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.

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