Watering our sweet corn field with the Honda wx10ta and pump info

We use a water tote and wx10ta to water our sweetcorn. Check out our other video to see how to connect your siphon hose to the IBC tote we use in this video.
8/4/23: Due to the wide disparity in sprinkler hoses, i.e., some squirt rather heavily and others not, even when buying the same exact hose, it is important to reorder the sequence of hoses on subsequent passes. In my field, I covered it completely 3 times and changed well-squirting hoses out for ones that did not put as much water out. This way the field is more evenly irrigated.
By the time the rains started up once again, the final tally was 6,210 gal hauled and pumped by this little pump without so much as a burp :-) Also, the HondaWX15ta weighs in at 20 lbs and is not contained in a cage but rather has a handle much like the WX10ta. It pumps at 72 gpm with no head. All pumps lose rate the greater the head. Honda publishes a graph showing what rate you can expect from your pump given the head distance.

I just built the same.... Well almost the same.... Setup that you built. Thank you for the video. It really helped.

Glad it helped

Is it known that the output of the water pump from 1 inch should be converted to one and a half inch 1/2 the input will remain at 1 inch, it is thought that it will work normally without a problem. thanks

good

Thanks

will this pump move water from a tank about 3 feet tall to a grove of trees about 300 ft away with a slight up grade in slope?

[@lounar482]

Honda specs quote this pump at 120 ft of head. At 120' of total head, it can deliver 1gpm. Since your total head would be far less than that, yes it could move water that far. However, Honda does not include in its specs the gpm rate at that distance. Personally, I would not buy this pump for moving water that far. The laminar and turbulent friction loss through a hose that long will be considerable.

I got exactly the same set up you have: 300 feet of garden hose with a light slope uphill. I have been watering my garden with this honda pump for 3-4 years. Not a lot of pressure but enough to water my 50 by 50 veggie garden in a short time. Of course: forget about adding a sprinkler.

[@HaydenH1997]

Your not quite right. The pump would be still be positive pressured if it was from the top to some degree because the pump is lower then the water hight so once it started siphoning it wouldn’t be that much different

[@lounar482]

I would agree, once of course that siphoning had began.

Cost

[@lounar482]

$550 plus tax in US dollars...not cheap!
