Hi,
I have connected some water butts to our drain pipes so we now have lots of free water. Buckets and watering cans are fine but being lazy, we would like to use a hose pipe occasionally ;)
So I am looking for some sort of pump to generate a decent flow: what are my options? I see machine mart sell all sorts of water pumps:
submersible ones:
and centrifugal ones:
Am I right to think that these pumps are on for as long as they are powered, so they could be pumping when I don't want them to? Is a pressure switch like this:
I have heard that some pressure washers will connect to a water butt but it seems a bit over the top to water the roses with 120 bars!
I see that water butt pumps are available but these appear to be just another submersible pump without pressure switch. Is that right?
Any ideas what would work best?
TIA
