Can it work with a low Pressure ( tank of rainwater ) and at horizontal position?

Yes, but obviously top level of tank must be higher than piping. Higher the better.

I wouldn't recommend for that application as the pressure is not high enough.

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.

Yes. It works quite well with a well. Not much of a water pressure hit when using this device either.

Probably not. You would need an adaptor for the regulator and there might be not enough pressure even though it says 1/2lb psi when my big tank gets real low it does have a problem. biggest issue will be the threads . I run mine on either a 40 lb or a 20 lb and they run it for a long time with daily showers.

I don't see any reason that would prvent it from working in the vertical position as long as you follow the inlet/outlet flow positions. it's the directional flow of the water and not gravity that gets the job done.

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

If you mean vertically, i'm sure it can. Mine is mounted horizontal where the water fitting is on the right and the air fitting is on the left. It shouldn't make a difference as this is just an air bladder assist. Hope this helps.

The more precisely level the better, but I only had an almost-level spot and it still works. The problem is just that the water is leaning to one side and putting extra pressure on one side. If it's slightly off-level, it is still workable.

Yeah, it can, and is recommended, be set horizontally. I choose not to put mine horizontal, because my tank is divided and it wouldn't fit. But it says on the instructions when you get it that it is recommended to be placed horizontally.

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.

If you pitch it low to the ground and keep the peak angle low, it should work well. Though it will be close quarters, this should keep even a sideways rain off you... for the most part.

You can run it as long as you have air flow out. Also, you will not be able to use the rain guard which runs down at a angle. Just don't install that piece but the main thing is air flow and that should not be a problem. It's a great unit. Joe R.

I'm not sure you would have much water pressure. There is quite a bit of capacity in the tank portion but your pressure would likely drop off substantially. I plumbed a PVC line to mine so it always has pressure but I can disconnect it at a plumbed union if needful.

Horizontal does not affect the head pressure. It should be able to do horizontal and vertical just fine.

You can install a check valve in any position you wish, however I am not sure why you would ever need to use it in a horizontal position. One uses this valve to stop back flow.

any position will probably work, it will let water flow from holding tank, but will only allow water to flow the same as you unplugging tank
