Trickle System Rain Barrel - 86 Gallons

Rain Barrels are a great way to store excess rain water for your lawn or garden. But sometimes getting the water from the rain barrel to the garden can be quite a chore. With The Rain Barrel In-Line Pump emptying your rain barrel is easy!

The Rain Barrel In-Line Pump pumps water with a 1/10 hp motor and has a flow rate of approximately 6 gpm. The water pump can empty the average rain barrel in less than ten minutes! This pump does not need to be primed. Its self priming feature works so long as it is no more than 7 feet from the water source. As it’s self priming you never have to worry about sucking water into the hose to get the pump started.

The pump weighs less than 5 lbs and is very portable. When not in use you can seal the two water ports on the pump with the included caps. This will protect the pump from dirt and debris while it’s being taken to a new job site or stored away for future use. It includes a carrying handle that can also be used to hang the pump on a hook or ledge.

This pump connects to the hose coming from your rain barrel and has a port to connect another hose for water to exit the pump. DO NOT SUBMERGE The Rain Barrel In-Line Pump as this will short out the pump and may cause an electrical shock. After the pump has been turned on water should start flowing within 20 seconds. If water doesn’t begin to flow within 20 seconds shut the pump off, as running it dry for more than 30 seconds can damage the impellers. If you use an extension cord to plug the pump in then use a 3-prong, grounded electric cord, preferably connected to a GFCI outlet.

This pump is extremely versatile and can be used to water your lawn, empty a pond, transfer water between containers, even to pump boat bilges. Just be sure when using the pump not to let it run dry or to use it nonstop for over 15 minutes at a time.
