Yes but size is important, because pumps can only push water up so much do to gravity. Is it food or drip?
Aww I see. I am assuming you are asking if it's FLOOD or drip and I am going to say drip. I would like to position a hose near the base of my plants and have water come in a timed interval. And let me say that I apologize first hand if I am totally describing it wrong. I'm a jackwad, but I'm motivated and ready to learn. Be doin a shit load of reading for well over q month and now I'm ready to ask specific questions not covered in my reasearch I.e. Water pump?
I am trying to complete this scenario
"....They have PH testers that when hooked up to a H20 Pump will turn the pump on when the PH moves out of the desired range. You use them by hooking them up to a small tote filled with water PH'd very low. When the PH rises the tester will kick the pump on, the pump should be set up to pump from the small tote into your 5 gallon reservoir. This will pump enough low PH water into your reservoir to stabilize PH automatically while you are gone. This will also help to keep your res topped off."
When he says H20 pump, what kind? This person ia doing the same thing I want to do.

a small pond pump should work,start with a cheap 100gph and see were you stand, it should be enough for drip unless you have a large setup
No in fact it's not. It's 1 plant. I was thinking along the lines of this,

my timer will be on for minute to kick this pump on and the reservoir one as well pretty much feeding and discarding old water once the plant has rested in it for a set amount of time.

too expensive, you can get a small pond pump for around $10 on ebay
