Hi does anyone know if this can pull water from a static water source?

Probably not, the pump is designed to push water not pull it. If you could gravity feed you might be able to supply enough flow but really it requires a pressurized water source to function correctly. However it is one of the best electric pressure washers I have seen. I am very pleased with mine.

Not a 100% sure but do not think would work with static water source. It seems to need good water pressure to work effectively. Have noticed that it works best if I open the source valve all the way

I don't think this one will pull it's own supply water. Look into the Karcher units for that feature. They advertise it heavily on them. Check out the 540. I little more expensive but is made to do what your looking for..

I actually purchased it for this reason! No it will NOT, it does not have the power to force water UP... only moves it sideways.

I have used this system for 8+ months now. It simply pulls water from a nearby water source such as a pitcher, washed out soda bottle, or any other water container. You pull a vacuum on in the tubing and siphon water from the water container similar to how one would siphon gas out of car's gas tank.

I do not think so. I returned this item because I tho it the pressure of flowing water was not strong enough for me.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

Yes it can, just make sure you don't overfill it so, and let it steam a little while so all that comes out is the steam, not any drops of water. It works very well on all materials.

I'm guessing it would work but also dependent on the mass of water in your rain barrel which would create pressure, by the weight of the water, to 'push' the water through the drip lines.

This pump is meant to draw water from a source (ie pond, containment etc)....I would look at purchasing a sprinkler boooster pump for your purpose.

No power like no electric or it's just not real strong? It takes a while to move a lot of water. Seems to have about the same pressure as my garden hose does. If we have a big rain or I need to remove the water fast, then I use a good old fashioned sump pump I got from Home Depot. Hope this helps

I tried using it for an in-ground pool and tried to get it to self prime but had no luck. It would suck all the water I added to the strainer but wouldn't pull water from the pool, about 2.5 ft elevation difference. Returned it and bought one for in-ground. It primed fine.

The one I have doesn't hold water. I have a water pick for that. Hope this helps.

Yes. It runs on a pressure switch that isn't sensitive enough to detect less than an inch or two of water. Depending on how high it's lifting water, a little can get past the check valve leaving you with some in the sink. A better valve might help. I wired an AC relay in parallel so I can operate it by a push button switch switch when I want to get it empty.

It could be a variety of reasons. check all your hoses and filters and that the lift away is on properly. It could be you are releasing too much water to begin with...It is all trial and error. work with it

I don't think this can pull from that depth.....probably talking 1/2hp well pump power.

I have it connected to my shower, I don't think its capable of handing the amount of water from a tub. You would need to get a separate saniflow like they have for the washers. You can call to check though.

Using mine on a regular 15 amp GFI recepticle and is working just fine. I beleive it only pulls a few amps. Prob 3 or 4 at most. Been issuing it for about 2 months now for a fountain I put in the lake behind my house. Still going strong. There a lot if muck in it so I have to unplug it quit a bit. Will not burn up but has to be completely submerged and have good water flow to it or it won't work since its water cooled.

Yes, but mk sure it's held tightly. It may let a slight ant of water in. I used an air suction/circulator I bought on amazon to help with that.
