Can I attach this to a pump, and use this indoors for watering plants that are high up ? I am hoping it is controlled enough to not soak my floors.

That might be ill advised because the hand valve is in segmented adjustments of about 5 or 6.Maybe if you can control the pressure to the wand?

After about a month the handle began to leak. The controll switch or whatever you want to call it.

You can use this as any other nozzle. As far as leakage, as long as your connections are tight, no problem.

Based on other feedback and reviews I have seen I would not recommend that. There is a circuit board in this pump that controls all of the various operations and I have read reviews that stated if it gets wet/damaged, the pump is not operational. I have my pump in a pool equipment shed along with the filter and heater and even with that, during the winter months I will be covering the pump in plastic to ensure it does not get wet/damp.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.

It does have a connector for a garden hose. Not exactly sure how far your trying to pump it. This pump Can't be totally submersed under water, just in case you are talking about putting it at the bottom of a barrel. It will only lift water about 4 ft above it, so take that into consideration. Might be ok for a small garden or light watering, since it's run off of batteries. Feel free to ask me again, if you still need assistance. Thank you very much, Jt's Online Deals!

It is a pain if the unit is not elevated. I managed to hook up a tube that drained outside making it much easier. When I first got this unit it would constantly leak over the floor.

Yes. We have done exactly that. Just don't raise the end of the hose higher than the water level as you need the natural water pressure for it to work (no pumps are included).

Yes you can the amount of the space being watered depends on the water pressure. If you want to water a small space just use minimum water pressure.

Also wanted to mention this unit works well in a pit as the legs keep it too far from the ground to use to get water off say the basement floor. I have a portable unit that attached right to a garden hose out of the box plus it sits pretty flush to any surface you put it on thus getting the water off the floor as much as possible. My portable unit kicks on when it senses water and shuts itself off when there's no more water to suck up.

yes it is made to attach to a hose. I would not use it inside unless you want wet floors. The one I had leaked and I returned it.

Yes, that is how mine is set up (pump is on the second floor though). As long as the water can circulate in a loop, you should not have any problem. I believe that "head", in this case, is referring more to resistance than actual height. This pump is just made to move water, not pressurize it, so it should work at any height as long as the water is "falling" back down to where it is drawn from without much resistance. At least that's how I understand it.

I don't think so. But should be good for watering plants. Thats what I use it for

If you are looking for a switch to activate the pump at a certain water level and then shut off the pump when the water is gone, this will not work. I would look for micro switch.

Yes. The drip rate can be controlled. There is a sensitive switch for that. IT takes a little patience but it is well worth it

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

It's less than ideal for watering plants that need a soft or light watering pattern. It's very difficult to get the output to a nice, soft fan shape. It's fine for watering bushes, trees, etc.

There are pumps out there that will do what you want. I have a portable one that sits flush on the floor and has a metal holed screen on the bottom to keep debris out. I actually had to use it when my built in sump pump stopped working. It pretty much sucked up all the water in the basement into just wet looking spots. You just attach any size garden hose to it and pump it out to where you want it to go. I pumped it into a basement sink. The one I have has no on off switch and it turns itself off when there's no longer water to suck up.

This pump is meant to draw water from a source (ie pond, containment etc)....I would look at purchasing a sprinkler boooster pump for your purpose.
