our outdoor fountain basin needs to be drained. can this pump sit on the grass with a hose in the basin and another hose running to a bucket?

One side of the housing slides off, revealing the female threaded water inlet. There is an adapter in the box that screws the female, er, screws into the female and provides a barb type fitting that looks like it is the size of a standard garden hose.

Don't think so. A pump that does that needs lifting power. This is not designed to have much lift, just pushing the water out (head). I use these pumps for coolant on machine shop tools. They sit in an oil mixture their entire life and pump not so clean liquid (metal particulates). In that application they perform fine, pumping (not lifting) the liquid about 4' maximum. I'm amazed at how long they last (some over 2 years and still going). They also sit unused for long periods (weeks or months) and fire up without a hiccup when needed.

Yes as long as you dont try to pump more than 3 feet up hill. Pump only has 3 ft rise?

Probably not because it looks like the flojet kit has a threaded output to connect to a garden hose. This is the pump that comes with the Clean Dump system. It outlet is barbed for a hose to slip over and be clamped.

Not a use I would recommend for this pump. For watering a garden through a hose, and assuming the garden is more than 10-15 feet away from the rain barrel, you need a pump with greater capacity. Reminder, this is a battery operated pump for occasional use and for light duty.

Yes there is a flexible drainage hose that is stored inside of the water bucket.

Most local authorities do not allow a water powered pump as a primary pump, only as a secondary, or emergency backup pump. I suppose they look at the water usage as an issue. As to whether it would function as a primary, that depends on the amount of water you get in the sump and the water supply to the pump.

I don't think so as there is only one hose coming out of it BUT you can link barrels together so when one gets full, it drains into the next one and so on. You'd just need to drill an additional hole on the opposite side of the original one to put the hose in.

Yes but the hoses are a different size, so you would have to buy an adapter to hook the houses up to pump

No it can not. I have that pump it just has enough power to run a drip system. And not that well .

Nope. But why would you want to if you have water for a hose?? Just run your hose to the container the pump is in and set it to fill at the same rate your using it.

I suppose whether it is an outdoor fountain or an indoor fountain it doesn't matter. The key factor is the amps. It is capable of drawing 15 amps. Pumps typically are lower than this, so it should be just fine. I run 2 small pumps simultaneously with mine. I'd not expose this timer to water. I'd put the timer in a dry place then run the cord to the pump.

No, there is a filtration system hooked up to it, to keep sediment from entering the pump. I used a 5 gallon bucket and leave the hose on inside the bucket. Be careful not to turn the hose on too high, as the pressure from the hose will fill the bucket faster than the shower pump will drain it

It has a hose connection so you can set it up to drain that way. I've only used it by emptying the bucket every few days.

This doesn't pump into the air - you attach a hose to the elbow. I use a 75' hose so it pumps the water down my driveway instead of in the yard. It also stops when you turn it off - however, it will continue to remove water until it drains below the cone as it acts like a siphon when the power is turned off.

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!

Yes. It comes with a drain hose and an overflow drain hose. Can set it up to drain with one hose or use other if reservoir becomes full. Set mine to continually drain.

Only if the fountain is low to the ground, and not well then. The hoses are flimsy and not weighted so flop around.

I suppose you might be able to use it to create sink if you have a bucket or tank to pump from within a couple feet of where your sink is located. Keep in mind the pump has to be submerged in the water supply and has no on/off switch on the cord (you'd have to put one where it plugs into the power outlet (would be a shock hazard if turning it off with wet hands). If you're only pumping the water through 2-3 feet of hose, the water reaches the end of the hose quickly. With some ingenuity you might be able to make the pump work for your purpose, but I think a cheap transfer pump might be a better choice. Hope this helps.
