If I remember correctly it weighs a few pounds. This would not be my first choice for hiking / backpacking.

I've never tried but it is a solid piece of equipment so as long as there is no rain I would say go for it!

In my opinion, no: Imagine a pump about the size of a golf ball. You would have to place the pump on some kind of platform to get the water to even break the surface.

The flow is not adjustable. The size of pump depends on the lifting requirement for your pond flow.

Yes I can help. The rubber bands are so you can anchor the fountain to the ground to stabilize it.

I have not used mine for that, only an outdoor fountain. I think it would as it very thick & tough. Pun intended.

Though it seems very sturdy to use for casual floating about, I would be a bit nervous about the rock bit. Maybe bumping into them as long as they aren't jagged but not sure about scraping over them if there are sharp ones. I wouldn't worry about the white water at all. Good handles to grab onto for being jostled about. I would ask about the severity of the rocks. If they aren't treacherous, I would do it.

It is much thicker gauge construction then you would find for a pool float. It will hold up to sliding against some smooth river rock with some weight. Just know you are down and out if it pops.

The pump is strong enough. A valve stem fitting does not come with the pump..I only use my pump for Halkey valves in pontoons on inflatables...

Yes it is feasible. Once you fold it down with a flip of the brace it's portable. It may be a bit awkward but it's not heavy and the fun they will have is worth it. This was for my grandson and my daughter purchased an inexpensive wading pool and created a water-park. Of course, I then went to sam's and bought a pack of the interlocking rubber squares to create a softer landing. They will love it.
