Can a tube be connected to move the water? Looking for a water pump to be used for aquaponics

It doesn't pump uphill more than a foot. As long as you are pumping straight across, it does fine. For moving water against gravity, you need a more powerful pump.

If you are looking for relatively low flow but quiet and reliable it works fine. Granted i only had it pumping maybe 8 inches of lift but at that height if works great. Not sure exactly how much water it moves but i would venture a gal or so a min. I use it to move water from a planted container to a container beside it housing goldfish for over-wintering. I don't want the fish eating my plants but want the plants well fertilized and this pump plus a return siphon do the job very nicely.

I am not sure but I would think that it would NOT get the necessary amount of feed water to operate properly. I would not take the chance of it running out of water and ruining the pump.

For the WaterFarm - Farm Kit set, you only need an air pump. The air tube pushes into the water holding in bucket bottom and moves the water up to the round drip tube at the plant level. So this type of set-up does not require a water pump, only an air pump. Hope that helps.

Yes, they all require a separate pump that goes in the water. The model your looking at needs a pump that does 400-700 gph.....it's about $30 hope this helps!

Not a good idea, if there was an attachment. There is a rubber attachment for a garden hose (several sizes) that uses water pressure. It has worked for me. Try a good hardware store.

Probably not, the pump is designed to push water not pull it. If you could gravity feed you might be able to supply enough flow but really it requires a pressurized water source to function correctly. However it is one of the best electric pressure washers I have seen. I am very pleased with mine.

Used this pump all summer on a hydrophonic system with a 40 gal tank. One large air stone and worked well for this type application. If you need a lot of water movement then this unit may not produce enough air.

They do have that type as I have a portable one that attaches to an ordinary garden hose. This unit I bought to replace a burnt out sump pump. The hardware to attach PVC pipe is 1 1/2 for this unit.

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.

Absolutly, this pump can really move some water at 3 and 4 of the variable speeds. you should have no problem at all with this pump getting water to the panels.

There is no tubing with the pump. It will push the water about 3 inches in the air when submerged, if that helps.

It has a connection to connect to a garden hose, you can mount it out side and cart the water in, or mount it at the tank and run a hose inside. There is a way to connect it to a faucet but you will need an adapter.

No. Any regular pump will work. I have several small aquarium pumps for my tomato buckets

Yes it could be connected to a faucet. A simple tubing to tubing adapter is all that is needed. This pump is meant to supply low demand devices like ice makers so flow will be severly limited. Not close to what you would expect from a faucet.

The pump isn't that fast as you would just using a wetting can. And as long as the distance is below the maximum head there should be no problem.

I don't believe so, it comes with specific tubes attached, even with regular pipes, you will need to buy coupling adapters. I don't think the internal pressure fudge could handle too forceful of a stream

My husband has used it to water plants uphill from where it is connected to the water faucet and it has worked fine. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
