what is the smallest pump I can get away with using a watering wand?
1/2 hp pump is a little overkill I believe...The tent I want to use it for is only a 3x3 tent so I would need pretty much the weakest I can get away with without too much pressurethe yellow mondi 1/2 hp pump is so perfect i have 2 love them
Ohh...I wasnt even thinking about a valve I gotta get oneYou can really throttle the pressure down just by using a valve, mr roboto. I have the 1/3hp sump pump, does me just fine.
Damn a 375 gallon pump can work with 75' hose.....i might need to go with a ball valve and maybe a 375 ot 300 gph....im actually planning on using a 5 gal bucket to mix and then water and my bucket is basically in front of my tent so I am onlyusing a really short under 10 ' half inch tubing....thanks for the ideasI use a 375 gph pump with a 75' long retractable hose in 1/2" and a water wand :D Works great

The pocket hose, urban? I have one of those! Pretty cool, but I've had problems getting other fittings to not leak, so I have to use the hose by itself. Gotta get that figured out.
The CAP ebb and flow pumps are cheap (~300 gph / $20) and run a 25' length of gardenhose fine if without obstructions, and using a watering wand without internal valve (cheap black and decker with valve works better than trigger style wand, no constriction) fill 3 gal pots fast enough.Ohh...I wasnt even thinking about a valve I gotta get one

Yeah dude, I do it twice a day. Yer gonna need a much heftier pump though, 1/5hp minimum and that's not much pressure (gets the job done). One of mine is Ace hardware brand, better one is flotec from the depot. Most nozzles and wands kind of suck with these weak pumps, so maybe save the hassle and size up? Instead of buying and returning every nozzle design ever made, like someone I know..
Oh, and grab a few of those quick release fittings, then you can switch between nutes and water easily. Small labor savings add up to make gardening less stress (says the guy who's still hand watering). Seriously, why not go DTW? I am, just been to busy to hook everything up yet.
