1) If I wanted to use a garden hose what kind of attatchment do you recommend?

You will need adapters to convert from 1.5 inch pipe thread to a hose adapter. Any hardware store will have these. You will reduce the water flow dramatically by using a hose. If you have a lot of water to move using a hose is a bad choice. If you are only moving a small amount of water you may want to consider a pump that is already designed for a hose.

i use a standard galvanized reducer to bring outlet on pump down to a standard 3/4 inch house adapt. but should have a vertical check valve at the pump out let if hose discharge is above pump , or water could just run back into pump making it cycle much more

The pump has an inch and a half or inch and a quarter outlet. You will need to reduce down to 3/4 and add a male threaded nipple designed for hose attachment. Home Depot or Lowe's can show you exactly what you need.

You would have reduce the 1 1/2 cvp pipe down to about 3/4 then attach threaded cuplin to screw the hose on. Reducing it down, don't know if hurt the pump.

Just a regular garden hose. I use a short length to make pumping out my boat easier. The longer the hose height you use the less amount of water (GPH) it will pump at a time. Make sure it is dry after using it on the inside

Any generic air hose will work. You can cut back your hose to the good part, add a double ended brass hose barb, and install the new hose. I used a nice valve from an ebay seller which has a much nicer quick release feature on the other end of the new hose.

The fitting does not connect directly to a garden hose. An adapter comes with the unit at no extra cost - works fine.

You could. But it's overkill for that purpose. The "RV" type hoses are meant to be used when supplying potable water. Normal garden hoses can leave a bad rubber taste in water and over time, break down and leave contaminants behind. So if just for watering the flowers then just get a cheap hose for that purpose.

I use mine with rubber hoses so if that is not a problem for you by all means I would do it.

Yes you can attach a garden hose,and this pump will work very wel,but dont attach a hose nosel that has a off control,this pump is designed for constant open flow,never use anything to restrict,or stop the flow,you will damage the pump

Take your hose to Lowes or Home Depot to make sure what you have is compatible. Don't get stuck with a hose that won't work.

I think you have it right. I bought two of the 50' lengths, best utility/garden hose I have ever used. Much lighter to use and manipulate even when charged. No complaints here.

Look for something that is thick-walled as it will hold up longer in your garden. That said, realize that thinner-walled tubing will be easier to work with. Personally, I like to do this sort of job just once.

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

I mostly use the power hose as I find the stretch hose to be a struggle...wish I could find a power hose less than the standard 30 foot hose...a happy medium would be nice

It is a great product . Had one for two years trouble free. It is designed to attach anywhere you would normally use a garden hose.

Whatever the standered garden hose is. I had no problem with it. It works great

Any medium hose should work with this, it doesn't have to be from the same producer.

I use an old garden hose for a drain hose for my dehumidifier. Had to cut it to lengths and cut the end off to get it through the wall to drain outside.
