I have a 1/5hp,1560 gal/hr pump. I thought it was plenty big enough, my 3/4" venturi injector will not work with that pump unless nothing is on the end of the hose. The lesson, go bigger than you need,you can always reduce the volume with a valve

Thanks for the replies!
I'm just using it to take water out of my rain barrel and use a garden hose to water my garden and greenhouse.
Just a real small scale setup.I'm guessing a smaller one would work?
Anybody have one laying around they are not using and would like to trade?

I got one on eBay for around $30 to do the same thing you’re doing and it works just fine.

You can never have enough pump... small scale will turn into big scale anyhow...
