The area I'd like to use this for is a bit far from my water source. Does anyone know if it's possible to use some sort of extension to begin dispensing water 30-40 feet from a faucet?

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.

Sure, just use a regular hose. I have the weeper/soakers set up in all my beds and just move the far end of the regular hose from one soaker to the next. It works fine. Just use low pressure when you turn on the water.

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 http://www.amazon.com/Gilmour-03V-Garden-Connector-Shut-Off/dp/B0006U66B6/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1399327884&sr=1-2&keywords=hose+shutoff in between the hose and soaker so that you can limit the water flow.

Sure, just hook a regular hose between it at the faucet. That is how I use it.

I have used a 125 foot of hose routinley w/o problems. You only need a small amout of positive water pressure for a soker to work.

I had the same issue, as I was watering a vegetable garden that wasn't close to my spigot. I used a regular 25' hose and then added the soaker hose to that.

My garden is at least that distance from my faucet. I just use a regular hose to the garden, then the soaker hose in the garden. Works great! But I don't recommend putting ANOTHER soaker hose at the end of the first one. Then the pressure would be too low and it won't distribute evenly.

I don't think you can extend it. I wish I could have because it didn't go around the whole umbrella we had over our table. But there are different ones you can get other than this that do connect. The longer it is the less pressure. These clog very quick in hard water areas so buy the softener filter to attach it to! Would be worth it, makes it last longer.

It's the point to a well!! Attach 1.25" sections of pipe and sink until you hit the water level (usually 25 feet or less)

While this is great at stopping leaks, I don't believe it will work in your application. The water would just find another location.

Not long enough. It only extends about 3' above the top of the handle. I did not buy the extension, because I am not sure if it is an attachment that you can leave on all the time. I like the vac, but was disappointed with the reach of the extension hose. It is ok for lower work, but not for high work.

Not really - My barrel is about 8" above the ground and when the barrel is partially full, or even full, the pressure is adequate to fill watering cans or water nearby plants but not to actually "spray" very far as you would with an outdoor faucet. This unit works great for its intended purpose - to water our plants with "free" untreated water.

You likely could extend the hose, however the pump inside the sprayer was probably not designed to draw liquid much beyond the length of the provided hose. You're probably further ahead buying or renting a unit where the reservoir and pump are at one end of the hose and the spray nozzle is at the other. An example on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Magnum-262805-Airless-Sprayer/dp/B0026SSW8G/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408148058&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=graco+paint+sprayer+medium+duty

Not sure that it is available on this type of faucet. I think you would have to use some sort of stopper.

hello. the line is 19 inches....i think it wont work. I went to lowes and got 1-foot extension lines. you need room to work with. also make sure you screw the copper rods tightly to the faucet or it we leak and you have tpo take the whole thing off to fix it. if you have any other questions u can call me . dave 818 804-1729. good luck.

I suppose you might be able to use it to create sink if you have a bucket or tank to pump from within a couple feet of where your sink is located. Keep in mind the pump has to be submerged in the water supply and has no on/off switch on the cord (you'd have to put one where it plugs into the power outlet (would be a shock hazard if turning it off with wet hands). If you're only pumping the water through 2-3 feet of hose, the water reaches the end of the hose quickly. With some ingenuity you might be able to make the pump work for your purpose, but I think a cheap transfer pump might be a better choice. Hope this helps.

Ours spreads out about 10 in, so if the faucet is in the middle it will go about 6 in from the edge; since the spray is rather strong, it should have no problem reaching all around.

With the tip on the end to spread the spray only 12 to 15 feet. With that off and pretty good water pressure I could get a single stream of just about 30 feet.

Yes you can put a little longer hose on it. I wouldn't go past the 30 ft mark on less you get a bigger pump.

Yes, in fact the hose extends nearly two feet out of the faucet to allow use over the countertop if you wish. It works quite well and we love the faucet.

Texas Skunk, I could not attach my Claber 8454 directly to the outdoor water faucet because the housing on the timer would hit the house when attempting to screw the timer onto the faucet. I chose to add a 3 foot water hose between the outdoor faucet and the timer and this allowed me to hid the timer behind a landscaping bush. My timer lays flat on the landscaping rock that surrounds the plants. The timer has worked flawlessly for the past two years. Hope this helps! Keith

Yes, and some stores also carry a 'hose extension' that you could use in conjunction with the supplied hose. I should also note, my purchased unit came with a hose that was longer than I had anticipated, a full 5 feet long, and was very adequate.

The Ridgid website states that you can go up to 30 feet with extensions. This has been a pretty handy tool for plumbing and HVAC jobs as well as one job where I just needed to guide a bolt into a cramped space.
