I will be using this product to a run of about 100 ft. with its emitters every 12ft. will I be encountering clogging from the emitters?

It all depends on the quality of your source water. If there are solids in it you will need to add a filter at the source to remove them. If you live in an area of hard water or have high de solved solids plan on replacing or cleaning emitters periodically.

I run about 300 feet with emitters about every 15 to 20 feet. We have to monitor our emitters every couple of days. We run well water at 55 pounds pressure.Our emitters plug from water mineral deposits, dirt, moss, and roots. They also deteriorate in time where the threads round off and must be replaced. We also lose caps.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

shouldn t be a problem as long as its pumping something ..... don t run it dry

Nope, if hidden properly it would actually be very nice, might want to go with a pump rated for larger than 100 gal so you get a nice flow

It triggers steadily at 75ft and will trigger out to 100ft. I have had great results.

Hello J. Taneri, I've never really pumped any distance with mine the only info I could give you is what I have done with mine-I've pumped from a stream- with the pump drawing the water from about 8 feet down to a barrel in my Jeep and the discharge hose is app 12 feet long. It took awhile to fill the 55 gallons maybe about 3 gal per minute. Maybe I was over exerting the pump the way I was using it??? I failed to prime the pump one time i got too impatient and burned the impeller. I got a replacement and it works fine again. any other questions please ask. jerry mayers Hello J.

I have three of these, two in a koi pond and a small one in an aquarium. For the small pump I short out the two inside outlets with a short piece of tubing and run two lines to the aquarium. For the larger pumps with eight outlets I short out four on each pump. One pump runs to one end of the pond and the other one to the other end. The runs are long and go deep. Using only 4 of 8 outlets gives much higher output. I have found that you should not leave any outlets disconnected. You lose too much air. I really like these pumps.

I used it on joist cavities and block in a crawl space. It goes on almost like a liquid and then immediately starts to foam up. As the nozzle gets clogged, you will start to get some foam particles flying around. Here are what I think the keys are to minimize this: 1) Try to do it when the temperature is close to the optimum recommended (above 65F). This will ensure that the liquid sticks to the roof and foams right up. 2) Be ready to keep moving once you start spraying. This prevents the nozzle from getting clogged too quickly. I was on my hands and knees dragging the tanks around my crawlspace, so it was hard to keep the application steady. But if you can stay upright and keep moving, you will get a smoother application. Overall, though, I was really happy with this product.

Yes just keep in mind to use the filterbecause when used in a enclosed space it will fogg up in about 10 min and you don't want the product being sucked into the motor.

No problem with the distance but take into consideration that there is a considerable amount of condensation produced that requires a run off in order to avoid humidity problems. Works well and will give you good results.

Not by a noticeable amount in my application. I expect it has a ball valve, so depending upon the size of your supply and demand, it may restrict the flow a little but if you have a typical hose bib this is not noticeable.

It'll reach out to 100 yards no problem. It's comparable to a 1-2 million candle power old school one. Stay with this 10W 5 W no so bright. I use them for deer tracking and spotting. Super light and it seems to run a long time. I used mine for over an hour this season.

It will move the water, but the rate will probably drop off about 75-80% at the end of the 600' run. The problem is the diameter of the pipe rather than the power of the pump. You would get much better performance if you could run 1.5" PVC pipe for most of the distance.

I've gotten good coverage up to 8' and past that requires a smaller jet which produces a smaller stream. (imagine that! physics is amazing, huh?) Anyway if you want to spray long distances you might want to consider a power sprayer.

I ran my cable through a pond last year for about 60 LF, though not directly in the water. The soil was saturated with water. I have not had any issues. If needed you could run it through some PVC conduit through the creek, if would be otherwise exposed. This cable is as heavy duty as you can find.

I think it will be fine. I'm using it on a pump myself but I don't know how far it will transmit.

Other reviewers have described overwatering as well, but my problem was always clogging. The only thing I can think of is maybe adjusting the reservoir position to slow down the siphoning. I wonder if the spikes have different size holes...
