Can you attach a garden hose to the input on this pump? I want to use it to empty out rail barrels and water the lawn.

This is a submersible only pump (it is designed to be cooled by the water) - the intake is through a grill all around the base with no practical way to change that. If you lower the pump into your rain barrel with a garden hose attached to the discharge fitting you would then be able to move the water where you want it. This again assumes the pump will fit through your rain barrel access dimensions.

a garden hose will attach to the outlet for discharge. the suction takes place from the bottom when placed in water.

Yes I use mine for transferring water from one tank to another or watering plants or even washing cars .

yes you can attach a garden hose to this faucet, faucet comes with a 5/8" male hose end on the end of the spout.

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.

Sure. What I did with mine was to remove the hose, and hooked up a quick connect receptacle. That way I can connect anything at all to it, from an air chuck, to an air gun, whatever.

Yes. We have done exactly that. Just don't raise the end of the hose higher than the water level as you need the natural water pressure for it to work (no pumps are included).

The hose that the water comes out of on this pump has a standard male garden hose connection on the end, so you can attach it to any garden hose. (By the way, mine works very well and I am surprised how long the batteries last. When pumping water with junk in it, like the wading pool, I take the precaution of putting the pump down into a perforated bucket that I have enclosed in an old cloth bag. This lets the water in, but not the leaves and stuff that would clog the impeller.)

Not with a single garden hose...I had it set up on four 100ft hoses with sprinklers...I have since changed to a 425 gal tank with a 25ft 2in discharge hose that I attached a firemans nozzle to

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.

Probably not as you must hold the "on button" on the pump down for 3 seconds before the pump comes on. Otherwise, the pump is great and I use it to water my garden from three rain barrels I have. Glad to answer any other questions you might have.

Yes, you can attach a garden hose directly. I added an aerator to the faucet to give a stronger stream of water.

You could, but you might be better off with a pump that stays out of the water to be pump.... that way you don't get your feet wet. E.g a Teel pump with an "in " hose (out of the pond) and an "out" hose (onto the lawn). teelpumpcatalog.com

Attached to water input (where you normally put the garden hose). I use the whole can but you could use half.

I attached a male garden hose nub to the end of my hose. I've attached a picture to prove that it can be done. I used a male ended 3/4 inch poly hose fitting. I put a little electrical tape on the end of the fitting, and tightened it down the plastic clamp. I transferred 110 gallons of water (2 drums) into my RV with any leaks or problems.

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

Definitely, this thing is great. Uses a bit of water so attaching a hose is your best bet. Go for it you won't be sorry.

Attachments are same as any other hose. I would be curious how well it could operate a sprinkler as it has much less pressure and volume than a regular hose.

Solid maybe? The outflow hose is smaller in diameter than a garden hose and it doesn't have a threaded fitting like a garden hose. That said, I think you could probably find something at your hardware store to rig up greater hose length if you need it. Maybe the same size hose and a double-sided coupler to connect the two? Maybe a slightly bigger diameter hose that you can fit over the one on the pump and then clamp? Good luck.
