Hi all,

my "new" (to me, anyway, as of a month and a half ago) has two cisterns
to collect rainwater runoff from the roof of the house. They're just
sitting on concrete pads above grade. The PO's I think only used them
for watering plants. Let's say I wanted to wash my car, is there an
inexpensive portable electric pump that I could use? (I say portable
because I'd like to be able to only buy one pump but use it at either
cistern if I so desired.) Both just have a spigot for discharge.

thanks,

nate

Put a power cord and handle on it and you're portable. Gives you a pump
designed to produce decent pressure at lower flow rates unlike typical
portable submersibles which are designed for higher flow at lower
pressures. Pressure switch and accumulator tank so you don't have issues
with a pump overheating when you have the nozzle shut off.

That looks perfect! Have you used one, or did you just DAGS? I have to
admit I'm a little skeptical of HF products that don't carry major brand
labels, but I'm willing to try it for the price.

thanks,

nate
