I wanted to know if there are any members who operate a rain barrel catchment system if so what has been a proven and reliable water pump. I’m not too hung up on 12 VDC vs 120 VAC. But do prefer a 120 VAC pump so I don’t need to worry about a battery (solar) system that is still in the planning stages.
The only requirements are decent hose pressure as seen from any water facet. The unit is so rated for a reasonable run time without failing. I don’t expect to be running it 24.7.365 but more likely 15-25 minutes at least.
If it has any sort of run dry (pressure) protection even better as many of the pumps I’ve seen will burn up if no water flow is present.
Below are just a few models I chose for no other reason besides they are well rated, priced fine, and appear to offer some of the requirements needed. All I want to do is be able to plug the motor in hook it up to a garden hose and just water the lawn / plants.
