If I purchase this and place a 1/4 tubing in it with water running through, how does the water go out? Do I need another part?

Nope you do not need another part. Water should go out easily, its kind of hard to see the spout.
1597683
No other parts required. At the base of the float is a rubber (or similar softer material) ball that seats against the water inlet hole. When the float drops down, the ball tilts away from the hole and the water comes out of the space seen underneath the base of the float.

I'm not sure where the water gets in but it does get in between the cover and the bladder. Not a big deal though. When I pull the tube back on board there is always a few gallons inside. I have to hold it on the swim platform to allow the water to drain.

I used a 3/8" OD plastic tubing to connect to our GE filter. The reason I bought it on Amazon is because Home Depot, where it had been on sale a few days before I bought it on Amazon, was out of stock and our faucet started leaking a lot. When I went back to Home Depot, the faucets were all gone. You might make a trip to Home Depot to see if they are on sale there and check the measurements before you buy it.

Mrs. S that's exactly what the tank is... you mount it up higher than the board so that it gives you a gravity fed stream of water. The tubing is just the normal line between you and the tank. I hope that helps clarify.

Yes. I have 1/4 tubing and it is very difficult to remove. 5/16 should work better.

I am not sure that I can answer that... In my case I cut it into sections, added your standard male/female hose fittings on either end, and caps in some cases, then set up a water distribution system using hose splitters and a standard water faucet. I got a reasonable flow and I would think that because of the number of leads that I had, this was not under great water pressure, so yes, maybe it will work okay from a gravity feed. I don't know what rate of flow you expect, nor can I say what the effect of may lines would be. I plan to get another roll this year to complete my setup. P.S. I thought that it worked better than some of the 1/2 inch drip hoses that I have. I am not sure that I can answer that...

the tubing is 1/4" outside, not inside. Tubing accomodates the press-on fittings

If you want to attach it directly to a hose, you need that pressure reducer or you will blow out one of the waterer pieces. I had a flooded backyard from that mistake.

Should not be a problem just consider how much material you put over the hose. Bury it to deep/ sharp bends can cause it to pinch or crimp and reduce/ cut off water flow.Its a very simple system.

it is just a tank with a air valve to fill with air. and a 3/4 or 1inch inlet for water. You would have to put your own pressure gauge. you can put it in line with the water inlet pipe!

Yeah I don't think you can fully submerge it. I put mine in deep enough to where the filter slot on top isn't exposed to water and it has worked fine and also the water flowing out doesnt make noise when I do that. why do you want to fully submerge it for?

Hi, there are a lot of parts that you will need to install this pump including 1 1/2" PVC parts. You'll need a three-quarter inch T to come off of your main water line. You will need to run three-quarter inch copper or pex waterline to the unit. I always install it with three-quarter inch pex it's much easier. To install this pump because you have to sweat copper and also have pex tools you must have some general knowledge of plumbing and some relatively expensive tools.

You need a sink nearby. A T adapter and a few feet of PU tubing are included for hot water connection. I also need to drill a hole on my sink cabinet for the tube to go through.

1/4" is all you need. Keep in mind even at low water pressure a fair amount of water comes out of this system. You cannot run this for too long and sit underneath unless you don't mind getting a little moist.

The hose hole is very low so thinking that maybe could be small issue (1/2inch) but I don't notice mine collecting standing water so think goes out seam under tube at bottom. Putting the coil tube in is optional and if put in don't have to seal it.

I used 1 1/4" tube with the included pump and it has large flow. The filter doesn't hinder flow much if kept level with water. Extreme elevation will slow the flow. (Over 10 feet) check for blocks. Check the pump by itself

Looking in their customer catalog, it shows the tubing used only above ground. Although I'm using it below ground very successfully. I'm quite pleased with this product, since I live in Florida and do not want to waste water I have it installed under new sod I put in, and frankly speaking it has been 6 week, and I have a lush beautiful green lawn. Hope this helps
