Like others, I wish to use it for transferring water from rain barrels. Will it take a hose fitting? How far will it transfer water? 50 or 100ft?

You will have to put on an adapter to fit it to a garden house although I am guessing that you could find the necessary parts for less than $10 in a hardware store. I would guess that it could pump 100 feet without too much trouble as long as you are not going uphill too much.

It will not fit a garden hose as is, you will have to rig up some type of adapter. As for pumping water 50 or 100 feet as long as you keep cranking the handle it will pump.

Minimum is 25psi maximum is 100psi. Should work fine w/ two sprinklers. As long as you have a standard 3/4' fitting on hour hose should work fine. I use mine with a splitter.

I have used a 125 foot of hose routinley w/o problems. You only need a small amout of positive water pressure for a soker to work.

I have 2 50 ft. hoses connected and also a 100 ft. Although I haven't connected them all I don't see why you couldn't connect them all as long as you have the water pressure. They are great hoses. I left them out all winter covered by a tarp and when spring came they were as good as new.

Robert - p'raps it would have been sensible for me to check other answers to your question before firing off my own. Checking the original picture I posted, with how I have the hose installed now, originally loose, now more tightly wound, I have to say I think in the looser fashion you could accommodate a 100ft hose - not too sure about 150ft, unless it was one of the newer, lightweight, contracting hoses. This said, I do think it helps to have the unit mounted on wood, as opposed to vinyl siding, for added security.

I hope it works for you. I think it looks nice. I have a 50 foot hose in mine, and there is room for a lot more.

if you are talking about hose lenght mine does well over 100 feet, you have to look at your hose size also..

The hose does weep residual water after shutting off the water supply valve, however it does not completely drain and requires water pressure to star dripping. I would not expect a free flow of water from a gravity system, UNLESS the rain barrel was raised significantly above ground to provide appropriate "head pressure".

I pump from about 10 feet, but I think the hose is 25', and output hose shorter, maybe 10'. I pump into my fresh water tank of camper, and that's the only thing I use the pump for. But its great - off/on switch a must.

At least 50 - 60 ft. And I have well water, which doesn't get the pressure city water does.

More depends on the vertical distance than the horizontal distance. I doubt 100 ft would be a problem if the hose were full of water to begin with. There would be some interior friction, but negligible. Again, my assumption. These pumps do not pump out fire house streams or with great pressure. If you look at the gallons per minute, you'll have a fair idea.

In my experience, the pump should work fine with a soaker hose or a drip feed watering system. I have had good luck using it with a watering wand, although the flow rate is not as great as one is used to using city water pressure.

Yes and no is my answer. It will not work good from a gravity system from rain barrel. It will work depending on the drop. Even from a hose attached to the house with a well pressure tank and a long run, I had to use a booster pump to get the water moving outward with a-lot of flow. this stuff is commercial grade. buy it when available.

could not say for sure. I am sure the 100 feet is not a problem. If it is in a pvc pipe or garden hose. the pump is good for 50psi which should be adaquate, Not sure about the volume being reduced though

250 PSI 50 ft. x 3/8 in. rubber air/water hose, Yes it 1/4 so you might have to get wide adaptor if needed?

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.

I do not see why not. Recall the hose is 50 feet long, but is coiled and so would be very difficult to stretch it to 50 feet straight.
