Yea I think this is what I was looking for as well.. The concept of a trash pump is awesome, and I'm glad they tend to include their own filters.. but I think I need to construct something similar to what you did - to prevent any sediment or sludge from getting into my irrigation system and clogging it up.

Excellent video! This is exactly what I was looking for. I want to water my garden 350 ft from a creek. I just bought the harbor freight pump with one inch line. I’m hoping it’s enough volume. I tested it and it pumps water much faster than a garden hose. I plan on reducing the one inch to two 3/4 hoses and sprinklers. I love your idea of using screen on the outside that covers all of your drilled holes! The weight works perfectly. Thanks for sharing your idea. I’m hoping to get a bumper crop of vegetables this year using your bucket idea. Thanks for sharing it!

@@underdogoutdoors Do you use metal or fiberglass screen? I was thinking of using two buckets-outer one with crushed stone 3 inches from the bottom then the other bucket inside that one with the screen sandwiched between the two. The two would be zip tied through holes so they can’t come apart. Just a thought.
@underdogoutdoors2 жыл бұрын
@@porterbrass It's a metal screen, but never rusted so must be aluminum. Even fiberglass screen would work. I don't think you need to go overboard with the bucket, since it's a semi-trash pump, should be ok, however- sounds like the gravel would work unless it gets clogged with mud, then heavy to clean out. The bucket I've been using hasn't clogged or had any issues in a few years, & the pond does have muck & sludge on bottom.

@@underdogoutdoors I’m trying to figure out the rubber you used for gaskets. I think that I have a 1/2” thick utility rubber farm stall mat I can cut that will work. What size are your drilled holes and how many? Looks like 1/4” diameter and many of them- maybe 4-6” spacing?

Try "no seize" for the area that get Seize together. Longer hoses too. 150; if your doing irrigation. Line one should be long, and than they get shorter where you move your lines. Over 50' is hard to work, 100 is ok. 150 is still manageable. 200' is a very hard job to roll up and out, but better pressure and no calcium build up. Use CLR or Vinegar to clean the metal parts. Get a routine. Clean one section per week. Easy to say, harder to do. Dirty oil rags work well for cleaning and greeze.

If you need more pressure, or if you get some bigger heads. Trash pumps don't have much PSI.. I have a Pacer Econo Ag SE2UL e950 transfer pump that gets 50 psi and 195gpm max, which is big enough to run even big guns (up to 150 size) very well. Your small sprinklers dont use much PSI so they run pretty well.

I am hoping to use the exact same pump to irrigate my yard from a small creek. I figure i'll have to dig a little section out and to get enough depth, the water flow is pretty substantial, just very shallow and only two or three feet wide. love the bucket filter idea. How many sprinklers are you running at a time and approximately how much hose are you using. Thanks for the video!

You could water both the grass and your garden if you used a single 2" sprinkler off of Ebay. Not only that, it will throw out way more gallons a minute and get the job done faster. saving you wear and tear and gasoline. They are relatively inexpensive, only like 60 bucks and are a worthy investment. Just need a stand for it.

How much was this type of setup minus the pump? And does it make a big difference in water level of pond??
@underdogoutdoors3 жыл бұрын
@@brandonsmith5658 It makes zero difference on the water level, on this particular small pond. I used 4 sections of 2 inch hose, $65.00 per section. So besides the pump, the cost was $260.00. I also used a few hardware items which were inexpensive from Home Depot, like the pressure washer filter (about $12), the brass manifold type splitter, and the PVC reducer & brass coupling to take the 2" hose down to garden hose size (about $5 each). Plus a few lengths of garden hose & sprinkler heads that I already had laying around. The bucket I used as a filter was just an old bucket I had laying around. All together, I'd budget about roughly $330 bucks besides the pump for this project.

No relief valves far as I know- it's simple as it gets, I don't know the spec's. I run 3-4 sprinklers at a time with no issues. I think the key is to run the 2" hose close as possible to the point you reduce to smaller hoses. Hope that makes sense.
