Link to 'similar' 1hp irrigation pump: amzn.to/4bhlHDO
In this video I walk through my adding a 1 hp Drummond water irrigation pump to my IBC Tote Rainwater Harvesting System we built this spring to boost the pressure. I also employ a little science and test the flow using gravity only, followed by a test after the pump was added. Check it out.

Without booster pump would you gain flow without hose nozzle? With pump would you gain more pressure and output with a larger inlet hose on pump? Nice looking garden by the way, your hard work is paying off.

Any increase in diameter of the 'tap & hose' would result in greater flow, but not additional pressure. So would fill the bucket faster using gravity only. I would guess a 2" connection and hose would drain those Totes pretty quickly.

U need full flow 3/4 " ball valve, that shut off causes restriction

Great recommendation Rick. Yeah, I would not get any more pressure, but I'd certainly get more flow.

When do we get to see the wench motor hooked to the hose retractor? Garden is looking great!

I have to pull the end up to the barn, then the middle up to the barn just to be able to reel in all that hose. I'm leaving the last 100' (150-250') down in the garden.

Got some PTO coming up, going to try and get out and find some more silver. First time in quite a while.
