I hope to use this device to pump water from a pond to a garden nearby. Is there standard tubing that I will be able to buy to attach to the pump to transfer the water about 30 feet to the garden?

It is not the best type of pump for that I use it for chemical it does not pump that fast but for my use it works great but to use it for a transfer pump for a pond you will be cranking a long time

I think just fine. My pond, and pump at bottom of pond has a 10' rise up a winding creek bed to a waterfall. Works great. Thanks for asking.

You will have to put on an adapter to fit it to a garden house although I am guessing that you could find the necessary parts for less than $10 in a hardware store. I would guess that it could pump 100 feet without too much trouble as long as you are not going uphill too much.

Input is 2". Don't believe a 1" (maximum garden hose diameter) garden hose would handle it. Probably burst the hose or pop the connections. Pump is impressively powerful.

Just a regular garden hose. I use a short length to make pumping out my boat easier. The longer the hose height you use the less amount of water (GPH) it will pump at a time. Make sure it is dry after using it on the inside

The filter will accept tubing up to 1.25 inch diameter. You have to buy the tubing separately and the length will depend on where the pump and filter are located in your pond. You'll need enough to go from the pump to the filter and then enough to reach from the filter to wherever the water returns to the pond at.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.

The black tubing that goes from pump to box or the tubing you add for extra water fall? I'll measure if you tell me but its all underwater so this info would be really helpful!

They do have that type as I have a portable one that attaches to an ordinary garden hose. This unit I bought to replace a burnt out sump pump. The hardware to attach PVC pipe is 1 1/2 for this unit.

pressure 55-60 lbs covers about 60 ft I have 2 in my gardens are connected to 3/4 in PVC pipe. Any pump that will produce 50+lbs .will work. Use 5/8 hoses to get good pressure.

It will not fit a garden hose as is, you will have to rig up some type of adapter. As for pumping water 50 or 100 feet as long as you keep cranking the handle it will pump.

If I understand your question, you want to use 3/8" tubing to attach the misting system to the water supply. If this is the case, you will need fittings to attach the tubing to your water supply, hose bibb or the hose itself which is standard hose fittings and a fitting for the end of the tubing that you want to attach the misting system to. This fitting will also need to attach to the tubing and attach to the misting system which is standard hose fitting. These fittings can usually be found at Home DePot or Lowes, etc. Hope this helps.

If you mean a Garden Hose, it's not needed. The green coiled tube you see in picture is included. The free end of this tube will go in water container.

Its really short but you could put a standard garden hose on there the problem being I am not sure there is enough water pressure to run the water all the way through unless its going down hill, also don't expect to water hanging pots or really anything above ground level

I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder. So the "head" is how high the distance is from the pump to where you want the water to exit the tubing. A pump will pump vastly different amounts of fluid depending on how great that "upward" distance is. The Rio pump I first got was rated very optimistically at 120 gph (gallons per hour) but only if the outlet was at the same level at the inlet with no tubing attached. I attached tubing and starting lifting the hose higher and higher above the pump. The stream got less and less the further I lifted the hose and stopped flowing completely at 32". It took more power than the pump had to get further than this. I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder.

I don't think a garden hose will attach to the pump (I think the pumps output hole may be too small) but you can definitely pick up plastic tubing from Home Depot that fits with the length you need. You will also need to factor in depth of barrel and may need a waterproof extension cord for the pump to sit on the bottom of barrel if the barrel is more than a couple of feet deep.
