Depending on how much elevation it has to pump up would be the deciding factor. If it’s a small elevation rise it will totally pump the distance. I think it will pump up to like 50-60’ rise but the higher it goes the lower volume it will pump. I have pumped 200’ with little volume drop at level grounds
No RUclips reviews explain the hoses . And fittings for the hoses . Does Harbor Freight sell the hoses and fittings or do you have to buy them from another store?
Harbor does sell hoses. Go to their site and search intake hose and or discharge hose. There are also other sites selling hoses and connectors etc. You can find all grades of hoses online to suit your specific wants/needs including fire dept grade. Also google "quick connect discharge hose" and look at the images you will see lots of options including camlock quick connectors etc. This should help you get where you wanna be.
@@Next_Level-X2 thanks for the reply ..I searched the Harbor freight site and the hoses have to be searched separately than the pumps . That's a odd way of doing . But live and learn.
I got all the quick connect fittings and hoses from tractor supply. The pump itself has some form of a check valve or reed valve because water won’t backflow through mine. I didn’t add a check valve. The quick connect fittings are so worth the money
Bo L if you plug the hose the pump will build up around 45psi and then it maxes out what the pump can produce and the motor just keeps running as if where still pumping. It does not hurt the pump.
ben Borgens the pump advertises approx 110' of "discharge head" or head pressure. For every one foot of head pipe you gain 0.433 psi. So if we do the math it puts us at around 47.5psi. I have a pressure gauge I can hook up if you want to see what it actually produces.
Nunofyour beesiness got them both at tractor supply and surprisingly I have drug that blue hose all over the property for over a year now and still not a single hole in it.
Great video exactly what I wanted to see. Very good setup, gives me ideas for mine.
Can you drop a link to the hoses and fittings you use? Thank you !!!
Would be Pretty nice for a little volunteer fire fighting rig
I would think gravity is helping a lot with the tank being above the pump.
You think it would be strong enough to pump water out the creek 100 yards away to a garden tank ?

It used to be under $80 from harbor freight. Now its $249
Matt, where did you get your Quick Release Couplings and Check Valve? Is the Check
Vavle built in to the Quick Release Couping?

@@matth6104 Thank you Matt, that helped allot.
So if you close off the nozzle and stop the flow it won't hurt the motor? Thanks

@@matth6104 so it releases that pressure at that point? Does it have a relief valve?
@@matth6104 i am asking because I'm interested if it could be used to rinse houses down after they've been washed?
You said it has a pressure relief valve for 45psi. Where is that? How do you know that?

Cool,where did you get the hose and nozzle?
Nunofyour beesiness got them both at tractor supply and surprisingly I have drug that blue hose all over the property for over a year now and still not a single hole in it.
Wow it must be somewhat reinforced.Did the nozzle come with the hose already connected?
What do you use for the intake hose and where did you get it?
Tom Hogarty the intake hose is a 1-1/2” suction line from tractor supply. Just gotta make sure it’s a “non collapsible hose”
it will quit in a few years. HF equipment is junk
