Do you have grand ideas of using rainwater to water your garden? One way you can do this is to set up a standard rain barrel. However, you can go a step further by adding a water pump so you are not relying on gravity. You will require a solar powered water pump for water barrels.
One interesting way to use a solar powered water pump for water barrels is to water your yard. The use of a timer or a simple switch might be needed so the pump does not run all the time. If not, it may lead to an issue where the pump needs to be replaced a lot sooner than expected.
Any existing rain barrels can be used with a solar powered water pump for water barrels. The main thing to do is make sure the plumbing and wiring is correct to prevent any damage to the pump unit.
