Can you use this to start a siphon on a garden hose to drain water off a pool cover?

It would not be a good idea. The pump is not designed to move that much liquid. The pump would wear its self out because it is designed to move small amounts of liquid from 1 gallon to 20 gals. It sems to me that it is designed to pump small amounts of liquid at a time.

I would have to give an answer of NO! Garden hose is much to soft and are to large in diameter. Use a regular hose clamp for many types of plastic hoses.

I would say yes but it probably depends on the size of the pool. I use it to fill a lake reft that's about 10ft by 10ft with no problem.

I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.

Yes it could. It is a little big for an above ground pools, unless you have a lot of leaves in the pool. You hook a garden hose to it, which creates an updraft in the water, drawing up the leaves into a screen mesh bag. There is an optional fine mesh bag ($9.95) that would hold smaller debris. It puts water in the pool while it is working, so it fills the pool. This is not a big deal with an in ground pool because of the much larger size of the pool.

sure it can, not its intended use. The weight of the water in the hoses will likely be an issue. Just go to a hardware store and buy some brass fittings to get you from hose thread to that 3/8 brass air fitting thread. This tool is junk by the way, it can hardly handle air (broke in first 3 months), so I think it will struggle (break) with water.

I do think it would work-Just be very careful about using an extension cord around water-You could also get the fitting that screws on your faucet and run a hose to the pool direct-You could buy it a a real plumbing store-

If you plan to use it as in inline siphon then no. The fittings easily pop out of the ends for quick cleaning and the check valve would be too restrictive and over work your pump.

I would not recommend this for anything except an above ground. An inground pool requires much more plumbing and the pressure has to travel a farther distance I do not think it would suffice.

Not sure about that. It would have to be round and you would need the appropriate size. Try a garden hose with a nozzle on the end.

I assume the pump can be used to water garden through the regular hose. I used the pump to drain a littleback yard pond and attached a garden hose to it for the water to be pumped out. Sorry to say the pump didnot work very long. I used it twice and it didn't work anymore.

My opinion is no. You might be better off with a siphon which has a bulb that you squeeze. This shaker-type siphon will probably come out of the liquid when you shake it to start the siphon.

I don't think so. If you wanted to do that I think you need a thinner and longer siphon.

I think it would. The adapter for the end of the hose is weighted and designed to draw water from the bottom of what you're pumping out of. That being said I've never actually tried it but in theory it should work.

I'm not a Plumber but I can't see why not, remember the value needs to open with the pressure from the pump, the water cannot be able to travel in another direction. Let's say it's the drain pipe from upstairs you are talking about and it also goes to the sewer outside the building. The water will take the path of least resistance. Valve works great, remember you need the pressure from the pump to open the valve. It is spring loaded. Good Luck

It is too powerful for garden hose and connector will not fit. You may use 1-2Hp for garden
