Using A $16 Sub pump to Water my Garden

Before this new setup I would fill up gallon jugs and watering cans and water the garden by hand.. It was a painstaking production and I dreaded it!!! The only outside water source is really far away and to pipe it into the garden would be an even bigger hassle... Using the sub-pump has made it less of a chore... If you find yourself lugging around 5 gallon buckets, gallon jugs, or watering cans for over an hour, might I suggest getting a sub-pump!! Stay well my friends!!
Thanks you so much for watching and stay well!!! Feel free to leave a message bellow or contact me via email back2myrootshomestead@gmail.com or friend me on facebook / backtomyrootshomestead

Thank you soooooooo much. You don't know how much this is information just saved me time and money. I have been searching all over the web to find a simple way to water a 2 acre Pepper farm and just found the best information ever. I wish I can meet you in person and carry you all over the world and not put you down. Thank, thank you, and thank you.

@noelalexisshaw-nas-noz5142 3 года назад

You should attach some fine mesh filter material to the bottom of your subpump to prevent any bits being sucked in and blocking your Sprayer 😉....Great idea btw to use a sub pump in the water barrels 👍🏼

@janie2shoes537 7 лет назад

That is what I use when I clean my goldfish pond . I never thought about using it in my rain barrel !!! You just saved me a lot of work !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

Very nice watering setup. Have a great weekend!

@CBsGreenhouseandGarden 7 лет назад

Get you a paint strainer bag from Lowes and put it over your pump to keep the small junk from passing through. I also hand water my hole garden but I plan to change that this winter when I revamp my setup. Everything is looking good in your garden! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing with us. :-)

@back2myrootshomestead525 7 лет назад

CB's Greenhouse and Garden, a paint strainer, that's a wonderful idea!!! I'll get one when I'm 'in town'!! I had to change things up otherwise I think I would have thrown in the towel. I'm interested in what you have planned for your new water system. Stay well!!

@WJCTechyman 4 года назад

@@back2myrootshomestead525 Either that or an inline pressure washer filter screen, they're a bit more expensive but relatively easy to clean

@DarthMasiah 3 года назад

yeah, the whole pump in a screen bag is genius. they also make inline filters you can attach the hose to.

@jimsexton 4 года назад

I like what you’ve got going on. I’m thinking you could put one of those cheap remote control modules for Christmas lights on your power supply and control turning your pump on and off that way.

*This would REALLY help me!* Cuz my well is super deep (over 375 feet) and water comes out too cold! _l notice big difference in the plants from using cold well water and warm rain water._ Now l know how to get water out of a rain barrel to the plants! *Thanks!*

@deborahchristmas8752 7 лет назад

Genius! I need to do this at the community garden across the street. My feet scream in pain whenever I have to go back and forth 20 times to water all the plots. I have to see if I can get a battery-powered sump pump.

@back2myrootshomestead525 7 лет назад

Deborah Christmas, I hear you!! Trudging back and forth while carrying gallons of water doesn't make a happy gardener. I hope this helps and/or makes watering the garden a little easier. Stay well my friend!

@seedless0420 Год назад

Hey they have inline hose filters and quick connectors on Amazon. But pantholes over the bottom of the pump will.stop debri will work in a pinch

@halfacredreams1244 6 лет назад

What a great idea!

@lynardburt5992 Год назад

If you remove that head can you clean it? Find bottom, then raise pump up 6 inches, or get a pump that hooks to hose,has auto shutoff

@dariash6218 5 лет назад

Hi, I have a made a similar setup but I bought a wrong pump since it doesn't fit a garden hose. Please let me know what pump you are using or recommend me what submersible pump to buy.

@rayngrace 2 года назад

Anyone have a link to a reducer from pump to garden hose?

@imlew7853 Год назад

All my hose has shut off valves connected. It shoots up the water quite far and good spread of water with no pressure interference. Wondering if the pump will get damage if I shut off the outflow valve in few intervals.

@terry2346 2 года назад

Put a inline water filter on your garden hose and that will prevent the clogging of the sprayer. Course you will have to occasionally clean the filter but that is fairly easy to do!

@kcaegis45 6 лет назад

Great idea with submersible pump but I'm wondering if you had any pump problems like overheating or not working when you have a nozzle attached to the garden hose? Especially when the pump is plugged in and you are not spraying any water or letting any water flow out?

@DannyTillotson 3 года назад

I'm wondering the same. Any answers to this yet please?

@matprang4508 3 года назад

I'm thinking it will be OK for short periods of time but you don't want to leave it hooked up you'll dead head the pump it will burn out but for $16 oh well

@BobSmith-iu3hx 3 года назад

@@matprang4508 Yes, you are right, deadheading a pump is not good for the pump. I read the comments just to see if someone was going to mention this fact. They should be using an on-demand pump that has a pressure switch.

yes fine mesh screen on the bottom of your pump and maybe see if you can rise it off the bottom of the barre too a couple of inches.

@back2myrootshomestead525 7 лет назад

DevaJones03, I was thinking about you when I made the video. With this drought I was about to give up on watering before we got the sub-pump. It's still a hassle but at least now it's not such a chore. Hope this helps.

@DevaJones03 7 лет назад

Back2myroots Homestead girl you know I be out there toting water like a Hebrew slave! I think I'm going to put drip tape in every bed though it will be am interesting project that's for sure, and save me time. Takes me about 45 minutes to water everything currently.

@ProdigiousReturn 5 лет назад

I thought about doing the same thing but was too concerned about the oil used in the pumps. Are you not concerned about that? There are oil less ones but they are 5x the price and from the reviews I've seen don't last very long.

@bradleythomsen3083 5 лет назад

The oil is very minimal and doesn't do the pump any good if it doesn't remain in the pump. A one minute first time flush would be sufficient.

Why do these DIY'ers share such great ideas and then not tell you what they are using? We're just supposed to be in awe of how smart and creative "they" are. Give them a round of applause. Wake up. It's not about you being a star. It's about helping others.
