How to use

Install the pump into the rain barrel or attach to the barrel outlet according to the manufacturer's mounting instructions, ensuring the unit is correctly positioned and submerged to the recommended level. Connect an appropriate garden hose or accessory to the pump outlet and place the delivery end where water is required. Insert a compatible 18V battery and switch the pump on to begin drawing water. Monitor flow and stop operation if the barrel becomes empty or if the pump runs dry; follow safe battery handling and charging procedures using a compatible charger.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use a compatible 18V battery with sufficient capacity for the intended runtime, ensure hoses and connections are tight to avoid air leaks, and avoid pumping water with large debris or sediment that could clog the unit. Regularly inspect and clean the intake area and follow winter storage guidance to protect the pump from freezing temperatures.
