The instructions that came with my pump said absolutely do not use a reducer. I was pretty sure they were wrong, thank you for showing me that what I was planning absolutely works
Hey one thing to modify, I haven't had a chance to upload an update on a modification, but over time the manifold is kind of heavy and the vibration caused the threaded coupler to the manifold coming straight off the pump to bounce and split so I replaced that threaded coupler with just a thread on barb from tractor supply and added some of that blue hose for about 6 feet between the barb and the manifold so the manifold sits on the ground and doesn't bounce around. That blue hose is the hose that you use to expel the water from the pump that you can get at Tractor Supply by the foot it's pretty cheap. If this doesn't make sense drop your email in the comments and I'll send you a picture.
GREAT VID!!! One suggestion.. Run a larger line(not a garden hose) to those heads.. Smaller and longer hose equals greater friction loss down the line,,and greater engine rpm... Love the trash pump usage!!
Put your vegetables on a long mound and dig trenches on both sides of the mounds. You then run a irrigation line at the high end of the garden with a bunch of lines teed off going to to each trench. This way you just fill the trenches with water and you get 100% of the water going to each plant. Farmers all around me do it like this. Also keeps the plants from molding or burning.
Get you a new bucket with a lid. Cut your hole 🕳 in the lid for your hose. Take the bucket drill a bunch of holes in it. Bolt some weight at the bottom of the bucket. Put the lid on and put it in the water. You are having to much fun. I'm getting ready to do the same thing lol. Good luck to you and stay safe✌.
Thanks I did pretty much that minus the lid a day or so after posting and its great but I can see the value of the lid to keep crap out. I'll add when I pull it this winter.
Running gas pumps when under pressure won't hurt anything, but preferably idled back. Plus the reason to add water before starting the engine, or priming it is to lubricate and cool the pump seal till it draws the water from the pond.
glad you saved that pump but MAN got me thinking, Americans throw a lot of good stuff! one-time-use for such a nice pump? screw that it's cheap, it's still pure waste!!! Btw. you can use it to pump the water up into a 55 gallon drum which you set higher than the garden. from it, you can drip irrigate the garden. saves money and time and water (read: pump gas).
@@ChikinTown Problem is with a gas engine pump, there is no way to automate the process. You would have to monitor the level of water in the reservoir and then run the pump (and wait) until its filled again.
this is a great idea, and not just for watering a garden. where i live wildland fires are my concern. this would work great if i set the sprinkles up on t-post fencing around my house, then i could make a perimeter defense zone around my house. i have an idea to use an above ground pool for the water source, abut 7,000 gallons, and how you have built the manifold would make it real simple to send water where its needed. a few questions, how many sprinklers can you run at once on idol, and how many with the throttle tuned up? what is the out put like at the furthest sprinkler head, and how far from the pump is it?
Great idea! Currently I'm running nine sprinklers using all four valves on the manifold. I'm pretty sure I can run several more. I currently run them all on full throttle but they will run at idle, they just won't have the spray distance. The farthest sprinkler head is about 150 ft from the pump and is slightly less output but still works good. Most of my pipes are 3/4 PVC and I'm also using some regular garden hoses for a new area that I'm experimenting with, try to use 3/4 inch hoses for best volume.
You should run 40mm fire hose with cam lock fittings and make yourself a 40mm Canon sprinkler and do away with all that little ones. It works a treat 😌
I am really wanting a similar set up for my garden… My garden is right beside a branch that is fed from a spring and it’s really handy to pump water out of it when there hasn’t been rain. Right now, I just have a giant hose rigged to it and I try to simulate rain over my garden while I hold the hose. It’s not efficient at all. My questions for you are… where did you get the attachment with the two spigots that is attached to the outgoing water hole on your pump. Did you make it? I just want to run two sprinklers from regular hoses with that same setup. Would it be safe to run the pump at max power with that set up?
I made the attachment (manifold) from PVC parts from Lowes. Valves are PVC plumbing valves. The quick connects are from tractor supply. I ran full power to 2 hoses for a year with no issue but I'd start with lower throttle to see if your connections hold up. Good PVC joints are a must. I've since made a new manifold with 4 valves to expand my garden. I suggest making a larger manifold in case you expand. Watch the update video in my channel for a fix of the manifold that broke.
Most that I ever ran at once was 9 heads. But I think there's a lot more capacity there. Check out this update on the pump system. You'll want to do this likely. th-cam.com/video/DRYnXjmwKuE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K9X1iGbq3B-Bw9XV
I didn't, but I did add another line to the other valve for additional hoses so that helps. One thing I thought about was to run the extra valve open slightly if I didn't use it for irrigation.
I did an update video where I found that manifold cracked at the threaded part coming off the pump from vibration. Go to Tractor Supply and get about 6 ft of trash pump blue discharge hose that you can buy by the foot and a couple of clamps. You'll also need a male threaded nipple to go into the trash pump side to attach the flexible hose. Or you can use whatever fittings you want to go between the pump and the manifold to attach the flexible blue hose. Then the manifold can lay flat on the ground and it won't vibrate and crack.

