Can a water pump be used for a garden hose? I use a trash water pump to run my sprinkler off-grid.

[@joshroten3997]

Retired fireman here - the pump style is a centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps have what is called “100% Slippage” meaning when the pump is turning and the discharge side is closed (not flowing) the insides of the pump continue to turn without any need for a relief valve. The only concern to be aware of is the water inside the pump housing overheating resulting in water vapor (essentially steam) which can damage the pump’s impellers or housing - essentially ruining the pump. To prevent the pump from overheating keep some water flowing through it. Feel the pump housing with your bare hand to gauge if its overheating. If it is warm or hot you need to get water moving through it to cool it down, but other than the overheating/cavitation concern there is no problem with occasionally stopping the flow through a centrifugal pump. Cavitation sounds like rocks inside the pump. Note: a blocked suction strainer/intake can cause a similar problem. I have this same pump. I reduced the factory 2” National Pipe Thread (NPT) outlet to 1.5” National Standard Thread (NST aka Fire Hose thread) since I have several sections of old fire hose I can run directly off that. You can buy the reducer I mentioned and even a reducer from whatever you need to Garden Hose (GH) thread from a good pipe and irrigation supply company. Good luck!

Most of these pumps have a drain plug that is 3/4" threads on the bottom of the pump. Get yourself a 3/4" brass garden hose adapter and thread it into that hole, now you can just plug your garden hose in right there. To plug the hole later you can just use a standard garden hose cap with a washer. (Even if you don't hook a hose here I prefer to install a nice brass garden hose cap instead of the plastic POS it comes with) Also a great place to attach a cheap pressure gauge, if you're interested.

with that setup like it is I can see something breaking soon. Probably the pump. one thing you can probably do is add more sprinklers. there is some back flow going from 2" to 5/8's so my question is what happens to the unused water being pumped in. Soooooo many questions on this type of setup. btw I would think a splitter that you can make to go from 2" to two 5/8s connection would be a lot better and less strain on your pump, using both sides of the T at the time the pump is running???....

[@TheOhioOutdoorsman1]

The water sits in the pump housing until it is circulated out through the hose. The pressure is around 35lbs and since it is a turbine pump, water stoppage does not mean pump stoppage. The main concern with this particular setup is when no water is flowing for a long duration. There is the potential for the pump to overheat. The next version of the pump will include a bypass to always keep water flowing even with there is not flow through the end being used.

[@leifrasmussen3418]

How do you filter the water coming from the pond or lake?

We ran the pump for a while so that the factory filter on the inlet would semi clean where the pick up was. After a while, we did not need or use a filter other than the cage on the pickup that the inlet line came with.

That can’t be good for the pump. I would make a 2” header with multiple garden hose outlets. You could most likely run 4 or 5 hoses all with sprinklers, or route some as relief to water source. I def would not run pump speed more than idle with your rig

It is called a semi trash pump which is just another way to say that it can pump some debris as well. Some pumps are designed to pump NO debris and some are designed to pump sludge. This is called a semi trash pump because it can pump some debris. This will work with rigid pipes for sure.

It's just a centrifugal pump, essentially it'll recirculate itself. And running it with no water output is called dead heading, its not an ideal situation. You will prematurely wear out the pump, but for short stints, it won't be enough to notice. Also, there are camlock to garden hose adapters, then your house would just connect directly to the discharge rather than to a whole contraption

I also have about 20' of grade change up the hill from the pump with about 500' of 3/4" garden hose so that I can reach some trees I planted. My problem is getting the pump to fully prime and then be able to attach the garden hose. The only way to get it to fully prime is to have the air cap off on the top or the hose disconnected on the discharge side.

Add a simple valve as close to the discharge outlet as you can. Disconnect hose and when priming have the valve open to release water right as it exits the pump. Once primed, close the valve so you can connect your garden hose to it and then reopen the valve to move water through garden hose. Old plumber's trick for repairing lines that can't be turned off. Attach an open valve to pipe, then close the valve to stop the water. You could also do this a hose splitter as mentioned above. just close and open each side as needed to help prime pump and you won't need to remove the hose.

[@waynesworld2014]

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

You could do this yes but you'd be limiting the output since a garden hose is so small. Plus you don't want to do this for too long because you'd be dead heading the pump which can damage it over time. Unless you ran it at lower throttle it wouldn't be as bad. Get some hoses the same size and a stand also the same size and a bigger head say 1 to 2" input and you'd be covering a larger area and having more output as well. But trash pumps have low pressure and high output so they're not meant for irrigation use.
