Is a submersible pump needed in order for the drip system to work? I'd been under the impression that one would be. Thanks!

No. Any regular pump will work. I have several small aquarium pumps for my tomato buckets

For the WaterFarm - Farm Kit set, you only need an air pump. The air tube pushes into the water holding in bucket bottom and moves the water up to the round drip tube at the plant level. So this type of set-up does not require a water pump, only an air pump. Hope that helps.

btw people it is NOT a submersible pump. the pump is in a wAter resistant case but sits outside the bucket. one hose goes in the bucket to suck up the water that travels back upthe hose and out the other end. water does not even go through the pump.

Obviously you need a pump, electrical connections. this is not a gravity fed operation. You need to add power. I guess you could try gravity but all you will get is a trickle at the nosseles of no value

I would say no. It is not sealed for submerging. More intended for surface pumping. It works great!

Not directly. If you have a pressurized system as soon as there is a demand for water the pump should activate. Otherwise no.

Seriously doubt it. Probably short or fail as well as contaminate the fluid. Does not appear to be a submersible pump. Get a fountain pump for that.

Yes, you need a pressure regulator. Check the various drip irrigation sites; they will show you how to hook up the system.

One of those adapters is used for an intake. You remove the strainer and small filter, then attach larger adapter. This allows a hose to be lead to water supply. At this point it is not clear if pump needs to be submerged as it acts like an outside sump pump

I'm not very savvy when it comes to pumps -- I need a pump to drain the water out of my garden fountains, so I can change the water and keep it fresh so the algae won't grow. Do I need to buy any additional pieces with this or will it come with everything I need? Thank you!

Yes u need a hose for the discharge side of the pump. This is for clean up not permanent installation. I use it only for spills or flooding and have a sump pump that has a built in float installed for seepage.

Check to make sure that the pump is fully submersed in water. I had the same problem and mine is working just fine :)

The instructions state that the filter should be inside the unfiltered water container with the drip going into the filtered water container. Contact your vendor. I was told that ProPur had a batch of defective filters. I am waiting for a replacement. It is taking extra time because of the holidays backlog. So, I am getting by on 100 drops per day... Strict rationing.

I'm sorry Nora, I don't really know, mine has never dripped, have you looked at the owners manual? Is there a number you can call? Try to google to find a number of the company, they could possibly help over the phone. Good luck

I don't know about submerging it. To place it in fluid is ok because that is how you check the calibrations in hot and cold. I hope this helps. Jim

Yes, water needs to below the output source. Lower water, attach, and fill to top. Our pool was full and being used, we lowered the water, attached the sand filter, and then added more water.

You need the separate pump for the saltwater system. It will attach to the pump that comes with the pool.

The pump should be fully submerged -- it's quite small, but two inches might not be enough water, especially since the fountain causes quicker evaporation and you would need to keep it completely full at all times.
