This is a brief demo of how the pump and rain barrel work together. This is a dc pump powered by a 12 volt deep cycle battery. The battery is recharged via solar pannels.
Thank you so much! The demand feature is great, I didn't even know that existed before watching. I finished a similar setup yesterday. I'll have to make a video of mine with a parts list : )
Thanks for the cool demo! I'm looking to build an automated irrigation system with water barrels, and I need to install a pump in-line. What is the water filter you used?
What happens with the pump when the barrel goes dry? Will it shut off automatically also? And the water pressure? I'm looking to run a drip system where gravity is not doing the job.
I realize you posted this video 6 years ago from the date of this comment, but what model number pump is that? I'm currently searching for a pump to use the rain water in my 250-gallon tank to irrigate my lawn, trees, & shrubs. Enough pressure from this pump to do that?
