Barrel Pump Water in Q&A

What was the connection between Water Pump and Barrel Roll? Clue: 1964

Michael J replied: "The "secret" war in Laos. Barrel Roll - American aircrews flying in support of Laotian troops. Water Pump - Americans training Laotians on counterinsurgency."

i just noticed my papyrus plant, which i keep in a barrel w/ water and a pump, has green, slimey funk? ive had it in there for awhile and i used to be able to see the bottom, should i just leave it alone or change the water out, add something to "clear" it up, or.....

byderule replied: "that is algae which is not harmfull it is food for many fish and some algaes were actually produced and eaten by the central American Indians, dont put chemicals in, put in a fish if it is big enough ,there are very small fish which we put in water tanks just for that reason to clean up the water ,a turtle will also eat it, it is a very good growth for aquatic species,although it can glog up transperant water hoses so best leave it alone ,it is not uggly is is ,it has a very rich green colour like moss."

diggin_thedirt replied: "Dont let it clog your pump or it will burn it out just clean out the gunk and change the water every once and a while"

What are those things called that recirculate paint thinner in a barrel through a sink like unit with a pump? It's a 55 gallon barrel with a sink-like unit on it draining back into the barrel with a small electric (what i assume is a) water pump pulling from the barrel and draining into the sink. I've seen them in auto shops and offset printing press facilities for cleaning tools and such.

David replied: "It's called a cleaning or degreasing station."

Jon C replied: "a parts cleaner"

Bub replied: "Harborfreight.com has them very cheap."

dodge man replied: "its called a parts washer,they have those at any place that usually sells tools now for a good one they cost about 120 bucks and not all of them set on a barrel some have their own tank,here's a good example of one,go her and type in the words parts washer and you,ll see plenty of them,good luck,"

how do I set up a pond pump to circulate water between 2 barrels? I am setting up 2 water garden barrels and would like to know how to circulate the water between them. I will be adding submerged and deep water plants and eventually a couple of gold fish. I want water to trickle from one barrel to other, how do I do this?

boardhistgrin replied: "u could raise one barrel. then drill o hole at the level u want the water to drain. then adhear pipe... or jig saw a wider opening,then make/match some sort of "water diverter". but have the pipe/diverter...whatever first. so u can make the right size opening. the right adhesive too. the pump only works "1 way". drop it in there and run hose to other barrel."

mike p replied: "Try a simple siphon hose between them."

renpen replied: "The way it is done usually is to have one barrel higher than the other. You would put the pump into the lower barrel and pump into the upper. The upper barrel would have to be connected to the lower one with a hose or some sort of waterway. It isn't hard to do but you have to design it the way you want. The water will be pumped from the lower level back to the upper level and gravity flow back into the lower. The level difference doesn't have to be that great."

manual water pump system? Hey I need to pump water from a river and use be able to use it through a hose and also make the hose have pressure. I was thinking pump the water into a barrel and into a hose or something from there? Anyone know anything about if this would work? What would I need? thanks also there isnt electricity so it needs to be manual

deadbreed1212 replied: "tried to send pix of water pump. no paste function on answers. anyhow a pulley at the top and bottom w/ a paddle wheel ran by river current. gear it down small pulley on paddle to big rope pulley under water to soak rope. an adjustable wringer pulley at top squishes water from soft rope into a drum or tank. i will try to email picture."

Uranus replied: "buy a submersible water pump. they are the best and longest runing with high pressure. also they are portable and u can take out any time. they are applicable in sea , rivers, very deep pumping etc. but remember to wrap it with a light and silky cloth to prevent the sand going in to it before use in sea and rivers. u dont need a barrel or tank. As they re not heating,they can work continuously even for a years.u can operate from a distance, much pressure than any centrigugal pump. hope it heps. good luck........."

Homeade or Cheap Water Pump to back fill an aquarium from an aging barrel.? I need a way to move around 20 to 30 gallons of clean conditioned water straight up 16 feet twice a week. It can take up to 30-60 minutes or so. Looking for cheap or homemade ideas. 1 inch or smaller hose would be best. if it's easy to pump, a manual device would be fine, or adaptable to a small electric motor. Currently, hand carrying water in 5 gallon buckets upstairs for water changes in a Discus tank. Looking to improve the process on the cheap. DIY Ideas welcome, as well as inexpensive store bought ideas. The tank is a 100 gallon Discus tank, thus the need for frequent water changes. Someone suggested a 25 dollar pump from wallyworld, I have not been able to find a pump under 250 dollars that will push water up 17' of head. Cowboydoc, could you be more specific?

