Could this be used on a 3000 gallon storage cistern. The cistern holds well water until it receives a demand from the home. Sprinkler left on! ooops

You can set the floats at any level you choose. It will work in any size tank.

I'm not familiar with cisterns, but as long there is room for it to operate and something to attach the float to, I would think it would be a good solution.

should work fine. As long as you have access to the inside of the cistern, you can install it. But, depending on how the cistern is built (if it is concrete with a concrete lid), if the alarm "speaker" is in the cistern, you may not be able to hear the alarm from very far away. If you can get the alarm out of the cistern, and pointed in a direction where you will hear it, you should be fine. weather durability may be another thing to have to address.

Hugh, I'm not sure. You could look at www.sprinklerwarehouse.com and ask that question.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

I don't think that would be possible. There are plenty of aereating(?sp)holes on bin to let water run off. We had some heavy rain and I didn't have any problems with it.

It will work to some extent,although this is a very strong pump it still does not generate the pressure that you would get from your regular water spigot on the side or rear of your house.I never tried the pump before to operate a lawn sprinkler so just as an experiment I did.As I said, it did work but the sprinkler worked at about 1/2 to 2/3rds the pressure of your regular spigot So for a smaller area it worked fine but the coverage was not there for a larger area or lawn .You would just have to re-position your sprinkler several more times than the traditional set-up with your house spigot.

I don't think it would work.it would hold the water okay, but when filed to capacity the side seem less likely to collapse.

If you are talking about the pump I think it will work. This is a great product. I used a big rubbetmade bin to hold more water. I cut a hole in the lid and fed the tubing through the hole then added the pump. The lid kept bugs and debris out of the water.

I believe you could do that but the barrell will overflow unless you have a very tightly sealed lid. Don't know where the water would go after it is full. I presume it would probably fill up the supply line up to the diverter and then back out the downspout.

I just use mine to store water in case of emergency. The top is only about 18 inches across so probably wouldn't catch much water unless you could figure out a funnel system to add to the top.

I haven't used mine with a sprinkler, but I don't see why not. I'm guessing good pressure in, good pressure out. The issue isn't so much the pressure as it is the diameter of the hose which affects the VOLUME. You may need to leave the sprinkler in place longer because the amount of water that comes out of the hose in a given time is less.

Ron, I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's capable of doing that. I have my dehumidifier elevated and draining to a lower point. You might try addressing this to the maker, but again, I question it.Gary

Technically, that's 3 feet above its rated maximum head (which is 21 feet). That doesn't mean it won't work for that application. It would just be less efficient than a larger pump with higher head rating. It also depends on how often the pump will run. Forcing the pump to push a higher column of water than its rated would probably make it wear out sooner.

I don't see why not. I have 4 tanks can drain and fill in about a hour all 30%. Not bad before it was a good 3 hours

not sure this unit is meant for well water probably would have to check the manufacturer's website

I had not answered this question, but an answer was supplied as yes. I don't know who answered this for me.That said, while it may not be the ideal position to operate, probably because it would not be as stable, it should be able to operate just fine. Additionally, the user must remember to place the unit in a horizontal position to drain the moisture from the tank.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

I used a 4 gallons air compressor that I rented at home depot last year to blow out the 9 zones sprinkle system. The sprinkle has 1 inch diameter(instead of 3/4 '') and are quite long in a yard more than 11,000 sqf. So I guess this 3.5 gallon tank will work too. You have to stop more often and wait for the pressure raising up.
