if you want more flow max flow use a 1" coupling that splits into 2 fitting of 3/4" that way you can get less resistance and more gallons per minute.

to get that maximum flow 19 gallons per minute you must use large diameter hoses.

With the pump still pumping, can I stop water flow on the outlet garden hose. I would like to use it stopping water flow once in awhile, like washing a car not having it run all the time. Will this damage the pump. I use it right now for watering my lawn. Works real good! Thanks for your Video!
@CashJohnston4 жыл бұрын
Daniel Hanson Great question Daniel. I don’t think the pump is designed to do that. It would need a pressure switch and relay to do right I think. But am not a real expert and I can’t say if any damage would occur if you did cut the flow. But I’d say don’t make a regular habit of it to be safe.
@jpulley4 жыл бұрын
You would be deadheading the pump. Probably wont break it right away but definitely not recommended. If you piped up some kind of recirculating line to where the discharge feeds back to the suction you could get away with that.
@cbrooks27673 жыл бұрын
Yes you would damage the pump. You need a bladder pressure tank between the pump and your outlet to the garden hose. Plus a pressure switch that would control the pump. I'd recommend a professional for that job but you'd love the result.

Will running two hoses from the outlet using a y connector drop the pressure water flow from the pump?
@CashJohnston4 жыл бұрын
You should be ok. The pump is designed for two sprinklers. I still need to split my line too. I’m going to run 3/4 inch pvc and then reduce 1/2 inch at the point where I split into two lines. That will help the pump maintain high pressure.

No. It holds a prime pretty good once done. Use a good foot valve that allows water to flow one way. If it sits for too many days without running it may need to be reprimed.

@CashJohnston4 жыл бұрын
I did not run into any issues. For sure be sure you have a filter to keep debris from getting into the pump or clogging any screens leading to sprinklers. I used a funnel and a watering can. After I dumped a lot of water in, I put the cap on the priming hole and turned it on. Just like you see in that video, that’s all it took for me.
@CashJohnston4 жыл бұрын
Also, it’s not like the water will overflow out the primer hole because it will start to drain out the intake when the water level in the pump gets about half full. The first time primed it, I put a gallon of water in before I realized where the water was going. Really should only a quart or so.

Benjamin Hillyard I’ll try to do an update video on it. But I basically have 1 inch foot valve in the water on the intake, a screen filter on the outlet leading to the sprinkler, and the sprinkler itself is currently a rain bird maxipaw which does not have a built-in filter. The sprinkler needs to be big enough that any debris that passes to it will just get shot out the nozzle. We may share some of the same water. I’m on the Little Cottonwood Ditch water.

In my case it is an irrigation ditch that is fed from nearby mountains all season. I it set up to flow through some pipes and troughs when I open a main gate. But water could be fed from a pond too. Just be sure to put a filter on the intake so the pump doesn’t get clogged.

Just recently purchased one for a irrigation garden after I seen your video. What connections did you use for inlet and how much did it cost? Did you have to use any thread tape, or sealants? Yours look simple.
@CashJohnston4 жыл бұрын
Yes my setup is simple and it is working well. For the inlet, which is one inch diameter, I used a male threaded 1 inch PVC fitting to screw into the pump, no tape was needed. Out of that PVC fitting I glued a couple inches of 1 inch PVC pipe that connects to a 90 degree fitting followed by more 1 inch pipe that is long enough to submerge a few inches into my water source. At the bottom of the pipe that submerges I have another glued fitting with threading on the end. I attached a 1 inch diameter Everbuilt Brass Foot Valve on the submerged threaded end and used thread tape there to keep the brass foot valve from tearing up the PVC threads. This whole inlet component looks like an upside down “L” and is about 18 inches. Yours might be longer.

The theory works but you need to use non-collapsible hose or hard pipe that can withstand the negative pressure. Total output pressure will be inlet PSI + pump PSI. If you use too large of a pump with too small of a hose, it will starve itself of water. Use an appropriately sized pump.
