K Kush28 Active Member Dec 11, 2008 #1 I would like to use a trash can with a submersible pump attached to a watering wand so I can easily water my plants. But I am not sure how many gph I need? What fittings do I need to hookup to a watering hose?

BCtrippin Well-Known Member Dec 14, 2008 #3 I use a submersible utility pump, only cost about $60-80, Make sure the pump can attach a regular garden hose (most pumps will be able to attach a garden hose out of the box) Just hook up the hose, and get a sprayer wand. I like the wands with the hand trigger so you can adjust/stop flow. I run a 1800GPH pump and it works great. Pretty much anything over 800GPH should work perfect for what your using it for. Oh and do yourself a favor, buy a NICE hose. I bought $7 garden hose once, worst idea ever.
