Hi! This is a bit of a long shot as I know this thread is old, but I was just wondering if you ever figured out a solution for your rain barrel?

I'm in a similar situation... My rain barrel just drains so SLOWLY. I'd like to hook up a proper hose and nozzle, or even a sprinkler...

Did a sump pump work?

I was thinking of cutting open the lid of mine to make it removable, that way I could completely submerged the pump.

I'd love to hear from you! Thanks!

Since you want pressure to run a sprinkler, why are you looking at sump pumps
instead of a water pump used for a well?



Probably cost. Sump pumps can be had for $125. Well pumps $1500 and up

IDK what well pumps you're looking at or where you get your prices,
but a basic well pump can be had for $125 too. What well pump costs $1500?
Even typical submersible costs less than half that. For something like
this, can probably find low cost or used ones on Ebay too.



OK, I see some shallow well pumps cheap. Grundfos deep well high
capacity are easily $1500
