Algreen 500GPH Rain Barrel Pump Kit

This pump works great for watering my garden from my rain barrel. The pressure is perfect. Without the pump, the water would barely drip out of a 75' hose. While it is not as strong as the water from my house spigot, it doesn't need to be for watering my vegetables. I would give it five stars, but I am not sure how well it is made or how long it will hold up continually submerged in my rain barrel.************Update, I have increased my rating to 5 stars as the pump is still working beautifully having been submerged in my rain barrel the entire time (nearly 5 years) through even through some freezing winter temps.

Have a rain barrel but never could get the water flowing to the raised garden beds. This little pump works great. Easy set up and good flow amount. We didn't want it to flow too fast (have it going to a soaker hose) so this little pump is perfect. So nice to use rain water instead of pricey city water to keep our small garden watered when it's hot.

This pump works but is not very powerful. I have used it with my rain barrel although it does not have enough power to make a sprinkler work. It is much better for watering by hand than using the spigot at the bottom of the rain barrel but I will need to get a more powerful pump to make it worthwhile. Note: I had no idea what type of pump to get and maybe I shouldn't have expected this pump to work for a sprinkler, especially for the price?

This has worked fine for two years now. My front yard is 5 feet above the backyard rain barrels. I laid in long garden hoses. The water flows in the front yard quite well. There is no real pressure in the flow, but it waters the flowers just fine. There is a HowTo YouTube video for cleaning the filter. Quite easy.

Got this pump today and installed it into my rain barrel with out any problems at all in about 20 minutes. When I turned the pressure up to max. and hooked up a garden hose you could not tell it wasn't hooked to the main water system. Great product and easy to follow instructions. Would definately buy this product again.

I am using it exactly as advertised, in a rain barrel to water the nearby plants. After a week, it would not turn on anymore, and I had to dig it out of the barrel and bang on it to free it up and get it working again. The threads for the screening portions dont match the other parts that came with it, and it's all just cheaply made and innefecfive. Don't waste your money.

I ordered this pump to be used in my rain barrels. It could barely pump the water up the hose to the top of the barrel let alone pump the water into the hoses. Very disappointed with the unit and the description of what it can do.

Does what I wanted
