I made a water slide for my 4 year old today. I used a Wayne 1 HP pump
from Farm and Fleet, and their garden hose adapter.

The pump has openings for 1" pipe (1" NPT), and adapters for garden
hose, which is what I used.

I suspect that if I could use a 1" hose instead, I would greatly
improve water throughput and reduce load on the pump. The lift is only
about 2 feet. It may increase to maybe 4 feet if/when my son would
want a more exciting ride.


Increasing water throughput will actually cause the pump to work harder.
