when the barrel is partially full is there enough pressure to attach a spray nozzle to the hose and have the water spray out adequitly?

Depends on what type of pressure you expect, if you are looking for enough to water plants then from my experience it does.
647009
Haven't tried that but wouldn't think it would have enough force to be useful.

Spray nozzle, no, its only gravity so you don't get a lot of pressure but its good enough to get the water out flowing from a rigid hose.

Not really - My barrel is about 8" above the ground and when the barrel is partially full, or even full, the pressure is adequate to fill watering cans or water nearby plants but not to actually "spray" very far as you would with an outdoor faucet. This unit works great for its intended purpose - to water our plants with "free" untreated water.

There is no pressure generated by waters weight. All that one can hope for is drainage into a watering can. I recommend purchasing the stand that is sold as an option to raise the barrel up adequately for access to the drain valve.

If the gun is clean and the can is pretty full it will shoot a foot or more but you really should have the nozzle a few inches away from where you want to insulate.

it isn't sufficient for a spray gun. it runs continuisly and it cannot provide consistant pressure that is required. only had for 2 weeks but would like more capacity

Hi Dave, yes the nozzle must be intact on can. The spray gun pushes down on actual the nozzle of the spray can. Hope this helps!

Just make sure the barrel is "mostly" empty. Otherwise water could freese and expand and crack your barrel. I reroute the water to a corrugated plasitic pipe underground that daylights away from the foundation.

Yes! You just disconnect the hose leading to the barrel and then use the provided stopper to plug up the same nozzle leading from the diverter. (The principle on which it works is that, with nowhere to go, the water just builds up inside the diverter and drains as it would normally) You don't need to removed the diverter itself. I like this diverter. So far it's been maintenance free and works VERY effectively. My two rain barrels fill up very quickly and when full, the rain pours down the normal downspout. I would fully recommend this diverter. Make sure you follow the instructions and don't cut out too much of a gap when installing!

The sprayer mode does not really increase the pressure like a normal separate sprayer would. This is a bit annoying, but overall there is good pressure.

Not out of the box. There are some pressure regulators you can put in-line with the hose to accomplish this, however, both nozzles on this unit output the same pressure set on the read out.

Don't worry, the internal design diverts water to the outlet for the barrel. I wondered the same thing, but my barrel is always full

Your hose is pinched or blocked. There is not enough pressure from the barrel to push water through any type of sprayer.

The depth of the barrel would be too much for this pump and even if you supported it, so there would be just an inch or two water over it, I don't think it would create a big enough effect for the barrel.

There is a spigot about 3/4 the way down the barrel and the hose you see in the picture comes from the under side with a cutoff switch on the end of the hose so the barrel can empty out. It is quite handy.

you can adjust the pressure coming out of the head. I used this on my wood deck and was milder than using the spray head. This cuts your time by 75%. It is worth it!

Yes but not completely off. The black push knob makes go from full spray to a small trickle. It can't be completely off for water pressure reasons.

Yes, once the barrel is full, any excess rainwater continues down the spout (assuming you're using a barrel with a sealed lid, not something like a hinged-lid garbage can).

Yes hose a sprayer pull out from spring thing... maybe 12 or 15 inches depends on where you place the weight to pull hose back into spring.

Sprayer was contained quite nicely (just make sure there is little to no wind at the time of spraying). I had everything taped with paper so wasn't too concerned with any overspray, but that didn't seem to be a problem. Only problem was the hose that came with the unit. Had a huge bubble that appeared to be a safety issue, so I replaced it before the project began.