Jim W replied: "A small pump that is driven by an electric drill motor seems to be your best solution. Black and Decker produced some, use a standard garden hose for in and out. Put the pump at the bottom, they push better than they pull."

oil field trash replied: "You might want to consider a barrel or drum pump such as those at this site: -%20Pumps-_-Drum%20Pumps-_-drum%20pumps&OVRAW=barrel%20pumps&OVKEY=drum%20pump&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=7025957521&OVKWID=61161259021 If you are willing to spend a $100 or so, then a small pond pump from some place like the "PondGuy.com" might work."

cowboydoc replied: "Why are you doing this twice a week, you should only have to change the water once a year with the proper filters. Go to Wal-Mart and get a decent pump from them for $25.00 or your going to be spending more then that on back problems."

Can anyone help with a water feature leak? I bought a whiskey barrel water feature today, which has two half barrels, a large one at the bottom and a small one at the top. The pump goes in the bottom barrel, pumps the water up to the top one, which then enables the feature to work by overflowing out of a cast pump. However, both barrels I have been told by the company, will leak until they have been given time to 'swell' and fill out as they have been kept in a dry environment for storage. I have tried putting water in them but it gushes out, in fact water doesn't even stay in them. What is the best way to make them 'swell' quicker than the expected 3 weeks to a month that the supplier reckons it will take? You can see daylight through some of the barrel!! Thanks Thanks for both comments. It is incredibly large, so to immerse it in another object larger is impossible, but thanks for the idea, if it were smaller I would certainly try that one. I shall wrap lots and lots of cling film round it I think, several layers thick and try to fill it up that way to ensure the wood stays damp to enable it to swell. Plastic wrapping I fear would just still leak as it is impossible to keep anything attached to the barrel and the water still seeps out. 50 boxes of cling film could be my answer!!! Thanks so much for the ideas, you have both been a great help. x

Y T replied: "You will need something bigger than the barrel to soak the barrel in to enable it to swell. You will need something to weight it down. Good luck.x"

ANTHONY B replied: "wrap polythene round the outside to hold the water until the barrel expands"

master of all replied: "you can run silocon in side of gaps then fill or place base in plastic bags and fill with water and keep topping up they will soon swell"

what size pond pump do I need for my water garden? I am creating a garden using 2 small barrels. 39 litres each, I will be circulating the water between the 2 and want to know what size pond pump I will need?

oil field trash replied: "That really depends on what kind of flow you want. You can have a trickle or a full blown water fall. Here is a site that might help you. Remember if you get a pump that is a bit too large you can always restrict the flow on the discharge and make it fit you needs. I would suggest you consider something like this: --statuary-fountain-pumps.cfm"

Karen J replied: "when you go to buy the pump,it will tell you on the box how much water the pump will need...should'nt be a very big one."

Powering a fountain/filter for a container water garden? This is my first time trying something like this. I’m making a 30 gallon half-barrel water garden with 2-3 goldfish, some aquatic snails, and appropriate flora (hyacinth, anacharis, parrot’s feather…). I would like a fountain and filter, but the closest electrical outlet is 50 ft away. I am trying to avoid the hassle of installing UF cable, and have considered as an alternative this solar fountain:--Day-Solar-Fountain-Pump-Kit-p-2.html I can’t tell if the fountain pump is also a filter, and it won't be running 24/7. I’ve been reading but haven’t been able to determine what degree of filtration is recommended for a container garden with fish. At least it will keep the water from getting stagnant, which may discourage algae growth, and it will help to oxygenate the water. If I were to couple the solar fountain with weekly 20% water changes, would this be sufficient to deter algae growth and keep ammonia/nitrite levels down?

bingo488092003 replied: "you might have to talk to some one special on this like a county agent at your state capitol. i,ve seen a store along side of the road next to a nursery farm that actually dig a pond for you and put fish,rocks,trees and a large fountain in the middle of it. maybe you,ve seen such a place and they might give you some help. as far as electricity goes use an extension cord with a timer plugged into one end so it can turn off and on while you,re gone. i have also seen wind mills along side of a pond for agitation and kill weed growth."

saaanen replied: "First of all, where is your sense of economy? A fountain pump costs $20.00, and and a heavy duty extension cord costs about the same. Second, if you have the proper balance of plants and fish you won't need a filter or a fountain. I think you had better do some more research. I have 2 water gardens in my back yard, and do not own either a filter or a fountain, and only have algae when the sun is hot and the temperatures are, too. And they're a lot bigger than 30 gallons!"

lilmystic63 replied: "from my experience one has to have a pump going 24/7. this keeps the water flowing and if the pump has a built in filter it also keeps the water clean. occasionally you may have to change the water as depending on how much sun your container pond gets it will have some degree of green water which is algae. the snails help to keep the algae that grows on the bottom and sides of your container cleaner,but a good filter is a definite plus. check with your local Earl May or where ever you are getting the container pond from. Sometimes less is better when it comes to small container ponds as you are wanting to do."
