Will this water pump work?

Do yall think this will work?
I have to got about 100-150 yards with it.

Are you serious or just jerking our chain?

The patch is so far out in the middle of nowhere nobody would hear it. It would just make things so much easier. What I want to know is if anybody else uses this type of pump to water their gardens?

Mr. Clown..

You are going to use that PUMP and some hose to pump water to your garden.. which is 150 yards from a water source?

How many plants? Cause if you hand carry the water it will be a great WORK OUT!! DIESEL TRAIN!!!

cheers

If you actually feel like doing this, a regular Submerging pump will work. 30 dollars at a pool supply shop. Will run on a 12v power supply. You could even use a Dc inverter. lol but thats alot of trouble for just being lazy. Heeheh good luck mate. Or dig a ditch to ur site, in which case you would need a pretty constant flow of water. Build a small dam, and have your overflow being the "ditch" you dug. yeah...

How many feet of elevation difference is there between pump and grow sight, there are many equautions available in pond supply magazines on calculating pump flow. Just to lazy to get you one. Off the top of my head, at 65 gph you will not be able to make 475 feet, unless it is completely down hill the whole way. You will need about 10 of these, one every 50 feet to maintain flow.

I speak this from very much experience with building waterfalls, and such, I am quite the salt water aquarium and pond hobbiest, I have used 2000 GPH pumps and only gotten about 20 feet of flow out of them with a 5 foot elevation between pump and sight. There will be a point when no water flows at all due to friction loss to the velocity of the water flowing through your pipe.

The pump is able to go atleast twice as far as I need it to go on level ground. Little louder than I thought it would be. Sounds just like a half throttled weed eater.

wouldnt pond water be bad for ur plants becasue of possible parasites and things

I hope that was a typo, the man is asking about a 65 gpm pump.

pond water could be very good for the plants also. wheres the pond?

the pond is not even 200 yards from my site if ur asking me. how is it beneficial. Nutrients from just being natural? plz reply cause this would help a lot

I've always used streams, river, ditches, and ponds for water and have never had a problem. The pond water I use usually has lots of algae in it and looks like the plauge was born in it, but I strain the water through a screen to get the large stuff out. The water is pretty clear for the most part once I put it in jugs. I dig rings around my plants about one and a half feet from the stem that are about six inches deep and six inches wide to collect the water I deliver and rain water. This works extremely well and I have never had a problem with the water.

Thread resurrected.

What about a pump that pumps 150 gallons per minute over 200 feet of discharge hose? Oh, and the suction height is roughly 3 feet (bottom of water tank to top) and the discharge height is actually 2-3 feet below the tank since the tank is in the bed of a truck. The pump will be on the ground next to the truck.
