Can it work with low pressure ( rain tank ) and at horizontal position?

Not sure but assume it would as it does not need water pressure to operate, I would think that a lower pressure would allow the solenoid to work more easily. Mine is installed at 45 deg and I cannot see that having it in the horizontal position would make any difference and should work ok.

Yes, but not past the vertical. There is a snubber that you come against when vertical.

yeah, it should. may have to lay the tank on it's side though b/c i'm not sure if it will fit upright...but it may.

Of course, horizontal is the way forklift tanks are mounted. but I would call a local forklift sales and maintenance company...perhaps a Toyota Forklift retailer. I don't know if they work when in the vertical position, but Toyota will. By the way, this is a very well-made tank and was cheaper than anything we could find locally. Highly recommended!

It can be positioned horizontally. As far as minimum water line I'm not sure. The impeller is in the top portion, and as far as I've figured, as long as that has 2/3 coverage it works. Keep in mind that the outbound spout can be adjusted to stretch another couple inches or so.

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

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.

Ideally yes. It should work in any position, however in the horizontal position it will buildup more heat inside where the components are located, and heat shortensthe life of electronic components-so vertical mount to a metal (to help lower temp.) would be more ideal. Hope this helps.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

Yes it can, I have had mine in tilted and flat position and it works great.

Yes, it will work fine in that application... but it does require enough room in the basin / tank to move up and down from its pivot / attachment point to activate... not generally an issue.... just never sure of customers application... but feel free to call with questions. CSH 989-723-8985 Dan

You can but it is not very effective because it is at a straight upright position. The horizontal works very well.

Only if it's a short distance. Where there is a long fill tube to the tank, it will not. But a short distance it will work. They are cheaper at my local hardware store though.

Since it's metal and plastic, I would assume it could. Rain would collect in the platforms though.

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.

I'm sure you can. with the right connector but there may not be enough head pressure from the rain barrel to push open and have the drip tubing work effectively. If your barrel is up high and the drip tubing is 'down stream' far enough it should work.

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.
