Default What sort of outlet pressure can a sump-pump generate?

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?


Or a sprinkler pump perhaps.
