I agree with joe great price, plus has enough power to spray with a hose.

Put a filter in prior to the pump or you will clog

Yardman Yes mine works fine,but I only move 55 gal water at a time with it.I dont use it for compost tea,just to move rainwater to my patch.I put a window screen over the barrel top to keep leaves and bugs out,so dont have any clogs.

I don't have electric outlets close near my patch so I use the small honda gas pump. It will run two over head sprinklers at the same time. Drip tape can be run off the pressure of you spigot. Drip tape will depend how many gallons a minute you are getting to your patch. I was getting a little over 8 gallons a minute. I hope this helps you.

Here is the one I used, under $100 and works great for my 250 gallon tote watering system hooked up to 4 overhead sprinklers.

I just added a splitter to the outlet and ran my sprinkler system directly from it...comes with a filter if you need to use it.
