can I just hook this up to a drip hose?

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.

no not really. You cannot water anything higher than the pump level and the max height above the water barrel is 3 meters. The pump is extremely small, more of a toy pump if you ask me :).

There are threaded adapters in the box with this product. You can probably hook up a hose directly, but if you need another adapter it will be a standard one available at your hardware store.

If you mean common garden hose or half inch drip line, the tap spigot from the barrel as it is threaded for standard garden hose. There are common adapters to convert from garden hose to pipe thread.

No, you cannot connect the valve directly to hose faucet. The threads on the valve are not compatible with the threads on the faucet. There are PVC fittings available that you can use to fabricate an intermediate link that enable you to hook the valve to the end of a section of hose that is attached to a faucet, but it cannot be hooked direct.

You could, but there probably wouldn't be enough pressure to let the hose work properly. However filling a rain barrel and attaching a soaker to the bottom of the rain barrel should provide enough pressure.

I am pretty sure you could even if you would need an adapter ... we have ours attached to an outside spigot with a hose ...

I don't know. I do have one of outlets tied into my drip system and it works ok.

Yes. But you will need to buy a separate hose and regulator. I bought the red dragon connector and one male to male adapter from the home depot. My setup works for me.

The system you use is irrelevant, a drip line is a drip line. The only thing that matters is that your system uses 1/4" line. No connector needed this plug snugly into the end of a 1/4" line.

We have ours hooked to a hose that runs from the outdoor water faucet to our garden since the garden is about 75' from the faucet. It would certainly hook up directly to the faucet as well.

Yes, the main 1/2" hose runs from your faucet (which has the filter, timer and pressure reducer) and run the hose "near" to the plants that you want to irrigate. Then you insert multiple 1/4" hoses into the 1/2" hose (the location of insertion is near to where you want to drip) to drip water at the base of your plant. I recommend that you look on YouTube.com to view a video if you want further tips and information.

I don't think you will need to. It takes up a tiny amount of space compared to a traditional hose. It defeats the purpose of buying the thin hose.

Yes. You have to buy a adapter hose from Home Depot or Lowes, much like the hook up on your outdoor cooking grill. Simple to do.

I'm not sure if you can hook a hose up to it. You might be able to. Perhaps you can get a siphon with a longer hose. Wish I could be more help.

Yes. I'm watering four separate areas with mine. The kit comes with a length of brown drip hose and a length of black non-drip hose; I go non-drip from faucet to first bed, drip through first bed, non-drip across a short section to second bed, drip through second bed, non-drip underground inside a length of PVC pipe (so I can roll heavy carts across) to third bed, drip through third bed, then underground in PVC again to fourth drip bed. Keep total length in mind. Also, the 18-inch spacing in the drip section is a little long - if a bed is more than 2 feet wide you'll want a staggered double pass of drip. And the kit doesn't have near enough straight-through connectors for any of this. The fat brown connectors in the kit work great (hold the tip of the hose in an inch of just-boiled water for a few minutes and they slide right in), the supposedly half-inch skinny black connectors that Home Depot sells leak, and the expensive "universal" connectors are a joke. No one seems to sell the fat brown connectors except at RainBird's website, and by the time you pay shipping you've spent as much as the kit. I finally found some fat GREY 30-cent half-inch connectors at Lowe's, from another manufacturer, that work great.

Definitely, this thing is great. Uses a bit of water so attaching a hose is your best bet. Go for it you won't be sorry.

I have not tried that. the connection on the sink unit is for a garden hose to be screwed into. I bought it to use while i had my kitchen torn apart for remodel but had it hooked to the garden hose.
