Will this work in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket for live anchovies or sardines?

No. The output of the pump is heavy and a larger container is needed. I used a large cooler for one and have used a medium storage container from Wal Mart, the kind the sell during the holidays for packing up holiday decorations. Good system otherwise.

The spray bar is a little long for that but it will work. I would suggest a larger container for this particular pump as it has a pretty high output. I have it installed in a larger cooler that fills the stern area in my boat serving as a live well and a seat. I have had upwards of 50 crappie/bluegill in tank and have had no issues keeping them alive. If you wish to stay with a smaller container, there are smaller and cheaper options.

The only issue I can see is that the pvc pipe is straight but you may be able to make your own which should work. I have fished with minnows for years and as many fishers can state they die fairly quick. I use this in a 50 gallon cooler in my jon boat and the minnows survive the entire day plus I put my catch in there as well and I can easily keep 4 large bass alive for 5 hours (the time I head in), needless to say since I've owned this I have had a few dead minnows (sucked into the pump) and never lost a catch so by far its amazing for what I use it for.

I cut through sterilite tubs, so you should be able to cut through a 5gallon bucket if it's a thinner one.

It should, I have used it on a couple different brands of jugs. I would say no smaller than 5 gal though

It should do well in a 5 gallon tank. The only concern I would have is if it would fit, but with this filter you can position it either vertically or horizontally.

It does not have the circulation volume needed for that. For fish not feet. They do make larger ones that may work. �

It fits in a standard 5 gallon bucket. It also makes a great seat when there is nothing else around.

We did not look very hard, but based on the type of rim this bucket has I know the lids for standard five gallon buckets will not work. The way the handle is mounted also threatens to interfere with lids. The best thing is probably to cut a piece of scrap plywood to size. It might not snap on, but it should keep the birds from messing the water.

Yes, they work in a 5 gal bucket, and they reach the bottom. You can purchase a toilet seat designed for a 5 gallon bucket that locks the bags in place when seated in the bucket.

Yes. The usable depth of the hook remover in a fish's mouth is 3-3/4", so it should be fine for most surf/pier fish. However, be sure to definitely rinse it in fresh water after using it in saltwater so parts of it don't rust.

yes, the diameter of a 5 gallon bucket is 12 inches, this unit has a diameter of 10.5 inches

To give you a reference point, my pump sits in a typical Home Depot 5 gallon utility bucket with an inch or two to spare around the perimeter. I am not sure what application you plan on using the pump for, but a five gallon bucket enclosure is as small a sump pit enclosure you could feasibly have. My pump sits in a five gallon bucket with holes drilled in the sides on a bed of gravel in my window well.

Patricia this product prolly could be used in regular outhouse ...but you'd have to make some way to hold it. It's really designed to be used in a 5 gal bucket type situation...hope that helps....Glen

Certainly. It stays closed until you pull the handle, and the hose is long enough and flexible. 5 gal size would be a bit on the heavy side full but not unmanageable.

I bought this for a 5 gallon Fluval Spec and it works great. Very easy to use and makes water changes easy. Should work for you.

This model can be used with either 1gallon or 5 gallon buckets...I wouldn't recommend any can size smaller than a 1 gallon.

No it will not , 5 gallon mouth on the containers are too big , I had to modify my plastic container to make it work

This thing is the bomb. I use it in a shed directly into a very large plastic bag but it should work with a 5 gallon bucket. It works perfectly every time. I recycle for my whole community and have really given it a workout. The directions suggest a height but I use mine just a little higher.
