could this pump be hooked up to a 55 gallon barrel and used with a shower head on one end?

Sure. The pump self primes up to two feet. So I don't think it could pull up the bottom of the barrel, but if u place the pump beside bottom of the barrel I'm sure the syphon effect would do the rest. I'm using mine with a sink sprayer for my shower. Works great.

Yes it will. I have one I'll sell you for $20. I used it once. It works but is louder than my other pump in my rv.

yes, you can. My husband used it to replace a similar showerhead and bar with little trouble. It is quite a nice system.

You should be able to since it mounts to the end of the barrel (with an Allen wrench).

I would think so. I have it hooked up to a rainwater collection system, going to a Triton 10L portable shower, and it has great pressure. I also have the Shurflo 182-200 pre pressure tank on the pump.

It should be no problem. However I recommend you reduce your outlet line one siz smaller to make it easier on the pump.

I've got this pump sitting at the bottom of my rain-barrel pushing water through a "DIG" micro-irrigation kit that is watering over 20 plants/bushes spread out amongst 100' of tubing, and its got plenty of umph, so I can't imagine you'd have any problems moving water 4.5ft.

definitely, but you may want to consider a TeraPump TRHA01 (also sold by Sojitek) instead. Would give you more flexibility with discharge coming out of a hose you can direct rather than the rigid spigot of this one. Also easier to use as a hand held unit rather than one meant to attach to a 5 gallon water jug.

I would use a PVC pipe instead. But I guess it depends on how you want to attach the hose to the barrel

Should work fine. I installed on a 2hp single cylinder pump with pressure unloader and 60 gallon tank. Took some plumbing and pressure limit adjustments. Been in use for a year.

Thats a long loop for this pump. Its possible but I would not recommend it.

It could, but this is such a tiny pump that it would only be good for a tabletop fountain. You would need to make sure that the plug would not be exposed to the elements.

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

No, they're really not designed for that. You'd be much better off with a hang over the back type or external filter rated for 55 gallons.

you probably could if you could extend the intake pipe to the depth you need. I comes with only 3 sec. that when attached to each other will fit into a 50 Gal drum, but you could put an extender for any height you needed. The volume it pumps out is great (10 gal/min) and with very little cranking. The crank turns VERY easily. We connected a hose to the spout for gardening.

600 feet is a lot but if there's no head (rise from source) it should work. There are instructions included that show how to install the pump as a pressure booster to a city supply line. The problem you may find is that the pump pulls harder than the supply can provide water and you might collapse the hose on the supply side. If you install the pump at the source and let the pump push it the whole way that might work better. I push water up 6 feet and then push it 150 feet and get 8gpm. I'm on my second pump and the newer models are a little better.

I would say yes. I have a tank sprayer that has a pump like this on it . It can be run dry without harm and about 35 lbs pressure

The pump will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.