I laughed my ass off when you got all excited as you cranked the throttle up! HAHAHA! Thanks for the video. Good stuff!
I really laugh alot and talk to myself when I work on projects. My wife thinks I'm insane lol
The moment of pure glee
Man I appreciate you putting this together so we could see it. Thank you for taking the time
Glad it's helpful
@@ChikinTown Palmetto state proud!
Enjoyed the video and your humor nice to know I am not the only 12 year old adult :)
Thanks for the great ideas. We are doing same thing from a creek
Fun! you had me laughing several times. Informative AND entertaining :-) Well done. You got a bargain, good job getting her running- thumbs!
Thanks! I just finished making a new 4 hose manifold for it. If you build one, build more than you need the first time.
Looks like a familiar setup. Been using mine for over 2 years. Works pretty good.
The instructions that came with my pump said absolutely do not use a reducer. I was pretty sure they were wrong, thank you for showing me that what I was planning absolutely works
I've been pumping for 2 years without an issue. Except for the butthole beaver that chewed thru the suction hose!
@@ChikinTown I have been pricing the intake hoses, they're not cheap. Thank you for the longevity report

@@ChikinTown that makes total sense. I can easily build that. Thank you very much
Hahaha that was funny, finally working sort of pump & grain it what a chic magnet. Good job thanks for the laugh
Impressive that, well done.😁

Yep, this winters project to rebuild. Should have done that up front.
Excellent Video.

You're welcome!
I like your ingenuity .Got the same predator 212 cc predator from harbor freight. Are you worried about any asphalt residue containing the soil/crops?
No I got it all out by scraping and elbow grease. It mostly flaked off.
You should run 40mm fire hose with cam lock fittings and make yourself a 40mm Canon sprinkler and do away with all that little ones. It works a treat 😌
That sounds great, I know a fireman who might be able to help me out with old hoses.

White PVC pipes should be buried to avoid weather damage issues!
Looks like you have the suction and discharge swapped ? Hook two hoses to run sil
Multanneously
Yea I swapped them back lol
How many sprinkler heads can you max out on ? and still spraying good -Thanks
Most that I ever ran at once was 9 heads. But I think there's a lot more capacity there.
Check out this update on the pump system. You'll want to do this likely.
th-cam.com/video/DRYnXjmwKuE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K9X1iGbq3B-Bw9XV
How would you tie in a pressure relief into that
I didn't, but I did add another line to the other valve for additional hoses so that helps. One thing I thought about was to run the extra valve open slightly if I didn't use it for irrigation.
Would you please provide names or links to the cam lock fittings? It would help me immensely. Can't seem to find them. T.IA.
Tractor Supply sells them:
2 inch Cam Lock Quick Coupler Part A, SKU 212180299 $7.99
2 inch Cam Lock Quick Coupler Part B, SKU 212167499 $19.99
They have different variations of them for different hook ups also.
@@ChikinTown Thank you!
Fixing to copy this.. anything you'd change?
I did an update video where I found that manifold cracked at the threaded part coming off the pump from vibration. Go to Tractor Supply and get about 6 ft of trash pump blue discharge hose that you can buy by the foot and a couple of clamps. You'll also need a male threaded nipple to go into the trash pump side to attach the flexible hose. Or you can use whatever fittings you want to go between the pump and the manifold to attach the flexible blue hose. Then the manifold can lay flat on the ground and it won't vibrate and crack.
Have you measured the water pressure?
No, but it pumps to 6 heads at once with plenty of pressure to spare.
Do you have a link for the cam locks

Sorry just saw this. Tractor Supply.
you got it from gypsys roofers lol
